Maximum retail price

No MRP on products you buy could amount to an unfair trade practice. And you can file a case against that.

According to the definition, it is a trade practice carried out for the promotion of the sale. It is the distribution or utilisation of any goods or services by adopting a deceptive method or practice.

In some airports, like Guwahati for example, there is only one restaurant and with the inflated charges for food and beverages, passengers find them unaffordable, limiting their choices severely.

It said that when hotels and restaurants sell food and drinks, they also render a service, making it a composite transaction with composite billing. Therefore, MRP rates cannot be insisted upon for such entities.

The Food and Public Distribution minister took to Twitter to make it clear that the price for bottled water cannot exceed the MRP.
