Yes, in India, the Maximum Retail Price (MRP) is always inclusive of all taxes, including GST. Retailers and sellers cannot charge any amount over and above the printed MRP on a packaged product. Charging extra GST on top of the MRP is illegal and a violation of consumer rights. The MRP is calculated by the manufacturer and covers all costs, including manufacturing, transportation, marketing, profit margins, and all applicable taxes. Key Points to Remember
- MRP is the final price: The price printed on the package is the maximum you can be charged. - No extra charges: A seller cannot add separate "cooling charges" or "service charges" over the MRP either. - Sellers can charge less: Retailers are free to sell a product at a price below the MRP, often offering discounts. - Your consumer rights: If a seller charges more than the MRP, you can refuse to pay the excess amount and file a complaint with the National Consumer Helpline (NCH) or the Legal Metrology Department. HOWEVER THERE IS A HITCH. IF SOLD IN MRP WHOLLY NO FURTHER GST; BUT SALE PRICE IS BELOW PAR SO GST PORTION MAY NOT BE THERE; SO LEVIED.
