The Honorable Minister,

Ministry of Consumers Affairs, Government of India

Date:-15 July 2015

Subject:-Regarding clarification & definition for any product selling at Maximum Retail Price

Sir,

There is ambiguity with the customers and free willing with the shopkeepers as the maximum shopkeeper compulsorily charges the price of any product according M.R.P written on the product. There are exception of shopkeepers charging the product at lower than M.R.P written on it but this prerogative & privileges lies with the shopkeepers only. The customers have no rights, definition and logic to ask the shopkeeper to fair way.

The shopkeepers also stamp the product with fancy M.R.P themselves instead of printed M.R.P which customers have no easy way to protest or raise complaints against such free willing of shopkeepers.

On some occasion the shopkeepers charge more than M.R.P citing the upkeep of products viz chilled drinks when customers have no way but to pay extra buck or keep moving other shops.

This is a common man problem which can’t or mustn’t be ignored in the larger interest of the customers.

The able ministry must come with blanket rules punishing shopkeepers with the cancellation of license for shop or ensure the closure of such shops for few weeks or evolve a mechanism to trap such shopkeeper with minimum evidence including the audio recording by the customers.

There is one Ayurveda Medicine shop in Maa Bhagwati Commercial Complex at Boring Road Crossing, Patna who charges exactly according to M.R.P and never budge to negotiate the M.R.P.

I, therefore, appeal you to publish the definition of M.R.P and punish those violating, ban the stamping of M.R.P by shopkeepers, hit hard those selling the products at higher rate than M.R.P and simplify evidencing of price negotiation between shopkeepers and customers.

Copy to all other honorable capable recipients concerned
