soo, theres a shop from where i buy milk everyday, and i have noticed that they charge 1 rupee more than MRP, which is hilarious lol

like a nandini blue milk costs 24 rupees but they sell it in 25, similarly once i went to buy a curd at night and payed 26 before they gave it and was abt to leave then the shop owner reminded me to pay 1 rupee more as its their policy to charge 27 for curd at night,

look, im not someone who’ll go to court for just 1 rupee but isnt it illegal to sell things above MRP price ?, what would happen if they do that ?

Yes it is illegal to charge above msrp. Shops might cite refrigeration charges, but it is on the shop to maintain perishable goods at their required temperatures till the goods are sold.

Simple solution is to don’t buy from those shops. It happens everywhere. For cold drinks, also they charge. The profit margin is very less that’s why to compensate that they charge higher.

Even I am facing the same issue. I also threatened them to complain but they said *uck off. I am looking for a solution here rather than comments suggesting to purchase from other shops. All shops are following this practice.

Consumers can also contact the National Consumer Helpline at 1800-11-4000/ 1915 or file a complaint with the Consumer Forum in their respective district or Visit the Consumer Helpline Website: Go to ConsumerHelpline.gov.in.

p.s- im gonna file an online complaint for exactly the same thing. (Rs 34 amul milk, selling at Rs 35)
