PRICE TAGS ON PACKETS

Of late it has been found at least some of our packed products do not have either price or weight or both of them. Through it is mandatory as per GST Act in India to mention the price and gross weight of the packet  on the cover, many manufacturers  skip either of these or both. In these days when people are doing self collection of the required commodities from super markets, they need to ensure while picking the packets the quantity and the price on the cover. Despite making suitable law for this and establishing seperate department to enforce the law some manufacturers, willingly or otherwise do not comply with the law. In some cases though both these informations are available on the packets it is very difficult to read because of the size of the letters and the location where it is shown.

It may, therefore, please  be ensured by all concerned that

 in every packets the price, weight/nos  date of manufacture and shelf life of the contents may be printed legibly in  visible location.

All buyers should  also ensure that price, weight etc tags are available on every packet they buy. Any default in this matter may be brought to the notice of the concerned authority instantly. If buyers do not respond properly, the sellers may have a take it for granted attitude.
