Display of MRP and Best Before Date on eCommerce sites

The PCR 2017 amendment had gone into effect on Jan 1, 2018 after many of you participated last year in the consultation exercise.

With this post, we would like to seek your inputs on any specific examples where you find an ecommerce site/app not displaying MRP or Best Before information (human consumption items).

Please share as much details of such violations including including screenshot/pictures.
Thanks for your regular participation!

"Best before use" must be followed without any excuse. more  
Many times, the MRP is rubbed off to sell at seller's choice. We should not buy item which does not have MRP and best before date/month year. more  
In this context , I wish to comment about 3 issues viz -Working out the MRP & its display on the product , is full of malpractices . It is fixed exhorbitantly high & is not based on the inputs cost , labour cost Overheads & Profits but has huge margins for intermeditries , may be higher by 200% ,that is how we find huge margins between the MRP & actual Price or the discounts offered from retailer to retailor In the Medicine & Electrical, status is worst . There should be some mechanisim to check the Fixing of MRP Likewise Best Before or Validity of an item should also be done done standardised norms , to be fixed by a regulatory Authority Thirdly there are no rules or Guidelines for fixing discounted price on residual Life. Recently I came across COLGATE SENSITIVE TOOTH PASTE with valid life of 24 mths , mfrd in Oct 2016 being sold in the market at 50%of MRP , though residual life is hardly a mth . This can cause havocs , specially in case of Medicines being sold at 10-20% discounts & in the process supplying medicines which are leagly not out dated but have little life left pl more
