Consumer win on Dual MRP of water

NCDRC issues order to stop dual pricing of mineral water. This means if we see water selling at higher than base mrp anywhere, the mfg and retailer can be booked. Everyone should report and consumer dept action to stop this menace.

The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, New Delhi, in Revision Petition of 2015 examined the matter of dual pricing in the light of Consumer Protection Act, 1986, and held vide its order dated February 1, 2016 that “there cannot be two MRPs, except in accordance with the law”. NCDRC also directed Director, Legal Metrology, Government of India to take necessary action. The said order was circulated to all the state governments for follow up action under the Legal Metrology Act and Rules, for contravention of legal provisions for Consumer Protection.

Implementation is very difficult in this country. water bottles are still sold at higher prices in the city of kolkata and nothing can be done about it. more  
I read dual mrp can lead to jail more  
The companies are minting money through sale of Mineral Water. Let it be priced reasonably. more
