Profiteering Complaint against American Tourister/Samsonite
I am thankful all members of the circles who have appreciated my efforts to bring profiteering under gst to light.
Through my big bazaar contact, I have been able to find the american tourister or rather samsonite has also been profiteering under gst.
american tourister product AT Sky Tracer HL Blue 68 cm (hard trolley) had a MRP of 9100 on 30/10/17 when Big Bazaar procured it under PO 8114960012.
The same product was supplier by samsonite to big bazaar on 11/12/17 after gst rate reduction under po 8115364220 and mrp was 9100 again (though gst rates were reduced from 28% to 18%)
thats not all, assuming old packaging may still be lying with samsonite one can still be ok, but when samsonite supplied to big bazaar on 26/6/18 i.e. 7 months after the rate reduction under po 4518446183 they still supplied with mrp 9100 which means they decided they will not pass the rate reduction to consumer.
As of today 29/7 the product is still listed on amazon for MRP 9100.

anti profiteering authority is requested to book samsonite and contact big bazaar if they want to validate these purchase orders. more

And people would still continue to buy American Tourister and Samsonite baggages for Brand Value & nobody atleast from Consumer side would be complaining. Big Bazaar themselves are big thieves so it is only natural that a con gets conned by another con and fools pay the price. more
