Circle in news in Asian Age
The Consumer Affairs Ministry today said it has started a new online community on Local Circles, a social networking site, to encourage consumers to discuss and give inputs related to MRP (maximum retail price).
The inputs on MRP and enforcement of weights and measures under the Legal Metrology Act will help resolve common issues and also frame new policies, it added.
The new online community has been initiated after seeing the success of the existing community 'Connected Consumers', which was started on a pilot basis in December 2016. Over 50,000 consumers are connected on this platform, it added. The ministry said this community has "rapidly grown to this size".
"Via the community, consumers are raising issues as well as collectively identifying specific solutions to those issues. Solutions identified by consumers are being evaluated by the Department of Consumer Affairs and many of them are taken as inputs for policy making," it added.
Some of the key consumer inputs received so far include removal of service charge or making it optional and giving the consumer as option to fill it in the invoice based on experience.
Among others include making display of MRP information mandatory for products sold on e-Commerce sites, making MRP mandatory on all medical devices, solutions to lower consumer and merchant charges on debit and credit card transactions, as well as solutions to prohibit sales of products above MRP and ending dual MRP for water, it added.

Amazon is still not displaying mrp on it's products on the online platform. Are online selling platforms exempted from displaying mrp on the product and then giving so called discounted price? more

The idea of formation of the Local Circles engaging people from different parts of the country with different backgrounds and expertise to invite attention of the government/authorities towards various burning issues our nation & societies are facing to-day, with suggestions of probable solutions, has already proved to be a revolution by compelling the concerned to act. Involving more & more people and covering the left out areas by the circles with active participation of the members by offering their valuable comments/suggestions will definitely help in adding more & more feathers in its cap. more
Jul 07
I find the ranking or points allotted for useful comments by local circles are not correct. There is an anomaly in totalling the points. I request this may be corrected. more
Jul 07
My concern is that if we have many Circles/sites for each department/ activity, then a consumer has to pitch his claims many times. One Consumer Care Circle should work for all Departments. Please remember that the Seller/Department are also consumers somewhere else. It is a connected society. more
