Great to see action on complaints
Charged with profiteering to the tune of over Rs 150 crore, the company may soon have to cough up penalties as well as return the amount to consumers, sources said.
The investigation report of the Director General of Anti-Profiteering (DGAP) is likely to be submitted to the apex body National Anti-Profiteering Authority (NAA) this week for a hearing. NAA's final order is expected within three months, sources said. "The company has been found to have profiteered from the tax rate cuts announced by the government for consumers on a wide range of products on November 15, followed by another round of tax cuts in January. The company instead of passing on the benefits of tax cuts to consumers kept the profits to itself. Nearly 100 products were under the scanner," sources said.
Glad to see such offenders being dealt with strictly. more
