M.R.P.is the Maximum Retail Price that can be charged but in a competitive world there are many reputed shops who are passing on some of their earnngs and thus charge a few%age below the M.R.P. Medicines should be bought only for actual consumption for maximum 1 or 2 months. Normally all medicines under normal storage condition have shelf life exceeding 1 or 2 years. The Chemists Shop also normally do not stock more than his sales requirements. If a medicine which he has in hs shelf has a remaining 30% shelf life there is no need for him to sell it at a special discount. Normally Pharma Companies also reimburse them for the normal remnant stocks if there is a Drastic Price reductions. This in fact benefits the Chemists. more
