Why no MRP Compliance on stock post GST
Retailers are saying now that post the roll-out of the GST, there has been a downward trend in prices of products as far as new stock is concerned. However, as we still have three-five months of old stock which belongs to the pre-GST regime, the larger impact would be seen once the old stock gets completely replaced by new items,” said CEO of Big Bazaar.

Having gone through each of the comments, I, as a consumer myself, retired submit this for your consideration; it is impossible for any manufacturer to overnight or within one month or two, to reach all the stocks that have been sent to the retailers all over India. Remember that the largest marketing /distribution system is in India (than the rest of the world - you can check on the internet. And pushing the stocks is also is a very logistical nightmare. That goods and services reach every nook and corner. Therefore, only a limited amount of stocks can be recalled/pasted with new prices. I have personally have seen these stickers in a remote village in TN (I hail from Delhi though). It is a misconception that all manufacturers and sellers are cheating you. The best way is then DON'T BUY FROM THEM. I DON'T BUY WHEN I FIND A DIFFERENCE. Let's be practical; how many peope/employees are in the various departments ? Very small I should say given the market place size. more
