Charging Gst in excess of MRP

13 March 2018

Can any shop or mall charge extra GST on a product which is on buy one get one free offer.
For eg : a product is of MRP Rs. 1899/-( inclusive of all taxes), and the product is on buy one get one free offer.
But when anyone purchase it they charge Rs. 1994/-.
It is valid to charge extra GST on lieu of buy one get one free offer.

I think we should compare 1994 with combined MRP of 3798...
so it is valid

But the product is already inclusive of taxes

No...
It's not valid....

The concept is Buy one Get one free. If free then cost not applicable for the Free goods... Rate only for the sale item...

MRP is the last price which can be charged by a shopkeeper/mall/retailers from the Customer. MRP is inclusive of GST.
There is no GST on MRP.
I would suggest you to take an action against the shopkeeper/mall by complaining to the National Anti Profiteering Authority.

What is thunder ata amount?? Is it really GST amount?? Are you sure? If yes then they can not charge GST... It is invalid as well as against law... But they can sale two items combined for more than MRP of one product... But still under head "By one get one free" it is not valid....
