FAQ :
The FAQ-4 clarifies the procedures for revising retail prices of pre-packaged commodities after the GST 2.0 rate cuts, which are effective from September 22, 2025.
Yes, manufacturers, packers, and importers may voluntarily affix an additional revised price sticker or stamp on unsold stock manufactured before September 22, 2025, as long as the original MRP is still visible.
No, the earlier requirement to publish revised prices in two newspapers has been waived off.
Businesses must issue circulars detailing the revised prices to wholesale dealers and retailers. Copies of these circulars must also be sent to the Director of Legal Metrology (Central Government) and Controllers of Legal Metrology in all States and UTs.
Entities must ensure that the revised Maximum Retail Prices (MRPs) are correctly reflected at the retailer level and immediately sensitise dealers, retailers, and consumers about the changes through various communication channels.
