Who is packer ?

Any person or a firm, which pre-packs any commodity whether in any bottle, tin, wrapper or otherwise in units suitable for sale, is a Packer. Packer/Manufacturer/Importer need to register themselves with the Department through the District Assistant Controller (Flying Squad) office.

Once the Sale price (MRP) is printed on a package, no one including the packer/Manufacturer is permitted to alter it to a high rate. No one is permitted to sell a pre packaged commodity at a price higher than the MRP printed on a package. Overcharging is an offence, which shall be punished with a fine of Rs. Two thousand.
