Introduction
\nA maximum retail price (MRP) is a manufacturer calculated price that is the highest price that can be charged for a product sold in India. However, retailers may choose to sell products for less than the MRP. MRP differs from systems using a recommended retail price because in those systems the price calculated by the manufacturer is only a recommendation, not enforceable by law.
\nAll retail products in India must be marked with MRP. Retailers cannot charge customers over the MRP. Some retailers may charge slightly below MRP to draw more customers to their stores. In some remote areas, tourist spots, and in situations where a product is difficult to obtain, consumers are often charged illegally over the MRP.
\nMRP includes GST
