Tamil Nadu Minister for Commercial Taxes and Registration, P. Moorthy, recently revealed that over 15,000 violations of Maximum Retail Price (MRP) rules were reported during the AIADMK regime. The violations were discovered during inspections conducted by officials across the state. The minister highlighted that strict action would be taken against those found guilty of flouting the MRP regulations. The AIADMK government had faced criticism in the past for allegedly failing to curb MRP violations effectively. The revelations by Minister Moorthy have once again brought the issue to the forefront. The enforcement of MRP rules is crucial to protect consumers from being overcharged by retailers. Retailers are required to sell goods at prices not exceeding the MRP, as specified by manufacturers. Failure to comply with these regulations can lead to penalties and legal action. The state government’s commitment to cracking down on MRP violations is aimed at ensuring fair practices in the retail sector. Consumers are encouraged to report any instances of MRP violations to the authorities for prompt action. The government’s efforts to address this issue are part of its larger agenda to promote transparency and accountability in governance.
