Is it legal to charge more than MRP.

It is generally not legal to charge more than the Maximum Retail Price (MRP) for products in India. The MRP is the maximum price at which a product can be sold to consumers, and it includes all applicable taxes. The Legal Metrology Act, 2009 in India regulates the pricing and packaging of products and prohibits charging more than the MRP. However, it's worth noting that discounts or additional charges like service fees may be applied on top of the MRP as long as they are clearly indicated to the consumer. If you have specific concerns or encounter a situation where you believe the MRP is being violated, it's advisable to reach out to the relevant consumer protection authorities or seek legal advice for further assistance.
