Can a restaurant sell a product above the MRP price ?
30-Nov-2023 (In Consumer Court Law)
Is it possible for restaurants to sell cool drink like Pepsi above MRP rate at any circumstance? If anyone does like that what can I do to get it in MRP price other than go to some other shops. Where can I complain about that. What all details I should collect for evidence?
Unfortunately, the answer to this question is yes, they can and the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) rules not only mandate that all packed goods should mention the MRP but also specify that such goods cannot be sold at a price higher than that.The Department of Legal Metrology, Union Ministry of Consumer Affairs, in response to a representation from the hospitality sector in 2000 had said that the restaurants and hotels could levy a service charge if you are not sitting in that restaurant to enjoy its ambience and are just buying a bottle of water (or even soft drink) to drink it elsewhere, then the restaurant cannot charge you a price exceeding the MRP ..... u need a copy of the bill and menu card and receipt if paid by card

Yes restaurants can sell beverages at a higher price in view of the recent judgment by the Supreme Court excluding bottled beverages from the purview of legal metrology act.
However if it is just a shop selling these items, then you can collect a bill from the owner to prove your claim.
