The revised prices must reflect GST changes only. The old MRP must remain visible, Union Minister Pralhad Joshi says.
The government has allowed manufacturers, packaging firms and importers to change MRP on unsold stock to reflect the new GST rates, until 31 December 2025 or until stocks last—whichever comes earlier.
“The revised prices must reflect GST changes only. The old MRP must remain visible,” Pralhad Joshi, the union minister for consumer affairs, food and public distribution, said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
“Any increase or decrease in prices can only match the tax change,” he said. “Companies must inform consumers through ads and public notices.”
“This measure ensures transparency and protects consumer interests.”
This is a developing story.
