All goods must display country of origin, MRP, key details

All goods sold in India, including those purchased through e-commerce platforms, will be required to display key details such as the Country of Origin, Maximum Retail Price (MRP), and manufacturing and expiry dates, failing which they will attract a penalty of up to Rs 5,000, Consumer Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi said on Tuesday.

In a social media post, the minister said the move is aimed at enhancing consumer awareness and ensuring greater transparency in the marketplace. He added that the government is proposing new filters that will make it easier for consumers to access this information while shopping.
