Packaged items to display price per unit
Starting Monday, manufacturers and importers of packaged items must mention the price per unit in addition to the overall MRP on packets. They are also required to mention the month and year of manufacturing. The new rule eliminates the option to mention the month and year of 'pre-packed or imported'. The unit price per kg or per litre must be mentioned for items weighing more than a kg or litre, and per gram or millilitre for items weighing less than a kg or litre. Packed items with more than one unit, like pencils or pens, must also mention the price per piece. The consumer affairs ministry has removed the 'specified quantities' norms for packaging for 19 types of items, giving manufacturers the freedom to decide quantities.
