Here’s what happened. I went to BRT from KTM for my dashain-tihar vacation and during my 1-month break, I ate countless fast foods and Kurkure(my favourite) was one of them. Now that I am returning to KTM I just realised that our MRP laws and not so strictly enforced in these matters. In the packaging of Indian Kurkure, which is made of plain corn and is way better than ours(my taste),
there was a “20 INR” printed on the top left corner
which meant that MRP should be INR 20 = NRS 36 including tax and transport and all ( which I don’t see how that is my problem but still..), it should be 40 because it is MRP for us consumers and not the rate at which retailers buy so they have more or less margin added in that 40 rs. Regardless law doesn’t hear what people have to say right? Either you increase your MRP or enforce them properly! Either way, I just wanted to raise this topic to see how MRP works and if is It ok for retailers to just take around 40% margin (assuming) just like that. It does matter since we deal with this in our everyday lives.

 not enforced in NEPAL properly??){kind=link}
Yeah, not enforced properly, especially in places where there is very less competition (rural areas). However, enforced very well in renowned supermarkets and city areas. But in India manufactured goods, sometimes there tends to be a higher cost even in these supermarkets maybe due to import duty. Depends.
Not at all. You pay whatever they ask for or fuck off. That’s how my experience is.
In last couple of weeks, I have had argument with 4/5 shopkeepers on this matter.
Seen, Rs60 more on MRP😂
The importers are at fault, I talked about same thing with a baje who has a store nearby my house and he says that they can barely get Rs.5 profit from selling one pack.
i don’t think that’s how MRP laws work. not even sure if there are MRP laws.
the free market should determine the price, especially when transportation cost vary wildly across Nepal.
Nepal is a democratic country so people are allowed to sell at whatever they want.
The maid asked her boss, the wife for a raise, and the wife was upset. The wife asked, “Now, Helen, why do you think you deserve a pay increase?”
Helen: “There are three reasons. The first is that I iron better than you.”
Wife: “Who said that?”
Helen: “Your husband.”
Wife: “Oh.”
Helen: “The second reason is that I am a better cook than you.”
Wife: “Who said that?”
Helen: “Your husband.”
Wife: “Oh.”
Helen: “The third reason is that I am better at sex than you.”
Wife: “Did my husband say that as well?”
Helen: “No, the gardener did.”
Wife: “So, how much do you want?”
MRP = Minimum Retail Price, not Maximum

Laws are not enforced properly in Nepal, not just MRP laws.
