Following the Retailers Association of India's (RAI) submission regarding changes to GST rates, the Legal Metrology Department has issued a notification allowing for revised Maximum Retail Prices (MRPs) to be displayed on unsold stock. The new GST rates will go into effect on September 22, 2025.

RAI, which represents 14,000 member establishments and nearly 700,000 retail stores, wrote to the Department of Legal Metrology about the recent implementation of GST 2.0. The new rates require adjustments to the MRP of many pre-packaged goods that are already in stock.
