Label ek vaada hai: Legal Metrology, MRP aur galat label ki shikayat
Namkeen ke packet par likha hai '200 g'. Ghar ke taraazu par tola — packet samet 180 g nikla. Yeh sirf 'thodi kami' hai ya kanoon ka sawaal?
Socho pehle… phir dekho jawab
Kanoon ka sawaal hai. Legal Metrology Act, 2009 aur Packaged Commodities Rules, 2011 kehte hain ki packet par likha wazan, MRP aur banane wale ki jaankari sahi ho. Label ek vaada hai; vaada todna 'unfair trade practice' hai.
Packet par anivarya jaankari (Packaged Commodities Rules, 2011): banane ya pack karne wale ka naam-pata, cheez ka naam, net quantity (wazan ya maatra), banane ki taareekh, MRP (sab tax sahit) aur consumer care ka sampark. MRP se zyada lena saza layak hai. Niyam mein naap ki bahut chhoti chhoot hoti hai, par 20 g ki kami jaanch maangti hai.
Kaun jaanchta hai: har rajya ka Legal Metrology (naap-taul) vibhaag dukaanon ke taraazu aur packet jaanchta hai. Khaane ki suraksha aur nutrition label FSSAI ke niyam se; gunvatta-nishaan BIS se. Teen sansthaayein, ek hi grahak.
Shikayat: pehle bill ke saath company ke consumer care par; phir National Consumer Helpline 1915; phir Consumer Protection Act, 2019 ke tahat District Commission. Kanoon 'unfair trade practice' aur 'deficiency' (seva mein kami) dono par bharpai deta hai.
Cause-effect: agar packet mein chupke se kam maal ho aur koi na jaanche, toh imaandar company bazaar haar jaati hai. Naap-taul ka niyam imaandari ko bazaar mein tikne deta hai.
Ghar pe try karo
Bade ke saath rasoi ke taraazu par 2 band packet tolo. Yaad rakho, khaali packet ka bhi wazan hota hai, isliye 'tola hua' thoda zyada aana chahiye. Table banao: label par net quantity, tola hua wazan, farak.
Wow!
Naap-taul vibhaag dukaan ke taraazu ko jaanch kar us par muhar lagata hai — yaani taraazu bhi pariksha deta hai!
