New Delhi: Compliance of the regulations for display of maximum retail price (MRP) of products by e-commerce platforms has improved, according to a LocalCircles survey.
Around 65 per cent of the respondents, who shopped online in the last three months said that e-commerce platforms are now displaying MRP, while the rest 35 per cent said that they could not find the MRP details.
“The comparison shows that the MRP display compliance has increased on e-commerce platforms in the last few months. In the survey conducted last year, 44 per cent consumers had said that ecommerce sites were not complying with the MRP display rule on the platforms.
“This number has reduced to 35 per cent in this year’s survey, showing some improvement,” it said.
A LocalCircles statement said that sellers on most large ecommerce platforms are now compliant on the MRP display rule.
The Department of Consumer Affairs implemented the Packaged Commodity Rules 2017 on January 1, 2018 and mandated the display of MRP of every product on all ecommerce sites operating in India.
