Revised MRP label is not mandatory
The Burning issue in the market is Revised MRP label Mandatory or not ? Revised MRP label is not mandatory
Core view: Re-stickering/re-labelling of unsold stock after GST rate cuts is not compulsory; Legal Metrology language says “permitted/allowed,” not “shall.” Pharma-sector communications support this stance.
What’s mandatory: Pass the benefit of GST rate reduction to consumers and revise prices w.e.f. 22-09-2025 through updated price lists and dealer communication
Existing market stock: Optional phased re-stickering (to avoid shortages). NPPA OM (12-09-2025) and CDSCO (11-09-2025) express no-objection/permission, not compulsion.
Operational checklist:
- Update Form V/VI price lists and share with trade.
- Notify distributors/retailers (email/notice/POS).
- Print revised MRP on all new production/shipments after 22-09-2025.
- If you choose to re-sticker old stock, finish within ~3 months in a planned, phased manner.
- Keep records (price lists, communications) to evidence benefit pass-through.
