The two companies did not mark revised rates on their products after the central government slashed GST slab on such items from 28 percent to 18 percent. It was found that after the reduction of tax slab from 28 percent to 18 percent, both the C&F conducted the sale of wall putty with tax slab of 18 percent and issued the sale bill to dealers but reduced MRP for the benefits of consumers was not marked on the wall putty bags, the spokesman said. The Centre has issued directions that all such pre-packed commodities with reduced GST slab must bear revised MRP so that consumers can avail the benefit of tax reduction.
