[Resolved]  Soft Drinks — Charging Beyond MRP

Address:

Pune, Maharashtra

Hi all, This is a country where 3% of the citizens are taxed to run the economy of the country and then the taxed money is converted into black money too!! did not understand??
Just think of this-- not one single retailer in the country sells cold drinks at MRP. Infact MRP is a silly joke which just depicts the pitiable condition of the country's law making abilities.

Retailers just make up their mood to charge some extra money from the consumer for delivering the cold drink. If the weather is hot, the extra charges on a 1 lit bottle can go beyond 15 Rs per bottle, where the MRP is Rs35! with a minimum of Rs5 which a good and decent retailer would charge.
What happens to this 15 rs? Is this not generation of black money? If questioned and opposed, they simply return you the money and take back the bottle!
Same is the case with any brand of Liquor!
Same is the case with milk!
Same is the case with newspaper vendors!
Same is the case with vendors on the railway station!
Same is the case with vendors in airports!

This can be so rampant only if the tax authorities are hand in glove with the entire chain.

Just a food for thought: If the estimated industry for soft drinks in india is around Rs10000 Cr and if a bottle csting MRP of 35 is charged Rs15 extra, then the black money generation only in this estimated soft drinks market would be approx Rs4286 cr!! Think about the other industries too!!

Has this country lost control on how it is to be run? Or are the so called brainy IAS and IPS using their brain power to cultivate this black money??

None of such retailers give a tax invoice, they give an estimate and most of them dont even give that! how does anyone substantiate the claim too??

Mythology say we have few crore Gods....! Not one of them seem to be coming forward to help the honest and desperate tax payer who first pay the tax and then tastes his money!
