Times Of India — TOI vendor charging more than printed rate

Address:

New Delhi, Delhi

Hello, I am resident of Govindpuri, New Delhi. Near Gali No.10 Govindpuri, there is a vendor who sells various newspapers. In first week of July'2015, i went their to purchase TOI. He took Rs. 5/- instead of Rs. 4.50/-. Generally other vendors gives 50 paise or some toffee (if they don't have 50 paise). He refused to give me 50 paise or toffee. I argued alot but he ignored me. Now on 29 July 2015, i again went to his shop to buy TOI, again he starts arguing with me instead of returning money. He used abusive language. He said do whatever u want to do. There are lots of people like u comes daily to meet my father. But no one can harm us. He said either you give me 50 paise or 5/- and take this newspaper. but i did not have 50 paise. But he should be keep some 50 paise toffee for this purpose. My issue is that i think he is charging more than printed price in every item he is selling. Now, if he sells a TOI 20 people in day, then he is in a profit of extra Rs. 10/- which is quit wrong. So, my only request is to take some action against these types of mis behaved vendors and stop giving them charge to distribute TOI or other papers. I am telling you this as a consumer. So If, u can not do this, then at least tell me very clearly. I will solve this problem from my own. Because i am from Consumer Affairs and i know how to tackle these types of situation. I will wait for your response. My emailid- [protected]@gmail.com
