Kathmandu: In a recent statement, the Department of Commerce Supplies and Consumer Protection (DoCSCP) has emphasized that food and beverages sold in theatres must not exceed the Maximum Retail Price (MRP) indicated on their labels.

This directive applies to all sealed food and beverage packets, including bottled drinks such as water and juice.

The DoCSCP has warned that any violation of this pricing regulation could result in legal action under existing laws. Consumers are encouraged to report instances of overcharging to ensure compliance and protect their rights.
