Selling car above the actual price is unfair trade practice- says NCDRC

The National Consumer Commission has said that it is not a legal trade practice to sell cars above the actual price. The Commission comprises of Justice Justice K S Gupta and Justice R K Batta. The authorized car dealers have received an order from the state forum to pay Rs 30,000 to a person for selling the vehicle above the price mentioned in the bill.

The commission has said that there is no other way to hide the actual price of the car to be sold. The petitioner had misrepresented that ex-showroom price of the vehicles and charging Rs. 30,000 extra on the billing price.

Earlier, Kamal Auto Hyundai from Kota had a plea to avoid such unfair trade rule. This has been ordered by the Rajasthan State Consumer Commission order to pay Rs 30,000 to a buyer with interest.

But the dealer had applied against the ruling and now the Commission is too agreeing on the issue.

The Commission has said that there must not be any misrepresentation of the price demanded and the actual one. It should be clear and transparent.
