2.5 In Chapter 11 of the MRP Rules, Rule 2A states that provisions of the chapter shall apply to pre-packaged commodities except in respect of grains and pulses containing a quantity more than 15 kg. Rule 3 further clarifies that the provisions of this chapter shall apply to packages intended for retail sale and the expression "package", wherever it occurs in this chapter, shall be construed accordingly. Rule 4 mandates that no person shall pre-pack or cause or permit to be pre-packed any commodity for sale, distribution or delivery unless the package in which the commodity is pre-packed bears thereon, or on a label securely affixed thereto, such declarations as are required to be made under these Rules. "Retail sale" has been defined under Rule 2(q) as under:

(d) the month and year in which the commodity is manufactured or pre-packed.

(e) the retail sale price of package;

(f) where the sizes of the commodity contained in the package are relevant, the dimensions of the commodity contained in the package and if the dimensions of the different pieces are different, the dimensions of each such different piece;

(g) such other matters as are specified in these rules.

(2) Where a commodity consists of a number of components and these components are packed in two or more units, for sale as a single commodity, the declaration required to be made under Sub-rule (1) shall appear on the main package and such main package shall also carry information about the other accompanying packages.
