Consumer Forum stated that the Supermarket Charging Cost for carrying bags with Company Logo is an ‘Unfair Trade Practice’.

A complaint was filed by a law student Akash Kumar in the consumer commission stating that the ‘More Mega’ was selling plastic bags having their company logo due to which, they are using the complainants as tool of their advertisements that leads to adoption of unfair trade practice apart from deceptive nature of services and committal of spurious acts that should be highly objectionable.

The commission held that disclosing the price of carry bags at the payment counter amounts to the un-fair practice. The Commission directed to provide free carry bags to all customers if in case they printed their company logo on their carry bags.

The commission also directed the company to pay Rs 15,000 as compensation to the Complaint for collecting fees for company logo carry bags from him.
