What are some of the measures taken by the Consumer Affairs Ministry in the Government of India to check cases of profiteering post implementation of GST?

The Consumer Affairs Ministry in the Government of India, vide its letter no. WM-10(31)/2017, dated 04.07.2017, permitted the manufacturers or packers or importers of pre-packaged commodities to affix new MRP labels (after incorporating tax changes due to GST) in addition to existing MRP for three months from 1st Jul to 30th Sept 2017. Similar action was taken after the GST rate reduction in November, 2017 and July, 2018.
