Whether you buy clothes from any shop, in most shops you have to pay for the carry bag charges.There are only a few shops that do not take money.Earlier every shop used to give carry bags for free, but why not now?Retailers argue that cloth bags are more expensive than plastic bags, so they cannot give these bags for free.At the same time, the logic of the customers is that the shop which is selling the goods, the bag should also be given to the shop to carry it.Even a customer complained in the consumer forum citing the Sales of Goods Act 1930 that it is the responsibility of the shop to deliver the goods in case they are delivered.At the same time, some people argue that when the company is advertising itself on the bag, then why is it taking money from the customer for it?Here the biggest question arises that who is right after all?PM Modi had said in his speech (Narendra Modi Speech on Plastic Management) that shopkeepers should keep bags to sell with them, then the consumer forum fined retailers like Big Bazaar and Dominos for selling the bag. Why putThen what are the rules and regulations about Carry Bags?In the latest case, the consumer forum has imposed a fine of Rs 15,000 on Big Bazaar after complaints from Chandigarh Sector-48 resident Bhawna Gupta, Sector-47 resident Chetan Goyal and Mohali resident Tanu Malik.Along with this, the three customers have been ordered to pay Rs 100-100 as compensation and Rs 1100-1100 as case expenses.Let us tell you that Big Bazaar had given them a carry bag for Rs 12-18, while the customers at the bill counter said that it is illegal to take the money of the carry bag.
