MRP-based valuation sets excise duty on declared retail sale price after prescribed abatement, not on transaction value. Section 4A mandates MRP-based valuation for notified pre-packed goods: excise duty is charged on the declared retail sale price less a prescribed abatement, ignoring actual transaction price and disallowing separate deductions for freight, local taxes and dealer margins; applicability requires statutory Weights & Measures coverage or government notification, and various exclusions (voluntary MRP, bulk/wholesale supplies, exports, special industrial packs, mixed packs) and confiscation consequences for undeclared or tampered MRPs are specified.
