उत्तर
- Rules and regulations are required in the marketplace to protect consumers.
- Sellers often abdicate responsibility for low-quality products, cheat by weighing out goods, add extra charges beyond the retail price, and sell adulterated/ defective goods.
- Hence, rules and regulations are needed to protect scattered buyers from a few powerful producers who monopolise markets.
- For example, a grocery shop owner might sell expired products and then blame the customer for not checking the expiry date before buying the items.
