Shopkeer ki marzi nahi chalegi #shopping #finance #education #law

The advisory emphasizes that shopkeepers should not compel customers to provide their personal contact details, particularly mobile numbers, when generating bills. While it is not mandatory for customers in India to share their mobile numbers with retailers for billing purposes, many customers have expressed annoyance at being repeatedly asked for this information.

➡️The government’s advisory serves as a response to these concerns, acknowledging the rising incidence of online scams conducted through mobile phone and WhatsApp messages.

🔸Disclosing personal mobile numbers can potentially expose individuals to scammers who exploit such information. By taking this step, the government aims to protect consumer privacy and enhance security for customers.

- Consumer Affairs Secretary, Rohit Kumar Singh, emphasized that such practices are deemed unfair and restrictive under the Consumer Protection Act.
