While the oil is listed at a hefty price of Rs. 925 on Flipkart Minutes, it is available for purchase at a significantly lower price of Rs. 349 on the regular Flipkart platform.

No matter which platform you sell, you can't list prices more than MRP. It is strictly illegal.

They aren't really cheating, you have the option to buy from either platforms since flipkart is treating minutes differently from the regular eCommerce.

So is it okay to show different MRP for the same product?

Minutes = Time. Time = Money

So you pay more by that logic

No, not more than MRP. They can add anything they want as part of convenience fee.

Even the official website is showing MRP of 475/-

There is no mention of MRP. It is just a price which includes MRP+ convenience fees. I know this is not a way one should sell products, but our laws are weak, nothing we can do about it.

MRP is mentioned as 475 on the seller official website. What is the extra 450 charged here should be clearly mentioned.

Just a listing error.
