Section 24 of LMA : Section 24: Verification And Stamping Of Weight Or Measure

Explanation using Example

Imagine a local grocery store owner, Mr. Sharma, who uses a set of electronic weighing scales to measure out grains for his customers. According to Section 24 of The Legal Metrology Act, 2009, Mr. Sharma is required to ensure that his electronic scales are accurate and verified before he uses them for any commercial transactions. To comply with the law, he must take the scales to a designated verification center as specified by the Controller, during the hours mentioned in the Controller's order. There, he will pay the prescribed fee and have his scales checked and certified for accuracy. This ensures that customers are charged fairly based on the correct weight of the grains they purchase.
