Introduction
If your business uses weighing machines for commercial transactions, you are legally obligated to comply with the Legal Metrology Act. This law ensures fairness, transparency, and consumer protection. Non-compliance can result in fines, penalties, or even legal action.
At Shree Shree, we don’t just sell weighing scales—we help businesses across Ahmedabad stay fully compliant with government regulations. In this blog, we explain the ins and outs of legal metrology compliance and how our stamping and calibration services can protect your business.
What Is Legal Metrology?
Legal Metrology is a branch of law that governs measurements and measuring instruments used in trade and commerce. In India, it's regulated by the Legal Metrology Department under the Department of Consumer Affairs.
This law mandates that:
All commercial weighing instruments must be verified and stamped by an authorized official.
Regular recalibration and re-verification are required—typically every 12 months.
Using unverified or tampered equipment can lead to severe penalties.
Who Needs to Comply?
Legal metrology applies to any business that uses a scale for commercial purposes, including:
Grocery shops and kirana stores
Fruit and vegetable vendors
Jewelry stores
Manufacturing units
Courier and logistics companies
Medical clinics and pharmacies
What Happens If You Don’t Comply?
Operating with non-stamped or expired scales can lead to:
Fines up to ₹25,000 for first offenses
Product confiscation
Business license issues
Legal proceedings and repeat violations penalties
Compliance is not optional—it’s essential.
