If your business uses weighing scales or measuring instruments for buying or selling goods, it is mandatory by law to have them stamped and verified by the Weights & Measures Department. This ensures accuracy and compliance under the Legal Metrology Act, 2009.

Why Stamping Matters:

  • Ensures fair trade practices

  • Builds customer trust

  • Mandatory for commercial use

  • Protects against legal penalties
