Yes please, as per the provisions of packaging coomodities rules under legal metrology act, any item which is sold in packaged condition should have a label containing certain pre-printed details.  The details are name of the item, quantity, MRP inclusive of taxes, month and year of manufacture, manufacturer name, customer care details.

There is no other way except to pay the compounding fees of Rs. 2,500/-.  You would have to comply the provisions of Legal Meterology Act read with Rules.
