The view of the Commissioner was that in order to claim classification under Entry 8539.90, it was mandatory to mention the MRP on the pack of bulb which was not mentioned by the respondent in the instant case. For this purpose, the Commissioner referred to Note 7A of Chapter 85 which reads as follows :- For the purpose of the Chapter, the expression retail sale price has the meaning assigned to it in Section 4A of Central Excise Act, 1944 (1 of 1944). 5.

As we have already pointed out above, in the present case, Rule 34 exempts the respondent from mentioning the MRP on the packages, the aforesaid judgment would be of no assistance to the Revenue. We are also of the opinion that Section 4A in its wholesome form would not be applied in its entirety in cut and paste form.
