Dear Rupali,
Long back, since I served as an Additional Controller of Legal Metrology in Tamil Nadu, lots of changes have occurred. Therefore, I am not aware of the exact procedural formalities obtaining now in various States. As far as I know, as a user of weights and measures, you have to get reverified and stamped all the electronic weighing and measuring instruments and higher denomination instruments such as platform scales once a year and all other items once every two years. If you sell your products in packaged form, you have to obtain a license in this regard. Your packages should only be in the denominations prescribed in the Packaged Commodities Rules in force. They should contain certain statutory declarations such as the name of the commodity, its net contents, maximum sale price, date of expiry in the case of perishable goods, name and address of the manufacturer/packer, email id, customer care contact number, and the like. If you are a manufacturer of weighing and measuring instruments, you have to obtain a license from the Director of Legal Metrology and get your models approved beforehand. It is better to consult your area Inspector of Legal Metrology or State Controller of Legal Metrology for the current procedures and any exemptions, if applicable.
