Vishal Mega Mart Subsidiary Faces ₹2 Lakh Penalty

Airplaza Retail Holdings Private Limited, a subsidiary of Vishal Mega Mart Ltd, received an order from the Court of Additional District Magistrate, Rampur, imposing a penalty of ₹2,00,000. The penalty was levied due to a violation of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, after an inspection revealed that a sample of 'Turmeric Powder' was not in compliance with the relevant laws. The penalty includes ₹80,000 on the Store Manager and ₹1,20,000 on the Subsidiary. Vishal Mega Mart plans to recover the penalty amount from the manufacturer and is reviewing the order.
