b) Example: Maximum Retail Price Rs.301.55.

c) The currency value should be followed by a decimal.

You can choose your own way to print the label, some sellers think that they need to spend money on label printers but it’s not like that you can use your existing printer. In my next blog, I’ll discuss printing label.
