Rules and regulations are required in the marketplace to protect consumers. Sellers often abdicate responsibility for a low-quality product, cheat in weighing out goods, add extra charges over the retail price, and sell adulterated/ defective goods. Hence, rules and regulations are needed to protect the scattered buyers from powerful and fewer producers who monopolise markets. For example, a grocery shop owner might sell expired products, and then blame the customer for not checking the date of expiry before buying the items.

Individual consumers often find themselves in a weak position. Whenever there is a complaint regarding a good or service that had been bought, the seller tries to shift all the responsibility on to the buyer. Their position usually is-"If you did'nt like what you bought, please go elsewhere". As if the seller has no responsibility once a sale is completed. For example- Sometimes traders indulge in unfair trade practices such as when shopkeepers weigh less that they should or when traders add charges that were not mentioned before, or when adultrated/defective goods are sold.

- Rules and regulations are required so that markets function in smooth and just manner. Profit maximization is the prime motive of any business. Rules and regulations ensure that the profit does not come at the cost of the quality of life of the consumer. In our day-to-day life, we can see many instances of food adulteration. The milk seller, the sweet-meat seller, etc. usually adulterate the food items they sell. It is important to stop such practices by enforcing proper rules.
