No. The MRP printed on a pre-packaged commodity is the maximum retail price inclusive of all taxes, including GST. Under the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011, a retailer cannot charge more than the printed MRP, so GST cannot be added on top of it.
On the invoice, the selling price can be at or below the MRP, and the GST is worked out as the tax portion contained within that price. Confirm any special case, such as items without a printed MRP, with your CA or advisor.
