In India, a brand can charge for a shopping bag if it's offered as an optional purchase. The Consumer Protection Act does not prohibit charging for bags if they are not essential for the purchase. However, if the bag is branded and advertised, the cost should be reasonable. It's important that the consumer is given an option not to buy it.
