According to the law, he is required to state prominently during the sale of each good that "Returned goods will not be accepted" or anything to that extent. In Addition, he should have a sign up behind the counter (as well as in other prominent parts of the store - shelves, walls, etc.) stating the same. The Sign should be 'prominent' (LARGE font - 200pt font) and should read in English (bold uppercase text), Hindi and the local language for that area
