Corruption is inevitable in nature around the world, and it plays a prime reason in the mishandling of goods and cash. Due to the increased frequency of mishandling of goods, there was an act passed in 2013 called the Companies Act, which, under section 241 - 246, helps or enables to reclaim the goods that have been lost, expired, or damaged. This lessens the burden of both the makers as well as the sources that procured it.

It is also important to educate people and train and bring anti-corruption laws to prevent this mishandling.
