So far as your statement, "i am carrying the business of books" is concerned, that seems to quite false, as according to your profile, you are just an assistant, not a publisher, distributor or retailer. So, why try to become smart just to hoodwink the experts.
Moreover, your query is of purely academic type, which does not specify your personal problem.
Further to it, the Legal Metrology act is applicable on manufacturing, marketing, and distributing packaged goods with specified weights and measures. The question arises, in what way you want to link bar coding of books with the Legal Metrology Act.
So, your query is just a fake query from every angle.
