When expiry date is near, at that time we can offer discounts but not after the expiry date. It is Unethical.

Neither. Products which have expired should never be kept on the shelves.

As a consumer, I would never shop at a store where I see any product displayed which have expired.

To avoid this implement smart inventory management & sales promotion in the store.

The answer is NO, but to avoid such situation re-occurring, FIFO should be applied and supervised, every product has a shelf lifespan. If its a slow moving brand, ensure to carryout an offer two months or three months before the expiration date, while a fast moving brand a month or two before it expires that way you can minimize losses. Furthermore, inquire to find solutions to the situation. If the product needs rebranding, or refocusing. There will always be losses, but always try to mitigate it
