Hi,

I went for a dinner to Oye Amritsar situated in Kormangla. Its a new branch of this chain resturant. When i saw my bill, I was surprised a I was charged almost 20% extra on my bills, when I dig down I found that:

bill amount+VAT(12.50)+service charges(7.50%) was cahrged to me. I spoke to the cashier and asked him to clarify, he said that this applicable by law and charged by all resturants and then resturant manager pitched in, he said that this is applicable to only few resturants.

I was suprised to see two different statments by two people of same resturant. I couldn't do much as I was not aware if this is a law or not.

can anyone in this forum educate me if this is a law, to charge VAT + service charges to consumer or else? Because I am really astonished to see this and want to raise my voice as I am already living in one of the most expensive city of Inda+paying tax+paying VAT+services charges?

Thanks
