Maurya, Patna??

Yes @ots14

A soldier who sacrifice his life for unknown people. Who leaves his family to protect our families. Who stand in -20 degree day and night.
Who puts his nation first before his life.

And on the other hand a businessmen who does not even have the guts to pay the proper income tax. I have seen businessmen with 5+ cr income filing return not more than 5 lakh (+ criticising India ke is desh ka kuch ni ho skta).

Which so called 'courage' you were talking about ?

Even Dimers like us spend our precious time on sites like DD to LOOT rs.1..2..5...10 or 20 via various cashback and discounts...whereas these Restaurants and Businessman LOOT crores from us in a flash...

Carrying your own mineral water is allowed in almost all restaurants

Use the hotels for rooms only, never use their room service, restaurant unless it is included in your hotel bill complementary then use it fully. Use the rooms and eat outside. If at all must have to eat in the hotel always double check the menu prices, water is mentioned as per MRP then order or best carry your water. I have not seen anyone restricting carrying water.

Yes. They have different with high MRP, also mentioned specially packaged, not to be sold to Retail.

One of my friend said, in the same restaurant they are charging Rs.190 for Pepsi can with MRP. Rs.40

fine isliye bola, ki company ki taraf se printed hai MRP. so, usme kuch nhi kar sakte, but koi MRP se 3x zyda me beche toh phir kya fayda, jaago grahak jaago wale AD ka.

bro try your luck on https://consumerhelpline.gov.i... anyway, they did not charge you only Rs. 55

they charge you Rs. 55 + 18% Gst + 2% Sct = Rs. 66

we didn’t fight whole thing in court but many loopholes there like selling above mrp and charging gst on that already mrp includes gst as per my knowledge so this point creates confusion. now on the name of service charge court allow but in this bill they added two times service charge one direct second indirect is this legal? and latest regulation of government say if Customer want to pay Service charge then they give but they forcefully not take it.

Just leave negative review in Google maps for the restaurant. Thats the maximum you can do as revenge.

Otherwise share the hotel google link here. Dimers can attack with bunch of negative reviews 💪🏼

Great Idea !! Just write about water bottle pricing...

https://maps.app.goo.gl/4mM52Rv8dRm...S8

Some questions here..

1. Hon. SC stated about ambience and service we enjoy. So, why it's adding specific to packaged water(mrp). It should be added to whole bill. But here is the catch, what'll be the name then? Service charge, but issue of service charge is in Hon. SC. Till today, customer have to pay service charge as new CCPA guidelines are stayed now.

2.If the bottled water is being served to you within a restaurant premise, in a glass, and is/or temperature conditioned, then there is a service being provided, and the restaurant is at liberty to charge over and above the MRP. However, if you are purchasing the bottle of water from over the counter, or at a departmental store then they cannot over-charge you.” is it what hon. supreme court meant!?
If this is correct, it's under reasonable classification for taking extra amount. @kool

@RohitKrOfficial that "forcefully not take it" part is stayed now.

@maddydilip @Subhodayam this restaurant will not affected by negative review at all.  Maurya is brand. (Just POV) Also, @getready mentioned earlier it's not illegal yet.
OP have some remedies:

• Consumer Helpline (not much hope)

• GOI (but why parliament will come with the bill which seems to be against the corporates and Businesses)

• Hon. SC/Highcourt of Patna

• Some NGO/Social Movement

One more thing to what's definition of hotel/restaurant in eyes of law is important. Not every htl/rstrnt can levy extra charges. 

@quantum I didn't know much about these pricing, so in curiosity I asked you all. And that's true we can't do anything for such a reputed branded restaurant.

Partially agreed @kool , can't do by putting review in bad faith. More ways mentioned and others welcomed. 

There is nothing new or illegal or loot from their side and it is foolish to even think about this as the charges are being asked to pay not only for water it was also for the cleanliness/comfort/waiter/environment/royal decorating. If u have a problem then simply buy from the roadside shop they will give u the same bottle at mrp cost.

According to that roadside momos cost only ₹50 per plate without CGST, SCT, SGT.

Kinley or Bisleri?

Btw its not even 55.. 55 + 20% tax

GST for Food is 5% right? here they have charged 20% ???? How come?

@ruleyourlife

• Restaurants within hotels (Where room tariff/rate is more than or equal to Rs 7,500): 18% GST
• Normal/composite outdoor catering within hotels* (Where room tariff/rate is more than or equal to Rs 7,500): 18% GST

food and beverages are getting costlier day by day especially at airports, food courts and malls.

normal restaurants also charges a big amount for food.

the only low cost option is to have food made at home...

1L water for Rs 55 is acceptable compared to paying Rs 250 for a coffee at airport

Dont go to such hotels and discourage every one soon they will have to sell for lower

This mark-up has been there for ages in hotels/restaurants. It is called establishment charges.

However, if you want to complain, Google Rahul Bose Banana and decide for yourself.

Posting a negative review does not affect the restaurant it just increases it's view posting something like it does not exist is the revenge that the restaurant owner will not forget
