Could some legal luminary specify which Law / Act / Rule / Regulation (With Act / Regulation Name and Para Number please) is violated by charging more than the MRP ?

Do you think this will really help? Every restaurant in Mumbai charges 10% service charge although the government has banned it but they impudently charge it. more
