We are pleased to share with you that the Department of Consumer Affairs has issued the new attached guidelines yesterday.

You are welcome to save them in your mobile phone and share with your contacts so the same reaches every citizen.

While we will continue to pursue the cause of abolishing service charge, the attached is a good interim step till that happens. more

The frequent hotel goers should have the following in their whats app : Govrnment's GUIDELINES ON FAIR TRADE PRACTICES RELATED TO CHARGING OF SERVICE CHARGE FROM CONSUMERS BY HOTELS/RESTAURANTS [The order : No. J- 24/9/2014-CPU(pt.)] The link :Service_Charge_Guidelines-Apr_21___20170422113739___.pdf___20170422113739___ egshWe should g. And the ministers interview reported in the media. I have them both in my whats app , am passing on to friends and requesting them to pass on . If any one wants the the 2 I can send by mail or whats app so that the message can be carried all over the country. Jai Hind more  
Kaushikk D. Vyas Ji, It is true that many would be in favor of paying the service charges to the restaurant and hotels. Some points I would like to add: As per Sales Tax rules, the 40% of the food bill is towards service and hence service tax is charged on 40% OF THE FOOD BILL. Hence any additional service charge by way of tip is amounting to doubling. The problem come up when the diners do not wish to pay service charges for number of reasons, the prominent being the poor service and the charging of fixed percentage decided by the service provider. Let those people pay who wish to pay but the people who do not wish to pay should not be compelled. Incidentally I have brought out such unethical business practices of restaurant and hotels on 13th December 2012 on my blog, the link of final article summarising previous article is: http://skvirmani-jagograhak.blogspot.in/2017/04/unfair-business-practices-of-hotels-and.html more  
It seems all our HON. MEMBERS have lot of symphathy for the restarurnets owners and their srtaff, and it is clearly understood taht all have accepted to pay it in one or the other form . soem one said restaurnetnts should give details of their food ost and so on so forth, Do all our members ever know or assked about the DYNAMIC PRICE MECHANISM OF PETROL, DIESEL , GAS PRICES, BY WHICH FORMULA SUCH CHARGES ARE CHANGING EVERY NOW AND THEN? WHAT I THAT FORMULA BY WHICH THE AIR LINES CHAE AIR FARE ? When the govt taht we all elect, if they don't show any transparency in such price mechanism how can w expect any restaurent owner to be so transprent about their food chrges taht they serve? Jai Hind more  
More importantly, insist the restaurants and hotels to accept digital money, before giving us the choice to pay tips. Does the government propose a euphemism for “tips” through this guideline? In future, does the government plan to make “tips” mandatory to offload the salary from the responsibility of the hotel management? more
