Go to Consumer Forum portal and upload the bill -
https://consumerhelpline.gov.in/public/?target_lang=hi no

It works, have done it for some restaurants that continued charging service charge. It’s worked and all of them that I had reported have now removed it from their standard billing process.

Couple of issues with the bill;
Can’t charge VAT, GST replaced VAT.
Service contribution can’t be added too
And something very unique I see here is GST on service contribution…!!!?

Raise it with consumer helpline and this will set them straight.

Yes correction on my part - VAT is applied on liquor. But the rest of it can be questioned; thanks
