Charging Rs 5 above cold drink’s MRP costs hotel Rs 1.56 lakh


Worth reading a piece of news.

Charging Rs 5 above cold drink’s MRP costs hotel Rs 1.56 lakh

New Delhi: The apex consumer forum has imposed an exemplary cost of Rs 1.56 lakh on a hotel for charging customers Rs 5.5 above the Maximum Retail Price (MRP) of a soft drink. 

The National Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission imposed the cost reiterating earlier judicial rulings barring hotels and eateries from charging above the MRP.  The ruling came on a plea filed by a Bharuch-based hotel Nyay Mandir, which challenged state commission’s order to pay Rs 6,000 as compensation to complainant Ishwar Lal Desai. He had approached the forum for having been charged Rs 18 for beverage despite its MRP being only Rs 12.50. Asking the hotel to pay Rs 6,000 to the complainant, the forum ordered the hotel to pay an additional Rs 1.50 lakh to consumer welfare fund.

Request you to be very careful

Brands always mean something : Richard Branson

Small but Nice Article by Richard Branson

Of the top 20 brands in the world, 19 ply a well-defined trade. Coca-Cola specializes in soft drinks, Microsoft in computers, Nike in sports shoes and gear. The exception in this list is Virgin—and the fact that we’re worth several billion dollars really bothers people who believe that they know “the rules of business”
