This is a query & not a complain against any Hotel.

I am Yogendra Udani from Malad (Mumbai)

On 16.7.2017 (Rs. 2165) & on 6.8.2017 (Rs. 1377) I had been to two different A/c Restaurants with my guest for eating. They charged 18% GST (9% STST +9 %CTST) Break up of the said amounts are Rs. 1835+SGST @ 9% Rs. 165.15 + Rs. 165.15 CGST= Rs. 2165 & Rs. 1167+ Rs. 105.03 +105.03 towards SBST & CGST

I understand that after introduction of GST, hotels are bound to reduce food prices as their previous food prices up to 30.6.2017 are inclusive of VAT/Service tax etc. but my surprice, in both the restaurant, the cashiers tole me that they have neither reduced food prices nor increased food prices ???

It means their existing food prices are as per previous food prices i.e. prior to 30.6.2017 (!!!) means inclusive of old taxes also !!

If it is so... please do the needful to recover the old taxes also collected from customers or order the said restaurants (& also all hotels & restaurants of India) to refund said taxes illegally collected from them on & after 1.7.2017 (anti profiting issue)

Thaking in anticipation
