Glad government has taken action.

Many have said if you have no money better use OYO. They failed to understand it was not about the costly things but a 6rs banana was being charged absurdly.

They haven't taken action on the hotel for the absurd pricing of the banana. Instead the taxation dept have levied fine for charging tax on an exempted item. Govt. not worried about the 375₹ for 2 bananas but the 60 odd rupees charged as tax.

Now, Rahul Bose reaction be like

Noteworthy to think - If I order a fruit plate in any restaurant, should it be exempt from GST? Did we ever bother to check this w.r.t unprocessed foods that we may be getting at restaurants?

Water itself costs 70 rupees in some 3 star hotels. Print price is just 20 rupees though. If you ask they say GST and hotel charges as if they are doing purification of it in between!!!
