Hence, they sometimes do not bat an eye when customer demands for their regular water. Many customers put it in their pipe and smoke it, but some take the matters forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a recent event, a customer during his visit to a Hyderabad restaurant requested for &#8220;complimentary&#8221; regular water due to an allergy to plastic materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, he was denied the same and also was levied the service charges. When he took it to the consumer commission, he won a \u20b95,000 compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission-III of Hyderabad, directed the Jubilee Hills based restaurant to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/business\/hyderabad-eatery-refuses-to-give-customer-free-water-ordered-to-pay-rs-5000-101712729486101.html#:~:text=Recounting%20the%20experience%2C%20the%20customer,water%20and%20levied%20service%20charges\">compensate<\/a> \u20b95,000 within 45 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recounting the Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reciting the experience at ITLU restaurant in CBI colony, the customer said that he was denied &#8220;complimentary&#8221; regular water which he requested due to an allergy to plastic materials. Following which, he had to purchase restaurant&#8217;s own labelled 500-ml water bottle for \u20b950.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, as per the customer, the restaurant levied service charges amounting to \u20b931.50 and a 5% CGST and SGST on the bill which was \u20b9630, inflating it to \u20b9695.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following this, the customer moved to the commission which then directed the restaurant to refund the service charge along with the GST and compensate the customer with \u20b95,000.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The litigation costs amounting to \u20b91,000 were also asked to be covered by the restaurant in 45 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, Telangana government&#8217;s MA&amp;UD department mandated last year that all hotels, restaurants, and eateries under the GHMC&#8217;s jurisdiction have to provide purified water for free and bottled water at the MRP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/trending\/social-relevance\/no-free-water-hyderabad-restaurant-fined-rs-5000-632057.html\">Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a growing trend or should we say already adopted one in the restaurant industry when it comes to bottled water.
