POKHARA, Jan 30: The Supreme Court ruled last Wednesday that hotels and restaurants cannot collect 10 percent service charge from customers. After this decision, consumers are hoping that it will be cheaper to go to hotels, restaurants and take any service at an affordable rate. However, it is not likely to be cheaper as expected by consumers.

KATHMANDU, Jan 26: Hotels and restaurants cannot take the 10 percent service charge from now on, with the Supreme Court (SC) on Wednesday issuing a verdict prohibiting the eatery business from taking any payment beyond the menu prices.

KATHMANDU, April 19: The government has restricted hotels and restaurants to operate after 8PM.
