Defending the right of restaurants to levy service charge, the Federation of Hotels and Restaurants Association of India on Friday said it will participate in the meeting called by the department of consumer affairs (DoCA) on the issue on June 2. The DoCA discussion follows complaints by customers on the National Consumer Helpline that restaurants impose 5-15% service charge even though it is different from taxes and is in the nature of a tip.
