Hope the New Year brings us better business this festive season. We, at Hotel and Restaurant Association Western India (HRAWI), are constantly persuading the government towards a common vision for ease of doing business. We have represented our case for 5% G .S .T on our trade, to the Central Government. We understand that G.S.T rate slabs for each sector will be determined by a group of committee of secretaries. We request you all, to propagate our goal of reasonable GST, among your contacts, with representatives of the government. The Hotel and Restaurant Association of Western India (HRAWI), in a bid to remove any ambiguity over selling water, aerated drinks and similar commodities above the Maximum Retail Price (MRP), has issued a circular to its members clarifying that hotels and restaurants could continue to sell the same above the MRP. However, if such commodities are being sold over the counter then it is advised that they be sold at MRP only. We hope you all enjoy this festive season! We look forward to your continued support, feedback and participation. n With Best Regards, Dilip Datwani President HRAWI November 2016 4 CONTENTS PUBLISHER & EDITOR IN CHIEF HRISHIKESH P. PATIL
