Jaipur grocery store ordered to pay Rs 10,000 in compensation for rounding off customer's bill by 50 paise

A Jaipur shop's decision to round up a customer's bill by just 50 paise has cost them dearly. The Rajasthan State Consumer Commission ruled this an unfair trade practice and deficiency in service. The shop was ordered to pay the consumer Rs 10,000 in compensation for the unauthorized charge and rude behavior, emphasizing that even small amounts cannot be arbitrarily added to bills.
