Softdrinks & Milk — Is cooling charges charged by shopkeepers valid?

I am writing from Mulund, Mumbai. I have seen that many shopkeepers charge 2 rs as "cooling charges" when they serve you milk / softdrink cold. Isn't it that milk and softdrink are to be served cold/? Isn't it that companies making softdrinks give enough profit to the vendors that includes cooling charges also ? please throw some light on it. Can't we file complaint against this ?

Coca Cola — Price charged beyond the Mrp

The retailers are charging more than the MRP of the product. I purchased a 200 ml Coke - MRP Rs. 8, and was asked to pay Rs. 9. When I questioned him why Re 1 more, the reply was cooling charges. Isn't this cooling cost included in the profit??? And there stood the Coke Salesperson too, and the same reply came from him...

Shopkeepers in mumbai. — Selling over MRP prises

In whole mumbai and Thane, shop keepers are selling Cold drinks in higher prise than MRP,

in Thakur mall, Dhaisar, 1 shopkeeper was charging me 30/- Rs for 500 ml 7 UP where as its MRP was 20/- Rs. when I objected he said, "Lena hai toh lo warna jao".

Then I said ok, give me the bill then, then also he said cold drink ka koi bill vill nahi milta.

Even objecting and fighting with them is not heading for any solution.

Is your soft drink vendor taking you for a cool ride?
Simit Bhagat | TNN (Times of India - 8th May 2010)

Mumbai: How many times have you shelled out more than the MRP on a bottle of soft drink or milk as “cooling’’ charges? Well, if the answer is several times, you can take a cue from residents of Mumbai and Thane, who have lodged a complaint with the state legal metrology department (LMD) against shopkeepers who take consumers for a ride.
Going by the data compiled by the LMD, between April 2009 and March 2010, 53 cases were slapped on shopkeepers, who were found charging more than the Maximum Retail Price (MRP) on soft drink bottles. The department has also booked another 96 of them for “fleecing’’ people buying milk bottles and cartons.
The accused shopkeepers were found violating the Standards of Weights and Measures Rules, 1987. Under the rules, it is an offence to sell a packaged commodity at a rate higher than its MRP and removing any such information or label from the packet. However, the rule does not apply to packaged products sold at restaurants, where the product is served and hence attracts, service charges.
Ankush Dhanvijay, controller of LMD, says, “Many shopkeepers ask consumers to pay extra on cold drink bottles as cooling charges. But it is an offence to sell a packaged commodity, including cold drinks and milk bottles, at a price higher than their MRPs. As many people are not aware of the rules, the shopkeepers exploit them.’’
