Coca Cola — why should we pay extra 2-4 Rs on cold drinks?
Sir,In our area there is a shop named as Asmat Milk center which also keep colddrinks. The guy always takes 2-4Rs extra than the mrp on cold drinks and when asked he says that it is cooling charges. I being a citizen and consumer of india think that this is not right. The shop's correct address is Asmat Milk Center, Sai Baba Building, New hall Road , Kurla (W), Mumbai - 70 and mine is 9/2nd floor, Happy Home C.H.S., New Hall Road Kurla (W), Mumbai - 70.
Please do the needfull.
Always ask for a bill/receipt for the product that you are buying. This might help.

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.’’

Cold Drinks — Charging Way above MRP
I purchased Thums Up of MRP Rs 23 but the retailers / railway vendors charging Rs 24 / Rs 25. ie extra charge Rs 02 as cooling charges.Extra charges is not taken by any company its charged by sellers only to get extra profit over profit given by company.
Plz look into it it as in single day many peoples have to extra charge.
Cold Drinks — CHARGES MORE THAN MRP
Charges more then MRPIn Mangaon(ST stand) all the dealers of cold drinks of all brands charge Rs.5-6 extra then MRP charges and sell the cold drinks without bill.When we ask for higher charges they rudely say, "ghyaychay tar ghya nahitar theva saglikade yevdech paise ghetat".
I request you to please provide us a solution.
