BENGALURU: In cases of inability to carry out wedding events at halls or kalyana mantapas due to Covid-19 restrictions, hall/mantapa representatives are liable to refund the advance money paid by customers after deducting 5% as tax, a Bengaluru consumer court ruled.
It made the observation after hearing the case pertaining to a man who had paid Rs 2 lakh to book a hall in the city for his daughter’s wedding. The event, however, couldn’t be conducted due to the night curfew in force in June 2021.
