Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the legality of service tax on restaurant bills. It explains that while GST has replaced service tax on most items, service tax may still apply to alcoholic beverages as they are outside the GST's scope. The thread also distinguishes between mandatory service tax and optional service charges.

GST is applicable on all other items except liqour...

But restaurant also charge .... SERVICE CHARGES .... some times...

Service tax is migrated to gst. service charges are optional.
If services are for Alcoholic Liquor for human consumption then restaurant will still charge Service tax as Gst is not applicable on that.
Liquor does not fall within the purview of gst. You are wrong.
