Sindh Cracks Down on Restaurants Evading Taxes by Refusing Card Payments

The Sindh government has resolved to implement stringent measures against eateries, shopping centers, cafes, and biryani outlets that decline to accept debit/credit card transactions from customers. To enforce this, the Sindh Consumer Protection Authority within the Bureau of Supply Prices has initiated actions by serving warnings to notable restaurants in Clifton such as Karachi Broast, Frontier, Bethak, Nahari Inn, and Desi Dera.

The aforementioned businesses have received stringent warnings due to their non-compliance with the Sindh Consumer Protection Act 2014, leading to official legal actions being launched against them. In his remarks, Director General Zahid Hussain Shar emphasized that eateries throughout the region failing to offer patrons the choice to settle bills using debit or credit cards would encounter severe legal consequences. Additionally, he mentioned that the Sindh government has addressed this matter under Section 23(4) of the regulatory framework following numerous public grievances.
