The 137-year-old Ripon Club at Fort. Pics/Atul Kamble

A memberâÂu00c2u0080Âu00c2u0088and the administration of the 137-year-old Ripon Club are at loggerheads over GST. The issue began when Jimmy Chinoy, 80, a resident of Cusrow Baug in Colaba, who has been a member of the club for 40 years, was recently charged 18 per cent on two successive bills, instead of the updated 5 per cent. When he approached the authorities, he was told they charged a higher levy as the club did not cook its own food, but ordered it from a caterer who in turn charged them 18 per cent.
