About This Listing
Maa Ki Chai's cost page shows a Rs 2 lakh kiosk fee and a Rs 1.7 lakh Diwali offer dated "through 9 November 2026", a date that had passed when the page was read on 10 Nov 2026. It publishes no agreement term, renewal or exit terms and says a franchise starts only after a written agreement, so we cannot confirm a complete live offer.
