If you are aggrieved by the sudden change in the decision by the firm with regard to the rates and non inclusion of GST etc., you may first make a representation to the origination with their original quotes as evidence besides other factors i.e., permitting you to execute the contract and objection raised only after the first bill was presented, hence seek the intervention of the top management to redress your grievance.
If you do not get an y favorable reply then you may plan to adopt legal steps either with a suit for specific relief before the jurisdictional civil court or a writ petition before high court for necessary relief.
