        int choice;
        printf("\nEnter 1=TNB or 2=SYABAS: ");
        scanf("%d", &choice);

        if(choice == 1)
        {
            discount= 0.05;
        }

        else if(choice == 2)
        {
            discount= 0.10;

You will want to assign the return value to a variable for later use.

You should change

bill();

to

int billType = bill();

Also it looks weird to assign small values such as 0.10 and 0.05 to int discount; because they will be truncated to zero. Consider using another type (for example, double) or remove the meaningless lines (because discount is not read).
