Tipping in India

Tipping in IndiaTipping in India is optional, solely based on your judgment and experience. Frankly speaking, there is not a certain answer to the question of how much to tip in India. Some people tip, some don't. If you have had a good experience, tip by all means. Else, just pay for the service and get done with it. Some people pay a small amount before the service to ensure that they get good service. Read on further for some unspoken Indian tipping rules in case you are still clueless.
  • Tipping is usually done in restaurants when you pay the bill. Ideally, you are supposed to tip 10% of the bill. But most people keep loose change inside the bill book. The name of the restaurant also matters. If it a big and famous restaurant, then tip around 10% of the bill. If it is a small restaurant, then keeping loose change is enough.
  • It is customary to tip service providers at hotels. You can tip the bellman, the room service in-charge and the person who brings you food in the room. Giving Rs.20-50 is ideal.
  • Taxi drivers, auto rickshaw drivers and porters are usually not tipped. But if the service is genuinely good, you can tip a small amount. Most tips are accepted with a generous "Thank You".
