Country Context: Select a region to see local tipping norms.
Tipping in Bharat (India) is a unique cultural practice often influenced by the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) guidelines. Unlike the mandatory tipping culture in the West, tipping here is a voluntary gesture of appreciation. While many high-end restaurants in cities like Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Kolkata may include a 5-10% service charge, our Tip Calculator India empowers you to decide the final gratuity. It automatically calculates the fair amount based on the subtotal, helping you maintain the balance between rewarding hospitality and following local consumer rights.
