1. What About Tipping In India?

Although tipping in India is not compulsory, doing so is a nice gesture. In some circumstances, a small tip is expected. The rules of etiquette for gratuity in India are a little muddled as the colonial past, tourism, and cultural influences clash. We recommend tipping at various instances, but tip higher only when you are pleased with the service. Tip can given after completion of the services from 5$, 10$ or more as per your choice and depending on how much satisfied & happy you are with the service provider.
