Common questions about Restaurant Tip Calculator India — Service Charge Guide

Is service charge the same as tip in India?

No. Service charge (5-10%) is levied by the restaurant and goes to the business. Tips are given directly to staff. In 2022, the Central Consumer Protection Authority ruled that service charge is voluntary — you can ask to remove it.
