Tipping in India
Customary: 5%–10%. At restaurants — check the bill for a service charge first.
At restaurants
What is customary: Service is usually already on the bill
Worked example
On a ₹5,000.00 bill, 5% is ₹250.00, so you would hand over ₹5,250.00.
Tour guides
On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about ₹500.00 per person.
On a paid tour, 10% of the price on top.
Expected. Guide and driver are tipped separately, and the driver on a multi-day trip is tipped by the day.
The money
India uses the Indian Rupee (INR). Today 1 GBP is 128.48 INR.
Tipping in other countries
Customs vary by region, by venue and over time. Use your judgement and your eyes.
