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.

We do recommend tipping at various instances, but tip higher only when you are very happy 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. Standard tipping that travelers provide to different service providers: Pickup & Drop - 2$ to 10$ Waiters -1$ to 5$ Drivers - 5$ to 10$ Managers & Tour Guides - 10$ to 50$ or it totally depends on you
