India's consumer protection authority has banned hotels and restaurants from levying a service charge on bills. The order came after authorities said there had been an increase in complaints by customers being forced to pay the charge. Restaurants often add a 5% to 15% tip to a customer's bill under a "service charge" category. But new rules say restaurants can no longer "add service charge by default or automatically" to the bill. The new guidelines also bar restaurants from collecting tips from customer "under any other name" or "deny service or entry to customers who refuse to pay a tip".

印度消费者保护机构已禁止酒店和餐馆在账单中收取服务费。 此前，有关部门表示，越来越多的顾客投诉被迫支付这一费用。 餐馆通常会在顾客账单的“服务费”项下加上5%到15%的小费。 但新规定表示，餐馆不能再在账单中“默认或自动增加服务费”。 新规定还禁止餐馆“以任何其他名义”向顾客收取小费，也不得以收取服务费为由而限制消费者进入或拒绝为消费者提供服务。
