In India, tipping is generally appreciated but not always expected. In restaurants, leaving a 10% to 15% tip for good service is customary, though some higher-end establishments may add a service charge to the bill. For other services like hotel staff, tour guides, and drivers, tipping is also appreciated as a gesture of gratitude for excellent service. It's always thoughtful to tip in cash and directly to the person providing the service.
