التنقل

  • تطبيق طلب سيارات

    Uber

    Works in most big cities for cars and autos; the UK government recommends app-based cabs over hailing taxis on the street, especially at night.

  • تطبيق طلب سيارات

    Ola

    Indian ride app for cars, autos and bikes, often similar or cheaper than Uber.

  • تطبيق طلب سيارات

    Rapido / Namma Yatri

    Rapido offers cheap bike taxis and autos in many cities; Namma Yatri is a driver-run auto app in Bengaluru and some other cities. Good for short hops.

  • سيارة أجرة

    Auto-rickshaws and prepaid taxi booths

    Agree the fare before getting in or insist on the meter where used. At airports and big stations use the official prepaid taxi or auto booth.

  • النقل العام

    City metros

    Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Chennai and others have clean, cheap metros. Buy QR tickets in the official apps, at counters or use a metro card. Delhi Metro has women-only coaches.

  • القطارات

    Indian Railways (IRCTC)

    Huge, cheap network; book early in the IRCTC app or website, as trains fill weeks ahead. AC classes (1A, 2A, 3A, CC) are more comfortable. Foreign tourist quota tickets exist at some stations.

  • الحافلات

    Long-distance buses (redBus)

    State and private sleeper buses between cities, booked in the redBus app. For very long distances, low-cost flights (IndiGo, Air India Express, Akasa) are often cheaper than expected.

المال والنقد

العملة: INR · Indian rupee

UPI QR payments dominate, but most need an Indian bank account (some tourist UPI wallets exist at airports, varies). Carry cash in small notes (10-200 INR) for autos, street food, temples and tips; many small sellers cannot change 500 notes. Cards work in hotels, malls and upscale restaurants. Use ATMs inside bank branches; card skimming is reported.

تحقق من سعر الصرف إلى INR

البقشيش

Tipping is common in India and appreciated, but amounts are modest. About 5-10% in sit-down restaurants, small tips for porters, drivers and guides. Some restaurants add a 'service charge' to the bill; under consumer protection rules and a 2025 Delhi High Court judgment it is voluntary and cannot be forced on you.

المطاعم5-10% if there is no service charge. Not expected at street stalls or dhabas. If a service charge is on the bill and you are not happy, you can ask for it to be removed.
المقاهي والباراتSmall change or round up.
سيارات الأجرة وتطبيقات التوصيلNot expected for metered taxis and autos; round up. For a full-day hired car and driver, 200-500 INR per day is common (varies).

الجولات والمرشدونGuides commonly get 300-1,000 INR for a half or full day depending on group size (varies).
توصيل الطعامOptional; 20-50 INR or in the Swiggy or Zomato app.

رسوم الخدمة: ما الصحيح

Some restaurants and hotels add a service charge (often 5-10%) as a separate line on the bill. Guidelines from the Central Consumer Protection Authority (July 2022) say restaurants must not add service charge automatically or by default, must not collect it under another name, and must not refuse entry or service if you decline it; it cannot be added on top of GST in a way that hides it. On 28 March 2025 the Delhi High Court upheld these guidelines and said service charge is a voluntary payment that cannot be made mandatory. Restaurant associations have appealed; hearings continued in 2025 (varies). Consumers can complain on the National Consumer Helpline (1915).

أساليب ضغط يجب الانتباه إليها

Some restaurants still print a service charge and say it is compulsory or 'goes to staff'. Under the guidelines it is optional: you can ask politely for it to be removed and tip staff directly in cash if you wish. Touts, guides and temple 'helpers' may push for donations or tips; agree prices first and give only what you choose.

عبارات مفيدة

  • बिल लाइए। (bil laaiye) Please bring the bill.
  • क्या सर्विस चार्ज शामिल है? (kya service charge shaamil hai?) Is a service charge included?
  • कृपया सर्विस चार्ज हटा दीजिए। (kripya service charge hata dijiye) Please remove the service charge.

آداب التعامل

  • Remove shoes before entering temples, mosques, gurudwaras and homes; some sites also ask you to remove leather items.
  • Dress modestly, covering shoulders and knees, especially at religious sites; cover your head in gurudwaras and some mosques (scarves are often provided).
  • Use your right hand for eating, giving and receiving; the left hand is considered unclean.
  • 'Namaste' with palms together is a respectful greeting; handshakes between men and women may not be welcome, so let women offer first.
  • Public displays of affection are frowned upon outside big-city areas.
  • Bargaining is expected at markets and with autos, but stay friendly; fixed-price shops and malls do not bargain.
  • Ask before photographing people, especially women, and never photograph cremations at Varanasi's ghats.
