Tipping
Tipping or Baksheesh is very common in Delhi. It is done here in order to get things done. Astute baksheesh will often open closed doors, find missing items and perform other small miracles. In mid-range and upper-end restaurants or hotels a service charge (usually 10%) is often added to bills, so tipping is very optional. In smaller places, where a service charge has not been added to the bill, anything upwards of 20.00 a tip is warmly appreciated
