No! Tipping is voluntary in India, unlike the USA. It's a gesture to appreciate good service. BUT many restaurants add "Service Charge" (5-10%) to the bill - this is NOT a tip and you can legally refuse to pay it (Supreme Court 2017).

Haircut/Salon: 10-15% or ₹50-100. Spa/Massage: 10-20% or ₹100-200. If the owner serves you personally, tipping is optional. For junior stylists/therapists, tip generously - they often have low base salaries!

Driver tip: ₹20-50 for good service (optional). Food delivery: ₹20-50 (especially during rain/late night). Zomato/Swiggy have in-app tipping. Cash tips go 100% to delivery partners - better than app tips!

USA: 15-20% tip is EXPECTED (servers get $2-5/hr + tips). Not tipping is rude! India: 10% is generous, voluntary. Europe: Service included in bill. Middle East: 10-15%. Japan: NO tipping (considered rude)!

Easy trick: 10% = move decimal left (e.g., ₹1000 = ₹100). Then add half of 10% to get 15% (₹100 + ₹50 = ₹150). For 20%: Double the 10% (₹100 × 2 = ₹200). Mental math simplified!
