Ola and Rapido are under investigation by the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) to check if they are forcing or nudging users to pay advance tips in exchange for quicker service. The probe follows a notice issued to Uber just a day earlier over the same practice."CCPA is investigating other apps like Olacab and Rapido, they will also be served notice if they are found indulging in such practices," said Consumer Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi said in a social media post."The practice of 'Advance Tip' is deeply concerning," he said."Forcing or nudging users to pay a tip in advance, for faster service, is unethical and exploitative. Such actions fall under unfair trade practices," the minister wrote.— JoshiPralhad (@JoshiPralhad) Joshi emphasised that tipping is meant as a token of appreciation, given after service completion, not as an entitlement beforehand."Fairness, transparency and accountability must be upheld in all customer interactions," Joshi added.What's the feature?Uber has introduced an "Advance Tip" feature in its app, which allows users to tip drivers before booking a ride, with the suggestion that doing so may lead to faster service. The app prompts users to add a tip of Rs 50, Rs 75, or Rs 100 during the booking process, stating, "Add a tip for faster pickup. A driver may be more likely to accept this ride if you add a tip."Online backlashThe tip move has also created a controversy on social media. One user wrote, "This whole ‘advance tip’ scam started with Bengaluru autos and was pushed by Namma Yatri. Now it’s spread like a virus — even Uber and Rapido have picked it up."Replying to the minister's post, another user wrote, "Not just that, now Uber has stopped showing fare. It asks us to "continue without seeing fare". Fare shows only after driver is matched. How can this be allowed?"Users also pointed out that this "unethical" practice was spreading to other apps like Ola Cabs and food delivery companies Swiggy and Zomato.

A day after IndusInd Bank revealed that it is suspecting fraud in accounting irregularities and flagged involvement of senior employees, Ashok Hinduja, Chairman of IndusInd International, has come out in strong support of the current leadership and the board.In a statement following the bank’s Q4 FY25 results, Hinduja said he has “unequivocal trust” in the bank’s board and praised their swift action in addressing the discrepancies. “This will lead to higher standards of transparency and governance, rebuilding trust in the Bank,” he said.On May 21, IndusInd Bank disclosed multiple accounting lapses, including inflated fee and interest income and misclassified asset and liability entries, leading the board to suspect internal fraud. The bank has already corrected its financials and informed regulatory authorities. A forensic probe is underway, and accountability measures have been initiated.Despite the controversy, Hinduja emphasised that the bank’s core business remains strong. “The coordinated efforts of management and the board have kept the bank healthy, with robust capital adequacy,” he said, adding that customer confidence continues to hold steady.Referring to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Hinduja appreciated the regulator’s “orderly and guided” approach in handling such issues in the past and expressed confidence in its continued oversight.Importantly, Hinduja reiterated that IIHL remains committed to financially supporting IndusInd Bank, just as it has over the last three decades. “Even though capital adequacy is strong, if further equity is needed for business growth, we are fully committed,” he stated.His comments aim to calm investor nerves following a week of reputational damage. The board has assured stakeholders that this marks a fresh chapter for the bank—“a new dawn with a sanitised slate”—as it works toward restoring the credibility it once enjoyed.(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views, and opinions given by experts are their own.
