- The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA)issued a notice to Uber over its ‘advance tip’ feature, which allegedly prompts users to pay extra for faster service.
- Consumer Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi labeled the practice as “unethical and exploitative.”
- The CCPA is also investigating similar practices by other ride-hailing platforms like Rapido and Ola.
- The authority emphasizes that tipping should be voluntary and post-service, not a prerequisite for timely pickups.
👉 Why this matters: This scrutiny reflects growing concerns over fair trade practices in the digital economy and the need to protect consumer rights.
