Ride-hailing Consumer Services
Event Summary

The India — Central Consumer Protection Authority>>> (CCPA) in India>>> has issued a notice to ride-hailing platform Uber>>> regarding its 'Advance Tip' feature. Union Consumer Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi>>> deemed the practice of nudging users to pay an advance tip for faster service as unethical, exploitative, and an unfair trade practice. The CCPA's action follows Pralhad Joshi>>>'s directive to investigate the matter. Uber>>>'s in-app message suggests that adding a tip of Rs 50, Rs 75, or Rs 100 might make a driver more likely to accept a ride, with the tip going entirely to the driver and being unchangeable later. This is not the first time Uber>>> has faced regulatory scrutiny in India>>>; in January, the CCPA also issued notices to Uber>>> and Ola Consumer>>> over alleged differential pricing based on mobile operating systems.
