Centre's Crackdown On Uber's 'Advance Tips' Widens To Ola, Rapido

After Uber, 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. Union Minister Prahlad Joshi had called this practice unethical and exploitative. Uber had 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.
