Centre asks Ola, Uber and Rapido to remove advance tipping before rides
- The Centre has told Ola, Uber and Rapido to stop offering tips before a ride is booked, calling the practice misleading.
- Officials said riders complained that apps made them feel paying an extra tip could improve their chances of getting a ride.
- The Central Consumer Protection Authority CCPA says tips must be voluntary and should be offered only after a ride ends.
- Rapido was recently fined ₹10 lakh, while Ola and Uber are also being investigated over pricing and other app practices.
