Wayout is simple. You don't like a restaurant charging service charge, don't come to the restaurant.

But that illegal. Just by avoiding it we are letting them flourish.  
  
 It's like avoiding crowded places for pickpockets instead of stepping up the security

Anant Ladha in this video says, even if service charge is mentioned it can be asked to remove.
But so many, so many fine dine 'elite' restaurant say it is mandatory, because they have written it outside, on the menu, everywhere 

Is it legal? Can they force us to pay service charge? And then GST on service charge?

What's the way out here

Why is the Swiggy platform fee variable?

Swiggy is slowly becoming unusable. They have already increased minimum amount in Instamart for free delivery from 99 to 149 to 199 now. This is really becoming a problem. Is there any other alternative to this? They are slowly showing their true colours now that they are aiming profitability.

Swiggy FEE Mafia

Yeah. But that's the price you'll have to pay for convenience. They were always gonna start making money one day

GPay convenience fee for recharge

Hey,

I just did a jio prepaid recharge of 749 on GPay and was charged 3 rupees convenience fee. I did not know that GPay charges convenience fee, So I just wanted to let everyone know.

GPay convenience fee for recharge

I have done some testing and it looks like the convenience fees are like this:

For recharge amounts of 1 to 100, there is no convenience fee, 

For recharge of 101 to 200 it's 1 rupee convenience fee, 

For 201 to 300 it's 2 rupees,

and for 301 and above, the maximum convenience fee is 3 rupees.
