Under which set of guidelines is a tipping feature permitted only after the journey has been completed?
- A.Motor Vehicles Aggregators Guidelines, 2025
- B.E-Commerce Rules, 2020
- C.Legal Metrology Rules, 2011
- D.Misleading Advertisement Guidelines, 2022
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Motor Vehicles Aggregators Guidelines, 2025, whose Clause 14.15 provides for a tipping feature only once the ride is over. The Authority found that the app continued to display its advance payment prompt even after the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways clarified on 11 August 2026 that such prompts cannot appear before completion of a ride. Option D names guidelines that the company has separately been told to follow, but they deal with misleading advertisements and endorsements rather than tipping by aggregators. Options B and C name rules that have no bearing on this finding. Aspirants should link the clause with the two provisions of the Consumer Protection Act of 2019 that the order applied, on concealment of material information and on unfair trade practice.
