Scams to watch for in India
- Short change and disputes over cash paidSomeone gives you too little change or claims you handed over less money than you did. This can also happen at official counters. It occurs across India and is highlighted as a particular problem in Delhi.
- Broken meters and inflated fixed faresA driver refuses the meter, says it is broken or quotes an inflated fixed price. Some Bengaluru auto drivers demand excessive night surcharges. Chennai auto drivers often quote prices well above the meter fare. This also happens elsewhere in India.
- Rigged taxi metersThe taxi has a meter, but it has been altered to produce an inflated fare.
