Bangalore Hotels Association (BHA) has warned that its members and other hospitality bodies will stop business with Swiggy from August 15 if the platform does not fix payment transparency and deduction issues. The association demands a one-click opt-out for ads, separate disclosure of all charges (commission, GST, CPC, promotions), and an end to deductions made without written consent. BHA honorary president P C Rao told PTI that restaurants get less than half the billed order value after deductions, with some receiving only Rs 40,000-50,000 against payouts of Rs one lakh. The association says it will wait until August 15 before deciding, and will try not to inconvenience customers. Swiggy did not immediately respond.
