Most travellers withdraw from ATMs (widespread, but avoid standalone machines at tourist spots) or change at local banks or licensed forex counters; airport counters give poor rates and high fees.
Cards accepted in hotels, mid-range restaurants, and larger stores; smaller eateries, street stalls, and auto-rickshaws expect cash. Contactless and mobile pay (Google Pay/PhonePe) are common in shops and taxis.
Restaurants: 10% not expected but appreciated if no service charge; round up for auto-rickshaws; hotel porters ₹20-50, housekeeping optional.

A basic main dish—like a dal makhani or paneer curry with naan—at a regular restaurant costs ₹150-250.
Street food zones cluster around Hall Bazaar, Golden Temple’s langar (free meal), and busy markets; try samosas, chole kulcha, or jalebis for ₹20-50.
Budget chains like Reliance Smart, Easyday, or local kirana stores are common; buy loose fruit/veg from street vendors for less.
Budget clothes markets: Hall Bazaar, Guru Bazaar; readymade shirts/jeans under ₹500-800, tailoring is cheap.
Cheapest: walk or shared auto-rickshaw (₹10-20 per short hop). From airport: take the local bus (₹30) or prepaid shared auto (₹100-150) into town.
