Bengaluru hotels warn of Swiggy boycott from Aug 15 over payment dispute

Bangalore Hotels Association warns it will suspend business with Swiggy from August 15 if issues are not resolved.

Swiggy is accused of deducting advertisement and promotional charges without written or digital consent.

BHA seeks a one-click opt-out mechanism for advertisements and separate disclosure of all charges in payment statements.

Restaurants reportedly receive less than 50% of billed order value due to deductions, causing financial hardship.

BHA says decision to discontinue will be made while minimizing customer inconvenience and arranging alternatives.
