It seems in some part of the world, espcially India, especially in New delhi india charges as much as 40% on tax on award stays. I did a lil research and it seems to be true.
What's worse is if you book suite or better room, you pay tax, service charge and fees equivalent to cash rate of those room.
Having to pay $40 for standard room award and 80$ tax a night on club room award is terrible!
