India, Feb. 11 -- Foodtech major Swiggy has reportedly asked its restaurant partners today to pay an additional 2% collection fee on all orders starting from February 16.

Sources close to the matter told Inc42 that Swiggy has sent the mail to some restaurant partners, allowing them to have a discussion with the company on the fee.

Sources also added that the fee is not being imposed as these restaurant owners can discuss it with the account managers.

The company via email to the restaurant partners said that this fee would be deducted from their payouts, as per a report by The Arc.

Citing reason to charge the fee, Swiggy said, "This fee is for facilitating seamless customer payments on the Swiggy platform."
