Was your experience with the IC Nehru Place or IC Grand?
My experience has the InterContinental Grand in DEL doing this too as of the first half of 2005; a year earlier in 2004, the tax on rack rate wasn't applicable anywhere in DEL.
This tax on rack rate thing seems to have come out at the same time as the Central Government budget in DEL which had the "perks" taxes thrown in, some of which were then clearly complicatedly burdensome to business. Maybe it was a DEL budget thing, for I've not yet paid the tax on rack rate when doing award stays outside of DEL.
