if i have to pay taxes for upgrade on award as well as paid stay, it basically means all hotel chains in delhi are making useless any upgrade priviledges from their respective chains. is that violation of T&C of loyalty programs?
Which hotel are you staying at? Make sure to take a printout of your reservation and rate details. I still get upgrades on paid stays in DEL without much issue, but the taxes sometimes end up being higher on the folio when I get upgraded and sometimes are the same as they'd be for a non-upgraded room. If the taxes on a paid stay dissuade you from an upgrade, that's not the fault of the hotel; it's the fault of the government.
