This is actually NOT a scam. It is standard CTB public bus policy. Red government buses and local blue buses do not have undercarriage luggage compartments. If your bag is massive and takes up a physical seat or blocks the narrow standing aisle, the conductor is legally allowed to charge you for an extra passenger seat. Just pay it so you do not have to hold 20kg on your lap.

Good to know. We just paid the extra 150 rupees, definitely worth it.

Try to sit near the front driver cabin. You can sometimes rest the bag on the hot engine cover for free.

If you keep your bag on your lap the entire ride, they cannot charge you anything.
