Contexte culturel
In Indian culture, the person who says this is often the one intending to pay for the whole group. There is a famous 'struggle' at the end of meals where everyone tries to be the one to ask for the bill first. Using this phrase firmly establishes you as the host of the moment.
The 'Bhaiya' Boost
Always add 'Bhaiya' (brother) before saying this to a male vendor. It makes the command sound like a friendly request rather than a cold order.
Watch the 'Karo'
The ending 'karo' is for people younger than you or of equal status. If the shopkeeper is much older, use 'kijiye' to avoid sounding rude.

What It Means
Bil taiyaar karo is a straightforward command. It means you want the final calculation of costs. It is functional and gets straight to the point. You are telling someone to finalize the numbers. It is not poetic or flowery. It is about business and settling up.
How To Use It
You use this when you are ready to leave. Just add the person's name or a polite title before it. For example, Bhaiya, bil taiyaar karo. It works best in service-oriented environments. You can use it for physical bills or digital invoices. It is a very active phrase. It implies you are in a bit of a hurry.
When To Use It
Use it at a local grocery store or a small cafe. It is perfect for your regular vegetable vendor. Use it when talking to a freelance contractor you hired. It works well when you are finishing a meal with friends. It is great for quick transactions. It feels natural in busy, bustling Indian markets.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this in a high-end fine dining restaurant. It might sound a bit too bossy there. Avoid using it with your boss or senior colleagues. In very formal settings, use kijiye instead of karo. Never use it if you are the guest at someone's house. That would be a major social blunder! You do not pay for hospitality in an Indian home.
Cultural Background
In India, settling the bill can sometimes be a loud affair. People often shout for the bill across a room. Bil taiyaar karo reflects the fast-paced nature of Indian commerce. It shows a level of familiarity with the shopkeeper. It is part of the 'hustle' culture in big cities like Mumbai or Delhi. It marks the transition from social time to 'going home' time.
Common Variations
If you want to be more polite, say Bil taiyaar kijiye. If you are with close friends, you might say Bil lao (Bring the bill). In a professional email, you would write Kripya bil bheje (Please send the bill). Sometimes people just say Check please in English. However, the Hindi version feels more grounded. It sounds like you are a regular who knows the place.
Notes d'usage
The phrase is neutral but leans toward informal because of the 'karo' ending. It is highly effective in commercial transactions where speed is valued over ceremony.
The 'Bhaiya' Boost
