First, pick the kind of delivery work

Delivery work in Delhi NCR comes in a few types. Each one feels different on the road.

  • Food delivery: Swiggy and Zomato. You pick up from restaurants and deliver hot food.
  • Quick commerce (groceries in minutes): Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy Instamart, BB Now, Flipkart Minutes and Amazon Now. You work from a store near your area.
  • Parcels: Amazon Flex, Delhivery, Ekart, Shadowfax and XpressBees deliver e-commerce parcels. Porter partners carry goods on trips that customers book.
  • Bike taxi: Rapido and Uber Moto. Here you carry a passenger. Rapido Captains can also take parcel, food and grocery deliveries.

Not sure? Think about what you have (a bike, a cycle or nothing yet) and how many hours you can give. Swiggy, Swiggy Instamart and Porter all say you can work part-time or full-time.

Check the basics before you apply

Most companies ask for the same few things:

  • Age: Blinkit, Zomato, Rapido, XpressBees, Uber Moto and Amazon Flex all ask that you are at least 18 years old.
  • A smartphone: the work runs on an app. Some companies ask for a newer phone. Zomato asks for Android 6.0 or higher with at least 2 GB RAM. Amazon Flex asks for Android 13 or higher with at least 3 GB RAM.
  • A vehicle: most companies want a two-wheeler. Swiggy, Swiggy Instamart and Zepto also work with cycles. Shadowfax and Rapido (in Delhi) rent out electric vehicles.
  • A driving licence if you ride a bike or scooter. The law says nobody may drive a motor vehicle on the road without one.
  • A bank account: pay goes there.

Keep your documents ready

The company checks your documents before your first order. Keep these ready:

  • PAN card and Aadhaar card
  • Driving licence, RC and insurance if you ride a bike or scooter
  • Pollution certificate (PUC) for a petrol bike
  • Bank account details

Each company asks for a slightly different list. Our guide on documents needed for delivery jobs shows what each company lists, and how to get a missing document.

Ask about joining fees

Some companies charge a fee when you join. Ask about it before you start.

  • Swiggy says its onboarding fee is around ₹1,500. It varies by city and is cut from your pay in instalments.
  • Swiggy Instamart, Zomato and Blinkit charge an onboarding or joining fee. The amount depends on the city and is not on their pages.
  • Zepto may charge onboarding and training fees and a refundable security deposit, cut from your payouts.
  • Porter and XpressBees say there is no fee to join.
  • Rapido says joining is free, but its terms allow fees or a subscription shown in the app.

What happens in your first days

  • Checks: most companies do a background check first. Amazon says its check usually takes 2 to 5 business days.
  • Training: Blinkit, Shadowfax and Flipkart Minutes give training before your first order. Rapido asks for a 30-hour induction training.
  • A trial run: Porter gives one trial (dummy) order after your documents are checked.
  • Pay: Swiggy, Zomato, Blinkit, Shadowfax, Delhivery, XpressBees and Uber pay weekly into your bank account. Amazon Flex pays on the days you choose, as early as the next day.

Once you start, also register on e-Shram, the government's free database of unorganised workers. You only need your Aadhaar number and the mobile number linked to it.

Questions people ask

Can I deliver on a bike or scooter without a driving licence?
No. Under section 3 of the Motor Vehicles Act, nobody may drive a motor vehicle in a public place without a valid driving licence for it. A learner's licence only lets you practise with someone who holds a permanent licence. If you want to deliver on a bike or scooter, get your licence first.
What is e-Shram, and can delivery workers register?
e-Shram is the Labour Ministry's national database of unorganised workers, and the Ministry has asked platform workers to register on it. Anyone doing unorganised work and aged 16 to 59 can register. There is no income limit and no education requirement. Registration is totally free, and nobody may charge you for it. You get a UAN card that never expires.
How do I register on e-Shram?
You need your Aadhaar number and the mobile number linked to it. Register yourself on the e-Shram portal, or get help at a nearby Common Service Centre (CSC). If your mobile number is not linked to Aadhaar, the CSC can register you with a fingerprint (biometric) check. At the CSC, just carry your Aadhaar number and your mobile phone.
What does the Code on Social Security mean for gig and platform workers?
The Code on Social Security, 2020 recognises gig and platform workers for the first time. It requires social security schemes for them, covering life and disability insurance, health, maternity and pension, with a Social Security Fund for their welfare. Gig and platform workers will have to register on a national portal and get a unique number, verified through Aadhaar, that is valid across India.
Can I work part-time?
Yes, at some companies. Swiggy and Swiggy Instamart let you choose part-time or full-time shifts, and Porter says you can work part-time or full-time. Rapido has no fixed shift.
Do I have to visit an office to join?
Sometimes. Porter checks documents in person at its city office, and Uber Moto sign-up is done in person at a Partner Seva Kendra. At Flipkart Minutes, background verification is done through its partner app. You can ask our team about this on the call.
