Delivery Boy Jobs in Mumbai: Gig or Salaried, Bike or No Bike
Delivery is one of the quickest jobs to start in Mumbai: food and grocery apps, e-commerce and courier companies, pharmacies and local shops all need riders. The work and the pay are very different between app-based gig work and salaried delivery jobs. This page covers both, the documents and vehicle you need, the option without a bike, office boy jobs that often get listed alongside, and the fake offers to avoid.

Gig delivery or a salaried job
Choose the kind of work before you choose the company.
| Type | How you are paid | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Food and quick-commerce apps | Per order, plus incentives | Flexible hours; earnings depend on orders and peak times |
| E-commerce and courier companies | Monthly salary, sometimes plus incentives | Fixed route or area, fixed shift, often PF and ESIC |
| Pharmacies, restaurants, local shops | Monthly salary | Smaller area, close to home |
| Office boy and office delivery | Monthly salary | Documents, cheques and parcels between offices and banks |
Documents and vehicle
For bike delivery: you must be 18 or older with a valid driving licence for a two-wheeler, and the vehicle needs its registration certificate, valid insurance and PUC. A smartphone with internet is needed for app-based work. Some companies and apps also accept riders on bicycles or electric scooters, and some rent electric scooters to riders; ask the cost before you sign.
Without a bike: walking and bicycle delivery in small areas, warehouse and dark-store packing, and office boy jobs are the usual options.
Ask before you start
For gig work: how earnings are calculated per order, what incentives need, how fuel is covered, and when payouts come. For salaried work: the in-hand pay, the shift, the area, whether fuel or a vehicle allowance is paid, and whether you are on the company's payroll or a staffing company's.
Fake delivery job offers
Onboarding for delivery apps happens on the company's official app or at its official centres. Be careful with "agents" who promise an ID or a slot on an app for a fee, and with offers to "deliver parcels" that turn out to be carrying unknown packages or cash for strangers. Never pay a third party to get a delivery job.

Common questions
What documents are needed for a delivery boy job in Mumbai?
Aadhaar, PAN and a bank account; for bike delivery also a valid two-wheeler driving licence, the vehicle RC, insurance and PUC; and a smartphone for app-based work.
Can I get a delivery job in Mumbai without a bike?
Yes: bicycle or walking delivery in small areas, packing in dark stores and warehouses, rented electric scooters from some companies, and office boy jobs.
Is a gig delivery job better than a salaried one?
Gig work is flexible and pays per order; salaried delivery gives a fixed monthly pay and often PF and ESIC. Pick based on whether you need steady pay or flexible hours.
Do I need to pay to join a delivery app?
Join only through the company's official app or centre. Never pay an agent who promises a delivery ID.
