Plain answers.

HelpRush is a real-time, open marketplace for local services. You book a verified pro — electrician, plumber, AC technician, cleaner, painter, locksmith, carpenter, appliance tech — and RushHour™ dispatches them to you in seconds for NOW jobs, or on a slot you pick for SCHEDULED jobs. For bigger multi-day work (renovations, full-home painting, construction) there's a Projects lane with milestone-based escrow. Live in Srinagar.

Live in Srinagar today, with 2,500+ verified pros and median match under 5 seconds on the NOW lane. Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Pune are on the waitlist — join at /waitlist for yours.

RushHour is HelpRush's real-time dispatch engine. It routes a NOW-lane job to the nearest verified pro within a 5 km radius — median match under 5 seconds in Srinagar. Patent-pending (IN 202511047332).

Daily auto-payout to your bank by default. Instant payout available 24/7 inside the Partner app for a 1% fee. Wallet balance visible in real time; cash collected shows as a negative balance until settled.

For per-job dispatch (NOW + SCHEDULED lanes): Basic tier 20%, Pro (₹499/month) 12%, Elite (₹999/month) 8% — earned on merit via Trust Score + jobs + rating. For the Projects lane: flat 10% platform fee on the project amount. HelpRush pays 18% GST on its commission directly; not the customer's concern.

Yes — every pro clears five native layers before a single job dispatches: (1) native KYC — Aadhaar + PAN captured on-device with Google ML Kit OCR that matches against their application, plus a smart selfie with live face detection; (2) a category-specific Skill Verification Engine quiz; (3) a probation cycle on their first five jobs; (4) a live Trust Engine score that drives dispatch priority; (5) a Risk Engine watching for ten fraud signal types. Nothing dispatches without all of them.

Apply at /partner/apply — five minutes on web. Then download the Partner app: smart selfie with live face detection, Aadhaar + PAN capture with on-device OCR (extracts your data and matches against your application — mismatch rejects instantly), then the Skill Verification Engine quiz per category. Most pros clear identity in under 30 minutes and take their first job within 48 hours. No application fee, no mandatory kit, no exclusivity.
