Amazon Now delivery partner salary and how to join

Updated October 2026

How much does an Amazon Now delivery partner earn?

Amazon has no published pay figure for Amazon Now riders. Job-portal ads quote very wide ranges that cannot be checked.

Take-home pay depends on your hours, city, incentives, fuel and vehicle costs, and nobody publishes a typical figure after costs.

How Amazon Now delivery pay works

Amazon has not published how it works out Amazon Now rider pay. Before you start, ask for:

• The rate per order, and whether it changes with distance, weight or time of day
• Incentive targets: how many orders, in which hours, and what you get for hitting them
• When pay reaches your bank account, and whether there is any minimum payout per day
• Every deduction: uniform, bag, joining or training fee, penalties

How to join Amazon Now as a delivery partner

1. Look for a delivery or careers link only on amazon.in or inside the Amazon app, and ask whether the role delivers Amazon Now orders.
2. If a job portal lists an Amazon Now rider opening, check that the company hiring names Amazon as its client.
3. Keep your documents ready.
4. Complete the background check and training. Ask which store you will be attached to and which shifts are open.
5. Read the pay terms in the app before your first shift: the per-order rate, distance and weight extras, incentive targets and any deductions.
6. Check that your details are on the government’s e-Shram portal, so you can claim gig-worker benefits.

Documents you need to become an Amazon Now delivery partner

Amazon does not publish a document list for Amazon Now riders. Blinkit’s published list is a fair guide to what quick-delivery apps ask for:

• 18 years or older
• Your own two-wheeler
• An Android phone with internet
• Driving licence, vehicle RC and vehicle insurance
• PAN card
• Address proof and an active bank account

What an Amazon Now delivery shift is like

Riders are usually attached to one store. You log in on the rider app near the store, the store team picks and packs each order, and you collect the bag and ride it to a customer close by. Then you head back for the next order.

Because pay is mostly per order, what you earn in a shift depends on how many orders come in. Ask the hiring company which hours are busiest at your Amazon Now store, what happens if you log out early, and whether you can choose your own hours or must book fixed slots.

Insurance and social security for Amazon Now riders

Amazon does not publish what insurance it gives Amazon Now riders. Ask about accident and health cover, and whether your family is included, before you join.

The national Code on Social Security adds a government benefit scheme on top of any company cover, and Karnataka and Telangana have their own gig-worker laws on notice, pay and deductions that apply to Amazon Now riders too (Amazon Now has 151 stores in Karnataka and 69 stores in Telangana). Who qualifies and what each law says is on gig workers’ rights in quick commerce.

Cities with the most Amazon Now stores for riders

These are Amazon Now store counts, not job listings. Every store needs riders, so more stores usually means more openings, including in the smaller towns on Amazon Now’s city list.

How to avoid fake Amazon Now delivery job offers

Fake delivery-job sites use app names to collect “registration” fees. In August 2025 the Delhi High Court ordered fake Zepto job sites such as zeptojob.com and zeptojobs.in taken down. Never pay a person or a personal UPI ID for a job, and report job fraud on 1930 or at cybercrime.gov.in.
