Hiring home help in Alipore

Alipore is an older, affluent south Kolkata area. Hiring here works the way it does across Kolkata: someone in the building knows someone, a number gets passed along, and a stranger starts work on Monday with nothing checked and nothing written down.

In Kolkata the everyday phrase is kajer lok. Sevetu changes the order. Post what you need with Alipore as your locality, review ID-verified profiles from people who can genuinely reach you, chat before you commit, and record the salary, hours and weekly off in a digital work agreement. You pay the helper directly and Sevetu takes no commission.

Beyond identity

How to get a police verification in Kolkata

Sevetu runs an identity (KYC) check — Aadhaar or government ID. That confirms a person is who they say they are. It is not a police or criminal-background check, and we will never describe it as one. What we do and do not check →

If you want a police check as well — and for live-in roles, childcare and drivers it is worth it — you arrange it yourself, and in Kolkata there is an official route. Kolkata Police handles it through the Domestic Help profile form, through the Bondhu citizen portal and app. Kolkata Police publishes a Domestic Help Profile Form and also collects the same details through the Bondhu Kolkata Police citizen app. Kolkata Police — official portal →

Government processes change. Check the official Kolkata Police site for the current form, fee and documents before you apply. Sevetu is not affiliated with any police department.

Questions & answers

Frequently asked questions

Post your job on Sevetu with Alipore as your locality rather than just "Kolkata". You will get fewer applicants and far more who can actually reach you every morning — which is what decides whether the arrangement lasts past a month.

Maids and house help, cooks, nannies and babysitters, japa maids for newborn care, elder care attendants and drivers. You post what you need and verified helpers in and around Alipore apply.

Alipore sits next to New Alipore, Bhowanipore, Kidderpore, Chetla. Helpers commonly work across two or three adjacent areas, so it is worth saying in your post if you are flexible about which side of the neighbourhood someone comes from.

We do not publish a locality rate card, and we would rather explain why than invent one: no independent source measures home-help pay at neighbourhood level, and pay clusters tightly inside one society and jumps between them. The most reliable guide is what your own building already pays.

No. Sevetu runs an identity (KYC) check against Aadhaar or a government ID — that confirms who someone is and nothing more. For a police check, Kolkata Police runs the Domestic Help profile form, through the Bondhu citizen portal and app, which you arrange yourself.

No. Sevetu charges neither the household nor the worker. You pay only the salary you agree, directly to the person doing the work.

Yes. It is free for workers, takes no commission, and lets them apply directly to families. See household jobs in Kolkata.

Most speak some combination of Bengali, Hindi and English. Applicants list their languages, so you can filter for someone you can actually give instructions to.
