Hiring home help in Salt Lake
Salt Lake is a planned township organised into sectors and blocks. 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.
Whether you find someone through the building, a broker or here, the same three things decide whether it lasts: can they reach Salt Lake at the same time every day, do you actually agree on the work, and is any of it written down. In Kolkata the everyday phrase is kajer lok. Sevetu handles the third, and shows you an ID-verified profile before the first conversation.
What hiring in Salt Lake is actually like
Salt Lake is a planned township organised into sectors and blocks, and in this kind of area the complex matters more than the address. A helper with a pass for one gate does not have one for the next, so people tend to work inside a single community and stay there. If you have just moved in, the family two floors up is a shorter route to help than any wider search.
It is also why the going rate can differ between two complexes a few hundred metres apart. Find out what your own society already pays before you negotiate. It will tell you more than any figure for Kolkata as a whole.
Either way, name the part of Salt Lake you are in. Salt Lake borders New Town, Lake Town and Dum Dum, and a helper's willingness to take the job usually comes down to which side of it you are on.
The practical part
Verification
Sevetu runs an Aadhaar-based identity (KYC) check. It is not a police check, and we will never call it one. Kolkata Police runs the Domestic Help profile form, through the Bondhu citizen portal and app if you want one. How to arrange it in Kolkata →
What it costs
No commission, from either side. We publish no salary table for Salt Lake: pay for domestic work settles street by street, and a number we invented would only mislead you.

Frequently asked questions
Post the job with Salt Lake as your locality rather than just "Kolkata", and add the part of it you are in. Helpers here work a tight radius. Most of the people who will apply already work New Town, Lake Town or the streets between. Fewer applicants, far more who can actually reach you.
Salt Lake borders New Town, Lake Town, Dum Dum, Kestopur. Helpers commonly work across two or three adjacent areas, so saying in your post that you are flexible about which side someone comes from will widen the response more than raising the pay does.
Salt Lake is a planned township organised into sectors and blocks. That decides the practical things: who is nearby, how they get to you, and whether the going rate is set by a society chart or by what the street pays.
Mostly some combination of Bengali, Hindi and English. Applicants list theirs, and it is worth filtering on: a household where instructions land first time is the one where the arrangement lasts.
