How earnings are shared
PK Rides charges a 12% platform commission. On a fare of Rs 1,000 the captain receives Rs 880 and gross platform revenue is Rs 120. That amount is not shared directly — approved expenses and taxes are deducted first.
- − Applicable taxes
- − Staff salaries
- − City and zonal office expenses
- − Payment and banking charges
- − Technology and customer support costs
- − Approved marketing costs
- − Refunds, adjustments, regulatory and insurance costs
= Net Distributable Benefit
These are shares of the net distributable benefit, not of the gross ride fare. City and zone entitlement is calculated only from rides and revenue attributable to that territory, according to the signed Franchise Agreement.
Important to know
- Paying a security deposit does not automatically allocate a franchise. Final approval and territory allocation remain subject to PK Rides Head Office approval.
- The application deposit is refundable. Refund conditions and the process are governed by the signed Franchise Agreement, and it is never treated as operating income or distributable benefit.
- Franchise partners receive a digital settlement statement showing gross ride value, platform revenue, every expense category, net distributable benefit and the final payable amount.
- Returns are not guaranteed. Earnings depend on real ride activity and approved expenses in the territory.
