 +To drive for Bharat Taxi, download the official Bharat Taxi Driver app, verify your mobile number, upload your driving licence and vehicle papers, add your bank details, and become a cooperative member. Bharat Taxi is India's first cooperative-sector cab service, launched on 5 February 2026, and it runs on a driver-owned model, so you keep your fare instead of paying a large commission.

 +<WRAP info>
 +**Quick Reply:** Bharat Taxi is operated by the Sahkar Taxi Cooperative, registered under the Multi-State Cooperative Societies Act, 2002. It was launched by the Union Minister for Home and Cooperation, Amit Shah, on 5 February 2026 in New Delhi. Drivers register through the Bharat Taxi Driver app, complete document checks, and buy a small cooperative shareholding to become co-owners. Two-wheelers, autos, and cars can all be registered.

 +
 +===== What Bharat Taxi is =====
 +
 +Bharat Taxi is a ride-hailing service run as a cooperative, not as a private company. It is backed by the Ministry of Cooperation and operated by the Sahkar Taxi Cooperative. Instead of a company taking a commission on every ride, the drivers themselves are members and owners, and the earnings flow back to them.
 +
 +The service began in the Delhi-NCR region, covering areas such as Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, Faridabad, and Ghaziabad, with a phased rollout planned across the country.
 +
 +===== How it differs from Ola and Uber =====
 +
 +The main difference is ownership and commission.
 +
 +  * **Ownership:** Drivers are cooperative members and co-owners, not just service partners.
 +  * **Commission:** The cooperative model is built to remove the heavy per-ride commission that private apps charge, so drivers keep more of each fare.
 +  * **Welfare:** As members, drivers can access cooperative welfare benefits and government social security schemes.
 +  * **Vehicles:** Two-wheelers, autos, taxis, and cars can be registered on the platform.
 +
 +===== How to register as a driver =====
 +
 +  - **Download the official app.** Search the Google Play Store for the official Bharat Taxi Driver app. Confirm the developer name before installing, as clones exist.
 +  - **Verify your mobile number.** Enter your 10-digit number and the OTP you receive.
 +  - **Set up your profile.** Add your name, email, and basic details.
 +  - **Upload documents.** Provide your driving licence, vehicle registration certificate, and other requested papers.
 +  - **Add bank details.** Give the bank account where your earnings will be paid directly.
 +  - **Become a cooperative member.** Buy the cooperative shareholding to become a co-owner. Confirm the current share amount inside the app before paying.
 +  - **Complete verification.** The cooperative runs document and background checks before activating you.
 +  - **Enable location and notifications.** Turn on GPS and alerts so you can receive ride requests.
 +
 +===== Documents you will need =====
 +
 +  * A valid driving licence
 +  * Vehicle registration certificate (RC)
 +  * Valid vehicle insurance and fitness, as applicable
 +  * A bank account in your name for payouts
 +  * Proof of identity and address, such as Aadhaar
 +
 +===== Beware fake Bharat Taxi apps =====
 +
 +High-profile government launches attract copycats. Fraudsters build fake driver-registration apps and websites that ask for a joining fee or your bank OTP, then vanish.
 +
 +  * Never pay a large upfront joining fee to a stranger or an unofficial link.
 +  * Never share your bank OTP or UPI PIN during registration. Genuine onboarding does not need it.
 +  * Verify announcements through the Ministry of Cooperation and official government sources.
 +  * If something feels off, stop and confirm before entering any details.

 +**Real example:** Devendra drives an auto in Ghaziabad and paid nearly a third of his daily earnings as commission to a private app. When Bharat Taxi opened in his area, he downloaded the official driver app, uploaded his licence and RC, bought the cooperative shares, and cleared verification in a few days. A friend almost lost money to a lookalike app that demanded ₹2,000 as a joining fee, but stopped after Devendra warned him it was not the official one.
