About maid service in Old Delhi
Old Delhi, under pincode 110006 and known to most as Chandni Chowk, is the city's historic core: a web of katras, havelis and walk-up family homes packed around some of India's most recognisable monuments. The Red Fort and Jama Masjid stand at its heart, Khari Baoli's wholesale spice market runs along its western edge, and Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib anchors the main Chandni Chowk stretch. Households here are overwhelmingly long-settled trading families, many living jointly across floors of the same building, and they typically need help experienced with big kitchens, festival-time workloads and early market-day starts. Lanes are too narrow for cars, so helpers move on foot or by rickshaw, with the Yellow Line's Chandni Chowk and Chawri Bazar stations close by. Daryaganj adjoins the area to the south, Paharganj lies just west beyond the railway line, and Civil Lines begins across the northern edge.

Full-time vs part-time maid in Old Delhi
Old Delhi mixes apartment blocks with independent homes, so both arrangements are common: part-time maids on fixed daily slots for apartments, and full-time or live-in helpers for larger homes and families with children or elderly parents. Most helpers serving Old Delhi also cover Daryaganj and Civil Lines, so slots can be combined across neighbouring homes.
Where a society gate is involved we arrange the helper's ID and entry pass before the first day; in independent homes timings are more flexible.
Homes and helpers in Old Delhi
Housing is dense and old — havelis, katras and walk-ups with shared entrances rather than society gates — so helpers are engaged directly by families, and joint households often need help across multiple floors of one building.

Frequently asked questions
Do you serve homes in the inner lanes of Chandni Chowk?
Yes, homes in the katras and lanes off Chandni Chowk under pincode 110006 are covered. Helpers reach them on foot from the Chandni Chowk or Chawri Bazar metro stations, since vehicle access inside the lanes is limited.
Which pincode does Old Delhi service cover?
Old Delhi falls under pincode 110006, covering Chandni Chowk and the surrounding lanes between the Red Fort side and the Khari Baoli end. Adjacent Daryaganj has its own pincode, 110002.
Which areas near Old Delhi do you also serve?
Daryaganj directly adjoins Old Delhi to the south, with Paharganj just across the railway line and Civil Lines to the north. Connaught Place and Karol Bagh are also within a short metro ride for helpers working in this belt.
My area has both flats and independent houses. Does that change how helpers are placed?
In mixed neighbourhoods the entry process depends on your building: apartment complexes may need a gate pass or visitor-app registration, while independent houses and small buildings usually do not. Let us know which type you live in when booking so the helper is briefed on any entry formalities in advance.
Which parts of Delhi does MyBuddyMaid cover?
Coverage is organised into eight zones: Central Delhi, South Delhi, South West Delhi, West Delhi, North Delhi, North West Delhi, East Delhi and North East Delhi. Each zone page lists the individual localities inside it, from Connaught Place and Karol Bagh in the centre to Rohini, Narela and Bawana in the north-west.
Is New Delhi covered, or only Delhi?
New Delhi is treated as part of the Delhi coverage area on this site. Localities such as Connaught Place, Lodi Road and Chanakyapuri that fall in the New Delhi district are listed under the Central Delhi and South Delhi zones.
Are the helpers verified?
Yes. Every helper's documents are checked and background verification is completed before they are placed with a household. Helper details are kept on record, and you can ask about a profile's verification status before the interview.
