Frequently Asked Questions
Clear, honest answers about how BEKUU works for customers and independent professionals in Belagavi.
About the Platform & Services
What is BEKUU?
BEKUU is a hyperlocal digital marketplace connecting residents in Belagavi with independent, vetted home service professionals including electricians, plumbers, appliance technicians, and handymen.
How does BEKUU differ from other service apps?
BEKUU is an open, transparent marketplace. Independent professionals set their own prices rather than working under fixed platform wages. Customers can compare specialist rates, review profiles, and must explicitly approve any extra work proposals before additional charges are incurred.
Where is BEKUU currently available?
BEKUU is launching its initial services in Belagavi, Karnataka, India.
Pricing, Estimates & Extra Work
How do I book a service specialist?
Open the BEKUU customer app, choose your service category or describe what needs fixing (in English or Kannada), review available local specialists and their rates, select a convenient date and time, and confirm your request.
What is the difference between Fixed Price and Estimate?
Fixed Price services have a guaranteed, upfront service rate for standard jobs with predictable scope (e.g. installing a ceiling fan). Starting Estimates apply to exploratory diagnosis or complex repairs where on-site inspection is required before the full scope can be determined.
What happens if a technician finds extra repairs needed on-site?
The specialist must submit a digital Extra Work proposal in the app detailing the additional labor and parts needed. You review the proposal and tap approve or decline. Work only proceeds if you explicitly approve it.
For Independent Professionals
How do I join as a BEKUU Partner?
Download the official BEKUU Partner app, create your trade profile, set your custom service rates, and upload your Government ID and trade credentials for administrative KYC verification.
Does BEKUU employ service professionals?
No. Specialists on BEKUU Partner are independent business owners and tradesmen. BEKUU does not dictate their hours, set their rates, or act as an employer.
How long does account approval take?
Verification documents are reviewed by our administration team within 24 to 48 business hours.
Cancellations, Refunds & Account Safety
Can I cancel a booking if my plans change?
Yes, while your booking is in the Requested stage (before a specialist confirms and accepts it), you can cancel directly in the app without any fee. Once a specialist confirms and accepts the booking, direct self-service cancellation in the app is closed, and you must coordinate with the specialist or reach out to Support for review under applicable policies.
How are refunds processed?
Where an advance digital payment was captured and a cancellation or dispute is approved under platform policy, refunds are initiated via our payment gateway (Razorpay) back to your original payment method. Settlement timing depends on the payment method and your issuing bank's standard banking cycles.
How can I delete my account and personal data?
You can request permanent account and data deletion by emailing privacy@bekuu.in from your registered email address. For full details on verification, data purges, and statutory record retention, visit our Account and Data Deletion page.
