Know someone searching for a PG? Or know a PG owner who wants more genuine enquiries? The NiwasNest Partner Program lets eligible partners refer both residents and property owners—and earn rewards when referrals lead to qualifying results.
There are two ways to earn: ₹300 for an eligible customer booking through your referral, or ₹500 for each qualifying booking from a PG you refer, for that PG’s first 10 eligible bookings—up to ₹5,000 per referred PG.
Visit NiwasNest and find the Partner Program (on the homepage, scroll to “Partner Program” and select “Become a Partner”). Read the current partner terms before sharing links.
What is the NiwasNest Partner Program?
NiwasNest helps people discover PG and hostel accommodation. Its Partner Program is designed for students, working professionals, creators, community members and others who can connect people looking for a place to stay with accommodation options—or introduce PG owners who want to reach prospective residents.
You do not need to be a full-time influencer to share a referral. The important part is to make genuine, useful introductions, use your assigned partner link, and follow the program rules. A post, click or registration by itself does not guarantee a reward.
1. Refer a person who books a PG — earn ₹300
If someone in your network is looking for a PG, share your NiwasNest customer-referral link. If the person follows the eligible referral flow and completes a qualifying booking, you can earn ₹300 per eligible booking, subject to tracking and verification.
- Join the Partner Program and use the referral link assigned to you.
- Share the link with someone who genuinely needs accommodation.
- Encourage them to check the room details, total costs, house rules and terms before booking.
- The booking must be attributed to your referral and meet the current program’s qualification and verification requirements.
- Track the referral status and follow the payout instructions provided by NiwasNest.
2. Bring a PG owner to NiwasNest — earn up to ₹5,000 per PG
Know a PG or hostel owner? Introduce them to NiwasNest using your partner referral link. The owner’s property must complete the required onboarding and verification process and become live before it can generate qualifying bookings.
₹500 × the first 10 qualifying bookings = up to ₹5,000 per referred PG.
The reward is tied to eligible bookings—not simply to the owner signing up or submitting a property.
- Share your owner-referral link with a genuine PG or hostel owner.
- Help the owner understand the onboarding steps and submit accurate property information and real photos.
- The property must pass NiwasNest’s required checks and be approved/live.
- Each of the property’s first 10 bookings must independently qualify under the referral rules.
- NiwasNest verifies referral attribution and booking status before approving a reward.
Example: If one referred PG produces 10 qualifying bookings and all are approved, the partner could earn ₹5,000 for that PG. If only four bookings qualify, the reward would be ₹2,000. These examples are illustrative, not a promise of bookings or income.
Can one partner do both?
The program is presented around two earning routes: referring customers and bringing PG owners. You can promote the route that fits your network, and where your partner account provides both referral options, use the correct link for each activity. Rewards are assessed separately against the applicable rules; do not assume the same transaction qualifies twice or that rewards can be combined unless NiwasNest confirms it in the current terms.
Who can become a NiwasNest partner?
- Students and fresh graduates: Share accommodation options with classmates and new arrivals.
- Working professionals: Help colleagues or friends relocating for work.
- Creators and influencers: Make useful PG-search content and direct interested viewers to your tracked link.
- Community admins: Share relevant options in groups where promotional links are permitted.
- PG owners and local networks: Introduce other legitimate property owners who may benefit from the platform.
How to promote referrals responsibly
- Explain the reward and its conditions honestly. Do not promise guaranteed income or instant payouts.
- Use your assigned tracking link rather than copying someone else’s link.
- Share only accurate information about the property, rent, amenities and availability.
- Do not create fake leads, self-refer, duplicate property submissions or pressure people into bookings.
- Disclose that you may receive a referral reward when you recommend NiwasNest.
- Never claim a property is verified, safe or available unless that status is clearly confirmed and current.
When is a referral reward approved?
Referral rewards are subject to attribution, booking verification and the applicable partner terms. Cancelled, refunded, duplicate, fraudulent, self-referred or otherwise ineligible transactions may not qualify. For PG-owner referrals, registration alone is not enough: the property must complete onboarding and verification, go live and produce eligible bookings.
The exact payout schedule, attribution window, documentation requirements and any tax or identity checks must be confirmed in NiwasNest’s current partner terms or partner account. Do not assume that a reward is payable immediately after a click, registration or booking request.
Important information for PG owners
NiwasNest promotes free property listing, but referral rewards are separate from the commercial terms that apply to an owner’s successful booking. Owners should confirm the current written owner agreement and applicable charges directly before listing; terms may change.
