⬅ Back to Jobs Everything you need to submit for your warehouse job application. Aadhaar, PAN, 10th marks card, bank details, photos, and medical certificate — with practical tips for each.
Your documents can make or break your Flipkart warehouse job application. We've seen candidates get their joining letter delayed for weeks just because of a small document issue. And we've seen others get hired in 48 hours because they had everything ready.
This guide covers every single document you need, what to do if something is missing, and how to fix common problems. Whether you have all your papers or you need to arrange some, this checklist will help you get ready.
The Flipkart warehouse hiring process moves fast. If you apply today, HR might call you tomorrow for document verification. Being prepared means you don't miss that opportunity.
Let's start with the most important document first.
Here's every document you need for a Flipkart warehouse job. Keep this list handy when you prepare your documents.
Now let's go through each one in detail. We'll cover what's needed, common problems, and practical solutions so nothing catches you off guard.
Your Aadhaar card is the most important document for any Flipkart warehouse job. Without it, your application cannot move forward. Here's why:
Bring the original Aadhaar card plus 2 photocopies. Make sure the photocopies are clear and all details are readable. Both sides are not needed — just the front side with your photo and details.
This is a common problem. Maybe your name on the 10th marks card is slightly different from your Aadhaar. Or there's a spelling mistake. Here's what to do:
Don't panic. Getting a duplicate Aadhaar is easy:
Pro tip: Save a scanned copy of your Aadhaar on your phone and email it to yourself. Keep a printout in your bag at all times during the job application process.
Your PAN card is needed mainly for PF (Provident Fund) registration. Every Flipkart warehouse employee gets PF benefits, and the system requires a PAN to process contributions. Even if you don't plan to stay long, PF is mandatory for all employees.
A photocopy of your PAN card is sufficient. But keep the original handy in case HR wants to verify. If you have an e-PAN (digital version downloaded from the Income Tax website), print it out on A4 paper — it is legally valid.
Here's how to apply for one online — it's completely free:
But here's the good news: some Flipkart facilities allow you to submit PAN later. If your PAN application is in process, show HR the acknowledgment receipt. They may accept it and let you start work. Ask HR about this option during your screening call.
Doesn't matter. PAN is not just for filing taxes — it's an identity document used for PF registration. Everyone above 18 should have a PAN card even if they have never filed a tax return. Apply for one before your document verification appointment.
You need proof of your minimum educational qualification. For Flipkart warehouse jobs, 10th pass is required. Your 10th marks card or passing certificate is the document that proves this. Even if you studied beyond 10th (12th, degree, diploma), you still need to submit your 10th marks card.
Bring the original marks card plus 1 photocopy. If you have a passing certificate instead of a marks card, that works too. Some candidates submit a provisional certificate issued by their board — this is also accepted.
Losing your 10th marks card is stressful, but fixable. Here are your options:
Pro tip: If you still have a scanned copy or a clear photo of your old marks card on your phone, show it to HR. In some cases, they accept a self-attested photocopy and process your application while you arrange the original.
Most Flipkart warehouse jobs require minimum 10th pass. However, some third-party staffing agencies have slightly relaxed rules. Check with HR — they can tell you if there's an option for you. You can also consider applying for fresher-friendly positions that may have different requirements.
Your salary needs a place to go. An active bank account in your name is required for direct salary credit. Flipkart pays through bank transfer — no cash payments. Having the right bank details ready speeds up your joining.
This is the easiest document to arrange. Here's how to open a zero balance account fast:
Pro tip: If you already have an account but it's not in Bangalore (you have an account in your hometown), that's fine. Salary can be credited to any bank account in India. You don't need a Bangalore bank account.
The bank account must be in your name. Joint accounts are okay as long as you are the primary holder. A family member's account will not work — HR strictly checks that the account name matches your Aadhaar and application.
Simple but often overlooked. You need recent passport-size photos for your employee ID card, facility access pass, and HR file. Getting this wrong can cause delays on your first day.
Keep 5-6 passport-size photos ready. Here's where they go:
Pro tip: Get your photos taken at a local photo studio — costs Rs 100-200 for 6-8 prints. Tell them it's for a "job application" and they'll do the correct format automatically. Also ask for a digital copy on your phone — you may need to upload it during online application.
Warehouse work involves standing, walking, lifting, and moving for 8-9 hours. Flipkart needs a medical certificate confirming you are physically fit for this type of work. It's a standard requirement and not something to worry about.
The certificate should be on the doctor's letterhead or clinic letterhead and include:
There is no specific government format. A simple certificate from any registered doctor is acceptable.
Be honest about it. Minor issues like:
These do not disqualify you. The doctor will mention them in the certificate but still declare you fit for work. The only conditions that might cause issues are serious ones like heart problems, spine issues, or recent major surgeries. Even then, it depends on the specific role you are applying for.
Do not hide a medical condition. If you get injured on the job because of a pre-existing condition, it creates problems for both you and the company.
Your Aadhaar card already serves as address proof in most cases. But if your current address is different from the one on your Aadhaar, you need a separate address proof. This is common for candidates who have moved to Bangalore for work.
If you plan to stay at your current address long-term, update your Aadhaar address. You can do this online on the UIDAI website using valid address proof. It's free and takes 15-20 days. Once updated, your Aadhaar will serve as address proof for everything.
But if you just moved to Bangalore and don't have any of the above documents, here's a workaround: get a self-declaration on stamp paper stating your current address. Some HR teams accept this along with a letter from your landlord (notarized). Ask HR before your document verification appointment about what exactly they accept.
If you belong to SC, ST, or OBC category, carrying your caste certificate can help you access certain benefits. Flipkart follows government guidelines on reservations and some staffing agencies give preference to reserved category candidates.
Not all facilities ask for this, but having it ready doesn't hurt. If you have a caste certificate issued by the state government or a competent authority, carry a photocopy. If you don't have one, it does not affect your application — it's purely additional.
If you have worked before, Flipkart may ask for documents from your previous job. This is more important if you were employed with another company before applying. Here's what you might need:
This is very common for daily wage workers or people who worked in unorganized sectors. If you don't have any previous employer documents, it's not a problem. Just tell HR you are fresh or your previous work was not documented. Flipkart hires plenty of people with no formal work history.
If you left your previous job on bad terms and can't get a relieving letter, tell HR the situation honestly. In most cases, it does not block your application for warehouse associate roles.
Note: If you are currently employed somewhere, do not resign before getting your Flipkart joining letter. Wait until everything is confirmed. Check the Flipkart salary guide to compare your current pay with what Flipkart offers before making the switch.
Even with the best preparation, document issues come up. Here are the most common problems candidates face and how to solve them:
Your Aadhaar says "Sunil Kumar," your 10th marks card says "Sunil K," and your PAN says "Sunil Kumar S." Small spelling differences are the number one issue candidates face.
Solution: Get a name declaration affidavit on Rs 10-20 stamp paper. A notary public can prepare this for Rs 100-200. The affidavit states that all these names belong to the same person. It includes your photo and the names exactly as they appear on different documents. Most HR teams accept this affidavit as a bridging document.
Your Aadhaar is torn, your PAN is faded, your marks card has water damage. Physical damage makes documents look suspicious to HR.
Solution: For Aadhaar, download a fresh copy from the UIDAI website. For PAN, apply for a reprint on the NSDL website (costs around Rs 100). For the 10th marks card, get a duplicate from your board. Until the replacements arrive, carry the damaged originals and a self-declaration explaining the damage.
You don't have a bank account, or you lost your chequebook, or your passbook is outdated.
Solution: Open a zero balance account at SBI or Canara Bank — same day. If your chequebook is lost, visit your bank branch, write a letter requesting a new chequebook, and ask for a bank statement with complete details (name, account number, IFSC code, branch name) to submit to HR instead of a cancelled cheque.
Solution: Visit the nearest government hospital or primary health center (PHC). The medical checkup is very cheap (Rs 50-100) or sometimes free. Alternatively, wait for the facility's in-house medical test — Flipkart arranges this for all new hires at no cost. The certificate issued by the facility's doctor is accepted directly.
You left a previous job but they haven't returned your original documents yet.
Solution: This is illegal — no employer can keep your original documents. Send a written request (email or letter) asking for your documents back. If they don't respond, self-attested photocopies are usually accepted. For the PF transfer, you can use the UAN portal to transfer your PF without original documents.
Many people in South India have single-name Aadhaar cards. This sometimes causes issues when other documents have a full name.
Solution: Get an affidavit stating that [Full Name] and [Single Name on Aadhaar] are the same person. This is a simple notarized document. If you want to update your Aadhaar name to include your surname, visit the UIDAI website and submit a name correction request with valid proof.
Here's exactly what happens during document verification at Flipkart warehouses. Knowing the process takes the stress out of the experience.
After your initial screening call, HR sends you a list of required documents via WhatsApp or email. This usually includes a link where you can upload scanned copies. If you are visiting the facility in person, they will tell you what originals to bring.
You can submit documents in two ways:
HR checks each document for:
This takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 24 hours depending on how busy HR is.
You receive a message confirming your documents are verified. If any document has an issue, HR tells you exactly what's wrong and what to do next. They don't reject you outright — they give you time to fix the problem.
Once documents are verified, your joining letter is sent within 48 hours. This is the final step of the Flipkart warehouse hiring process. You can then report to the facility on the given date.
This is the number one fear candidates have. Let's be clear: you don't lose your job offer if documents are incomplete. Here's what actually happens:
The bottom line: Don't let document fear stop you from applying. Apply first. Talk to HR. They will tell you exactly what's needed and help you with the process. Thousands of candidates with all kinds of document situations get hired every month.
If you're still unsure about your documents, talk to us on WhatsApp. We help candidates prepare their document checklist before they apply.
You need only the basic documents:
That's it. No experience letter, no relieving letter, no salary slips. Flipkart hires a lot of freshers for warehouse jobs and the document requirement is minimal.
You need all the basic documents plus:
Don't worry if you don't have these — they are not mandatory for warehouse associate roles. They just help HR process your application faster and handle PF transfer smoothly.
If you have an in-person interview or document verification appointment at the facility, here's exactly what to carry in your bag. Double-check everything the night before:
If you are going for the interview without full documents, still go. Many facilities do the interview first and give you time to arrange documents later. Not having all documents should not stop you from attending the interview. Check the Flipkart warehouse interview questions guide to prepare for what they will ask.
Just as important as knowing what you need is knowing what you don't need. Here are documents some candidates unnecessarily worry about:
Carrying extra documents doesn't hurt, but don't stress if you don't have them. Stick to the required list and you will be fine.
Flipkart has moved to a largely digital verification process for initial screening. Here's how it works:
Pro tip: Even if you submit documents online, keep physical copies ready. You never know when you might need to show originals at short notice.
Everybody's document situation is different. You might have a specific issue that this guide doesn't cover — maybe you lost your Aadhaar and can't download it, or your school has closed and you can't get a duplicate marks card. These things happen, and there's usually a way forward.
Contact us on WhatsApp with your specific situation and we'll guide you. We help candidates sort out their documents every day. Sometimes a quick conversation is all it takes to find the solution.
And if you're ready to apply, don't wait until all your documents are 100% perfect. Apply first, sort documents later. HR will tell you exactly what they need and give you time to arrange everything.
You need Aadhaar card, PAN card, 10th marks card or passing certificate, bank account details with IFSC code, 5-6 passport-size photos, medical fitness certificate, and address proof if your current address is different from the one on your Aadhaar. For the complete step-by-step process, read our Flipkart warehouse hiring process guide.
Yes, Aadhaar card is mandatory. Flipkart uses it for background verification and ESIC registration. Original and one photocopy are required. If your Aadhaar is lost, you can download a duplicate from the UIDAI website or visit an Aadhaar enrollment center to get a reprint.
Apply for a duplicate marks card from your school or education board. Most boards have online portals where you can request a duplicate by paying a small fee (Rs 300-800). The duplicate arrives within 15-30 days. In the meantime, a self-attested photocopy or an affidavit may work temporarily — ask HR.
PAN is required for PF registration, but some Flipkart facilities allow you to submit it later while starting work with other documents. You can apply for a free PAN card online on the NSDL or UTIITSL website. It takes 15-20 days to receive the physical card. Check with HR about submitting PAN later.
Any active bank account in your name works. You must provide account number, IFSC code, and a cancelled cheque or passbook copy. If you don't have an account, open a zero-balance savings account at SBI, Canara Bank, or PNB. Most accounts can be opened in 1-2 hours with just your Aadhaar and PAN.
Keep 5-6 recent passport-size photos with a white background. These are used for your employee ID card, facility access pass, and HR records. Photos should be clear, well-lit, and taken within the last 1-2 months. Avoid coloured backgrounds or photos with shadows.
Any registered MBBS doctor can issue a medical fitness certificate. Visit a local clinic or government hospital. The doctor will check your vitals and issue a certificate on their letterhead stating you are fit for physical work. Cost is Rs 50-300. Many Flipkart facilities also have an in-house doctor who handles this.
Your joining gets delayed, not cancelled. HR will send you a list of missing documents and give you 7-15 days to arrange them. Some facilities allow provisional joining with basic documents if you submit the rest within 30 days. Talk to HR — they will guide you on what to do.
You now have the complete document checklist. Gather your papers, check each item off the list, and submit your application. HR will guide you through the rest. Thousands of candidates with all kinds of document situations get hired every month — you can too.
