Frequently askedquestions
Everything about joining, viewing ads, building a team and getting paid.
How much does it cost to join Zest Ads?+
₹351 as a one-time lifetime activation. There is no renewal fee, no monthly charge and no compulsory upgrade.
How does the joining PIN system work?+
Every new ID is activated with a joining PIN worth ₹351. PINs are generated only by the company (admin) and issued into a member's PIN wallet. A member can transfer unused PINs to members inside their own team, and each PIN activates exactly one ID and is then marked used permanently. At signup you must enter a valid unused PIN along with your sponsor ID.
How many ads will I get each day?+
Normally 4 to 5 advertisements per day, Monday to Friday. Saturday and Sunday are holidays. Each ad pays ₹0.50 and total ad-viewing income is fixed at ₹50 per month — the system releases exactly the number of ads needed so the month ends on ₹50, no more and no less.
How does the 2×50 matrix work?+
Each member has two positions directly beneath them. You can introduce unlimited people, and each new joining is auto-placed in the first vacant position in your team. Extra referrals spill over into your downline, which also helps members below you.
What is referral income?+
₹150 is paid to the introducer for every person they personally join, no matter where that person gets placed in the matrix.
What is level income?+
₹3 per ID is paid to each upline above the position where a new ID is placed, across all 50 levels.
What is the difference between working and non-working income?+
Working income is referral income plus level income. Non-working income is what you earn from viewing advertisements.
What happens if I have not completed 2 direct referrals yet?+
Your referral and level income keeps getting credited to a held balance, but it cannot be withdrawn. The moment you complete your 2 direct referrals, the full held amount is released to your working income wallet. Important: the 2 directs must be completed within 90 days of your ID activation. If 90 days pass without 2 directs, the held amount becomes zero permanently. You can still complete 2 directs later — from that point onwards your working income is payable again, but the expired amount is not restored.
When do I get paid?+
Working income is paid weekly, with a minimum payout of ₹250 and a requirement of at least 2 direct referrals. Ad-viewing income is paid monthly with a minimum of ₹50.
What deductions apply?+
All withdrawals — working income and ad income — carry a total 15% deduction: 5% TDS and 10% maintenance fee.
How long does ad-viewing income continue?+
Ad viewing and ad-viewing income are available for 15 months from the date your ID is activated. After 15 months the ad wallet stops earning, while your member ID and team income remain lifetime.
Can I advertise my own business?+
Yes. Members can book advertisements from inside their member ID, and outside businesses can book through the advertiser portal. Every creative is reviewed by admin before going live.
Is income guaranteed?+
No. Ad income depends on the advertisements available and completed genuinely by you; team income depends on the members you introduce and their activation.
