520 _aCycle rickshaws form an important mode of informal transport offering valuable service in metro cities and towns. Cycle rickshaws are considered eco- friendly, user-friendly and cost-efficient, convenient form of transport for short-distance travel. This study is based on an empirical work of cycle rickshaw pullers who form a huge proportion of urban migrants in Delhi. It intends to know about the financial behaviour of cycle rickshaw pullers for a better understanding of their needs and requirements, their choices and challenges and the constraints faced by them in managing their money and livelihoods. The book discusses the earnings, costs and expenses, saving and borrowing behaviour, strategies used in coping with crisis and emergencies and the remittance behaviour of rickshaw pullers.
