How are the Electricity Bill Charges calculated?
Electricity bills have different billing cycles for every property. People move in and move out on a daily basis therefore matching that to the exact billing date of the electricity bill makes it a complex process. To make it simple we only consider the billing month mentioned on the cycle and not the exact dates. The amount is split monthly irrespective of how many days the occupant stayed during the month.
Which electricity bill am I paying for in every Invoice?
Electricity bill amount is post-facto which means that the electricity bill is generated after usage of that particular month. We therefore add the charges to your invoice after receiving the same. For eg. The electricity bill for April is usually generated & delivered by May. We make the payments for the same on your behalf in May and then add it to your May month’s Invoice and likewise.
What if the electricity bill is not generated when I vacate?
In that case the last 3 month’s average will be used as a base to arrive at the amount which will be divided equally among all tenants to arrive at your share of the bill and we add ₹ 100 to the base ebill to be on safer side, once we receive the actual bill then we refund the difference if any.
What deductions will be there from the security deposit?
Once you vacate the property our staff will do a thorough exit inspection to ensure the house is handed over in the same state that it was given to you.

Be assured there will not be any deductions unless any dues are payable. The deposit will be refunded in 3-5 weeks from the last day after peaceful handover of the property & keys.
I am a current tenant but I need to know now how much security deposit will be refunded when I exit?
The full & final payment calculation will happen only after the exit basis the exit inspection. Damages, Penalties & Pending Bills will be deducted if and where applicable. If there are no dues pending, the full deposit will be refunded in 3-5 weeks from the last day of stay.
