Executive Key Takeaways

  • 1Mid-month move-ins require exact daily pro-rata calculations (`Monthly Rent / Days in Month * Days Occupied`) to prevent overcharging disputes.
  • 2Inputting monthly submeter readings into PG Master automatically calculates exact per-unit consumption based on state electricity board slabs.

Eliminating Arithmetic Errors in Shared AC Rooms

Air-conditioned rooms in cities like Chennai, Delhi, and Ahmedabad consume significant power during summer months. When four residents share an AC room with one submeter, splitting the bill based on days present requires exact daily consumption tracking. PG Master allows wardens to enter meter readings directly. The software divides units accurately even if one roommate moved out mid-month, ensuring 100% fair and transparent utility billing.
