Q: What is Encharge?
A: Encharge is India's leading prepaid electricity platform for PG, hostel, and co-living operators. Smart room-wise meters, app recharge, 100% electricity bill collection, and auto settlement to owners—so kiraya tenants pay for bijli before use and operators stop chasing dues.

Q: Does Encharge handle PG rent collection?
A: Encharge focuses on electricity and utility billing—the bijli line item operators struggle to collect. Tenants recharge prepaid wallets for room-wise usage; owners get settlement reports. For full kiraya (rent) ledgers, pair Encharge with your rent process; Encharge ensures electricity is never the unpaid utility.

Q: How to collect PG rent and electricity bills together?
A: Many PGs bundle rent and electricity or collect both monthly—electricity is where disputes and leakage hurt most. Encharge automates the electricity side: prepaid submeters, tenant app recharge, and owner settlement. Operators report smoother overall collection when bijli is prepaid even if kiraya is collected separately.

Q: What is a prepaid electricity meter?
A: A prepaid electricity meter (often a prepaid submeter) deducts units as you use power after you recharge a wallet or buy credits. It is different from a typical utility postpaid meter where one monthly DISCOM bill covers the whole connection. Encharge pairs smart prepaid meters with app-based recharge and room-wise tracking for PGs, hostels, and co-living—tenants pay before use and owners get predictable collection.

Q: How is a smart prepaid meter different from a normal electricity meter?
A: A normal meter on a single home connection usually feeds one postpaid bill from the electricity company. A smart prepaid meter—especially as a room or submeter—connects to software so usage, recharge, and alerts are visible in real time. Encharge is built for that flow: prepaid electricity, auto settlement to the owner, and transparency per room instead of guesswork on a shared bill.
