PG vs Flat Comparison FAQ
Living in an all-inclusive Girls PG is significantly cheaper. While a rented flat may show a bare rent of ₹7,000, adding cook charges (₹3,500), electricity bills (₹2,000), maid salary (₹1,200), and Wi-Fi (₹1,100) pushes the true monthly cost to ₹14,800+. An all-inclusive PG covers all these services under one predictable rent (₹8,000–₹11,000/month).
Major hidden flat expenses include 1 month non-refundable brokerage fee (₹7,000–₹12,000), 2-3 months advance security deposit (₹20,000+), gas cylinder refills, cook salary, maid fees, AC electricity bills, RO water maintenance, and society maintenance charges.
Parents prefer Girls PG for 24/7 CCTV surveillance, gated security, on-site resident female caretaker, 3 daily hygienic meals without managing cooks, zero landlord hassles, and proximity to major colleges like GLS, CEPT, and Gujarat University in Navrangpura.
