In India, this is a long and cumbersome process with permissions required from our Central Bank, hence we would request that this be avoided to the extent possible.

At the time of moving in, your Relationship Manager shall provide you with a Welcome Kit/ House Manual, which provides significant data about your stay and the house itself. Information about door codes / keys, Wi-Fi password, parking (if appropriate), mailers, attachments and equipment, contact details and escalation matrix, outsourced laundry charges etc. will be included in the House Manual.
