It will also act as agents and assist in all business and personal matters including personal and family emergencies. All these services will be provided at a fee of US$ 40 per month with an additional US$500 refundable deposit.
Another service the company is providing is ancillary services like basic plumbing, electrical work, running errands for busy executives, or retired people. These activities include banking, paying telephone, electricity and water bills doing grocery shopping, delivering and collecting gas cylinders, laundry or medicines at a fee of Rs.1,000 per month plus Rs. 400 per minimum two hour stint, he said.
