Identity Verification Notice

Baasthan Stays requires identity verification to administer reservations, confirm the identity and number of occupants, maintain property security, and meet applicable legal registration and reporting obligations. This notice applies to the primary booking guest, other occupants, and visitors where verification is required by law or approved property procedures.

All occupants must provide the information or identification reasonably required for verification before or at check-in. • Room bookings: All occupants of the booked room. • Entire-property bookings: All occupants of the property, up to the confirmed maximum of seven guests. • Visitors: Identification or registration details may be required where legally necessary or as part of approved visitor-access procedures. • Minors: Verification and registration will be handled through a parent, guardian, or responsible adult, as appropriate and permitted by law. The primary booking guest is responsible for ensuring that all occupants cooperate with the applicable check-in process.

Guests may be asked to present a valid government-issued photo identity document suitable for the applicable verification purpose. Depending on the circumstances and legal requirements, acceptable documents may include a passport, driving licence, voter identity card, or another valid government-issued identity document. Aadhaar may be offered where appropriate, but guests should not assume that providing Aadhaar is mandatory in every case. Where Aadhaar is used, applicable restrictions on requesting, collecting, storing, and using Aadhaar information will be followed. A suitable alternative may be accepted where permitted. Management may request additional information where a particular legal reporting obligation applies.

Foreign nationals must provide the travel and identity information required by applicable Indian law. Where registration or reporting to the relevant authorities is required, including any applicable Form C or related reporting obligations, guests must reasonably cooperate and provide the required details within the prescribed process and timeline. Any applicable reporting obligation will be assessed according to the guest's status and the rules in force at the time.

Verification may involve: • Reviewing the presented identity document. • Matching the guest's identity to the reservation and declared occupancy. • Recording the minimum necessary details for lawful registration and booking administration. • Completing any additional legally required registration or reporting. • Confirming that the occupants comply with the property's approved occupancy limits. Identity verification does not itself guarantee that a reservation is valid if other booking requirements remain incomplete.

Identity information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law. We aim to collect only the information reasonably necessary for verification and legal compliance. We will not routinely retain full identity-document copies where recording the necessary details is sufficient and no lawful requirement or other valid basis requires a copy. Access to identity information will be restricted to authorised personnel and service providers who need it for legitimate purposes. Information will be retained only for the applicable period and securely disposed of when no longer required, subject to lawful retention obligations.

Where a guest refuses to complete verification that is legally required or reasonably necessary under the disclosed booking conditions, Baasthan Stays may delay check-in or decline access until the issue is resolved. Where accommodation must be refused because a legal requirement cannot be satisfied, any cancellation or refund will be handled under the applicable booking terms and law. No refusal or forfeiture is intended to override a mandatory consumer right or other legal protection. Guests should contact management in advance if they are unsure which documents are acceptable.
