RERA compliance guide

RERA configuration (organization-wide)

Every organization has one RERA configuration, managed from Settings → RERA Config. It controls how construction progress rolls up for every project in the org:

• RERA categories — the standard construction stages RERA expects you to report on (excavation, plinth, superstructure, internal works, sanitary fittings, staircases/lifts/lobbies, external works, and finishing/installation). You can reorder them and rename their display labels for your organization, but the underlying codes stay fixed because payment triggers and progress data are wired to them.
• Scope weights — a slider that sets how much building-level progress versus phase-level infrastructure (roads, common amenities, etc.) contributes to a phase's overall completion percentage. The two must always add up to 100%.

Note: Changing categories or weights here affects progress calculations org-wide, not just one project. Use Reset to Defaults if you want to undo customizations and return to the standard RERA set.

Quarterly progress reports

Each phase has its own Reports section (open a phase, then Reports) for generating point-in-time progress snapshots — the kind of record RERA-registered projects need for quarterly filings:

1. Choose the quarter and year, then Generate Report.
2. The report captures a stage-completion breakdown and a building-by-building summary as of that moment, starts in Draft status, and can carry your own notes.
3. Review and finalize the report when it's ready — finalized reports move out of draft so the numbers are locked for that period.
4. Export Excel downloads the report at any time for sharing with your RERA consultant or uploading to the state portal.
5. Draft reports can still be deleted if generated by mistake; finalized ones are kept as your compliance record.

Statutory approvals (OC, CC, and other certificates)

Statutory approvals are the regulatory certificates a project needs from local authorities — Commencement Certificate (CC), Occupancy Certificate (OC) and Part OC, Completion Certificate, Fire NOC, Environmental Clearance, Plan Sanction, and Structural Stability Certificate. Each project keeps its own list, with every approval linked to a phase (and optionally a building).

For each approval you can record:

• Approval type, the phase it applies to, and the issuing authority
• Application number and applied date
• A forecast grant date — if this passes without the approval being granted, it's flagged as overdue
• Once granted: granted date, certificate number, and how long it's valid for
• Free-text notes, plus a status history showing every stage the approval has moved through (Not Started → Applied → Under Review → Queries Raised → Granted/Rejected/Expired)

Tip: Filter the approvals list by status or type, or turn on Overdue only, to quickly see what's stuck past its forecast date — useful going into a RERA filing or an OC application review.

Progress approvals (reviewing reported progress)

Separate from certificates, progress approvals are about your own internal reporting: some construction activities are configured to require a second person's sign-off before a completed status actually counts toward the project's progress percentage. This is meant for milestones sensitive enough that one person marking them "done" isn't enough on its own.

When a site engineer marks a flagged activity complete, it goes into a Progress Approvals queue instead of updating progress immediately. A reviewer sees the activity, its category, any photos attached (including whether they carry GPS location data), and who submitted it — the person who submitted a request cannot approve their own submission. The reviewer can:

• Approve it, which then counts toward progress
• Reject it with a reason, which the submitter sees

You'll find a phase's pending items on that phase's Progress Approvals queue, and an organization-wide Approvals list that rolls up everything pending review across all your projects, so a reviewer doesn't have to check every project individually.

Where this fits together

Progress approvals keep your day-to-day progress numbers trustworthy; that trustworthy progress data is what feeds your quarterly reports and the underlying construction progress tracking. Statutory approvals track the separate regulatory paperwork (OC/CC and similar) that gates possession and final payment tranches.
