party20091

One of the most rewarding experiences of the ApartmentAdda team is a customer Demo. Presenting the portal     to the customer, seeing their delight at finally finding an answer to their problems, are the best hours in the workweek! The typical demos are on weekends and we promise people the Demo will be fun – and boy! are they fun! Below are a few quotes from these demos – stuff that keeps the “Adda” spirit alive and a kickin’!

I am thinking so hard to find a feature you guys don’t have..

Can you make the email to maintenance-fee defaulters pop out a hand from the screen and punch them- POWW!?

We gave up on our spreadsheets and almost started creating our own software, thank God we found you!

Complaint Box?? Can you disable it – my residents will flood it!
From the facility manager, true to his expectation, within 10 minutes of his Adda being activated, there were 6 complaints lodged! However, he now takes pride in keeping his complaint inbox empty.

It is the BANGLA ‘Aadda’, not your UP ka ‘Addaa’
One MC member (presumably Bengali) to the other, while taking their guess on the meaning of Adda

Wow! Who wrote the requirements?!

Rs.100 per flat..Okay… And..?

When I heard the name Adda, I thought oh another fun’n'frolick site.. but then i saw the features and realized it was a full-fledged application!

Anna, look there’s your sheet..! Take it and hug it!
An MC member to the treasurer – on seeing the color-coded budget page.

Bangalore Property Registration made easy

Most Aparegistrationrtment owners in Bangalore are a little too familiar with the pains of obtaining a BBMP Khata (Khatha). Without the Khata the apartment is difficult to sell. There are many complications, specific to each builder, in the process of getting a BBMP Khata for the individual apartment.  In cases, where the builder holds a CMC or other non-BBMP Khata, then the ball lies in his court to obtain the BBMP Khata. In most newly occupied apartment complexes, the Apartment Owners’ Association pursue the BBMP Khata conversion, in cooperation with the Builder.

There seems to be possibility of a relief with the Karnataka Government including Khatas other than BBMP in the list of acceptable documents for property registration! This means that an individual owner can proceed with the apartment sale if he has the CMC/TMC/Panchayat or other official Khata. The process of obtaining BBMP Khata can continue in parallel.

This information is in the newspapers but not on the BBMP website yet. Please see the news article here: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/news/city/bangalore/Register-property-with-alternative-documents/articleshow/4908692.cms

FAQ on your Adda’s Payment Gateway

Below is a list of FAQs on ApartmentAdda Payment Gateway Integration.

Q1. Does ApartmentADDA have access to or store the Bank/Credit Card details of the Payer

A. No. Once the Payer enters the Payment Gateway, ApartmentADDA does not have any access to the data being provided by him. ApartmentADDA only receives a Success/Failure input from the Payment Gateway, based on which it generates the Receipt.

Q2. Will the money be transferred from the Resident directly to the Association’s bank by the Gateway?

A. No. The gateway transfers money from multiple sources (Residents) to one target (a designated bank account, NOT controlled by ApartmentADDA – per RBI guidelines). This Designated Bank then transfers respective Amounts to the Association Banks, per pre-configured instructions.

Q4. What is the charge for utilizing the Payment Gateway

A. The Association pays a one-time fee for the Payment Gateway, along with a yearly maintenance cost. The latter amount is not applicable to our existing Premium customers. There is no transaction cost for the Association.

The resident while utilizing the Payment Gateway pays a nominal convenience charge per transaction.

Q5. Residents need to pay with confidence that the Association has authorized ApartmentAdda to collect on behalf. How do you ensure that.

A. ApartmentADDA will execute an Agreement with the Association, wherein the Association authorizes ApartmentADDA to collect on behalf. This Agreement along with the insignia of the Association will be made available for reference of the Residents on the Online Payment screen.

Q6. After making the payment when will the Resident get the confirmation/Receipt

A. Once the Resident’s online transaction successfully completes, an instant e-receipt will be generated by ApartmentADDA.

The Receipt will be available on his Account Statement on your ApartmentADDA.

Q8. Will Treasurer/appropriate Authority get email alert for online payments made?
