Decision to go ahead with ApnaComplex was one of the best we have taken

What better way to start a New Year than receiving words of praise and satisfaction from a customer! Its even more special if the customer has selected ApnaComplex after thorough evaluation with similar portals and have using it for more than nine months. Here is a solid testimonial for ApnaComplex from Mr. Shantanu Chaudary, Treasurer of Balaji Pristine Apartments, Bangalore

We did our evaluation on an online portal which brings in real value and was easy to use and zeroed in on Apnacomplex. I must also say while there are other portals too but the way ApnaComplex Team handles client does makes a difference. They make it easy for the client to take a decision.

Coming to the portal, I must say it has eased out the biggest pain area of treasury, raising bills, payments etc and I am sure will be of great value during the year end audit process. While we have not explored a lot of additional features to its potential, I must say the decision to go ahead with ApnaComplex was one of the best we have taken.

To top it all, the book keeping services has been a great value addition. Great going ApnaComplex Team. All the best.

Regards..Shantanu/Treasurer Balaji Pristine

Thank you Mr. Shantanu! We would continue to work towards adding more value in 2013 with all the inspiration we have now with your words!

ApnaComplex Management Tools Enhancement: Track Ownership History of every Flat/Villa

We have released a new tool as a part of Society Management Tool-set – ‘Ownership History’.

Resale of flats is a very common transaction in most housing societies and there is a need to track such re-sale or ownership change as it impacts the association member list. Quite a few societies charge the new owners a ‘Transfer Fees’.

ApnaComplex, the leading Apartment Management Software now has a new module just to track ownership changes. All along, ApnaComplex was able to track changes to resident data through the ‘Member Directory’ module. The new module exclusively focuses on Ownership Changes and to maintain the history of ownership of a given flat / villa.

Administrator can now add/delete/update Ownership Records to each flat. When adding a new Ownership Record, admin will have to enter the various new information like owner name, purchase / registration date and other information necessary to create the record. Any past dated or future dated records can be added as well. The system automatically considers the record with latest purchase date as the current owner. All records with past dates will continue to be there in the system and can looked up at any time.

Like with all other bulk upload features in ApnaComplex, Administrators can import data into the portal using an excel sheet (template provided) here as well! Makes life easy, doesn’t it?

Members will not be able to see these records and exclusive access is provided only to Administrators.

With the already existing features of Tenant Lease Management and ability to associate multiple documents to every flat / unit, the ownership tracking nicely fits into the society data management tool-set.

Head to Reports->Registers->Ownership Details to get started!

Accounting Enhancement: Service Tax for Non-Member Income

One more enhancement to our Housing Society Accounting Software! With recent Service Tax Regulations that came into effect from July 1st 2012 – most income earned by a Co-operative Housing Society has come under the ambit of Service Tax. Unlike the maintenance charges where Service Tax is applicable only if it exceeds Rupees Five Thousand per member per month – additional income that the society earns usually in form of renting out premises for commercial activities or promotions come under the ambit of Service Tax. (Please check with your auditor for exact interpretation of the regulations and if your society needs to collect Service Tax on all the income generated through sources other than members.)

While all along your favorite Housing Society Software – ApnaComplex – had the ability to record service tax collected with help of Journal entries, a much more easier and straight forward way is now supported in the Non-Member Income module. When adding new Non-Member Income entries, you can now explicitly specify service tax amount being collected from the third-party. This amount would automatically go into the Service Tax Payables core account. When the collected Service Tax is deposited to Government, you can record the same in the system under Expenditure->Vendor Payables->Pay Tax/TDS tab.

Admins can edit/revert/delete the Non-Member Income entries to change the service tax or other elements of the entry to rectify any mistakes.

The bulk upload feature for Non-Member Income also supports the service tax making it lot easier to import data into ApnaComplex.

In addition, admins can now update their PAN and Service Tax Registration numbers in Complex->Settings and these would automatically be reflected on all accounting vouchers.

Announcing Photo Gallery – Share Photos within the Society in ApnaComplex

We are happy to announce the launch of a new Photo Gallery Feature for Housing Socities on ApnaComplex as a part of the Community Collabaration Tools. Housing societies always have the need to share pictures of various community events such as cultural fests, Republic Day & Independence Day events, festival celebrations such as Holi, Diwali, Christmas, New Year.
Now, capture events of your society in pictures and upload them in ApnaComplex
Till now, members of Housing Societies had no option but to upload the photos to public photo sharing sites such as facebook, picassa, flikr and then share the url with the society members. With this approach, not only the photos are distributed across multiple sites and albums owned different members – it is not possible to restrict access to such public albums to only the society members as any one who knows the URL can access the photos.

Now, with the Photo Gallery feature in ApnaComplex, members can upload photos of thier Society events into ApnaComplex and then share it with rest of the society. The photos will only be visible to the members of the society and not to any outsiders. Members can comment on the photos. One can create any number of albums per thier liking and upload multiple photos at the same time. ApnaComplex takes care of the photo resizing without losing the aspect ratio for the uploaded photos to ensure the photos are available for web based viewing.

Happy photo sharing and you can even start conducting Photo Contests in your Society!
