REQUEST BOX
Introduction
In most housing societies, it is a common practice to issue No Objection Certificates, No Dues
Certificates, Address Proof Letters, Move Out Letters etc. upon request by Members of the Society.
However, issuance of these letters usually follows a process of verification and approvals For
example, the association office would check among other things if the tenant has returned the club
house access cards before issuing a No Objection certificate. Also, the General Secretary or Treasurer
may have to approve these requests before a letter is issued.
This is a huge administration overhead on society office. Even for Members, they need to make
multiple visits to the society office in order to get the required letter.
In order to reduce the efforts required, ApnaComplex now supports a new feature Request Box.
With help of Request Box, Administrators can first configure various categories of Requests that can
be raised by Members. For example, administrators can create a new Request Category called Issue
NOC Certificate. Each Request Category needs to have configuration defined for:
1. Approver List
2. List of items to checked by the Approvers
3. Template of the Certificate that is issued once necessary approvals are obtained
