Why Habitat

Run your society beautifully. Pay nothing. Ever.

Running a society takes too many tools, and too much money. Habitat puts all of it in one place, and the society pays nothing. Here are eight reasons committees switch.

01

Pay nothing. Ever.

Society apps are commonly priced per flat, every month, with extras on top. Habitat is ₹0 for every society, every flat, every feature: no subscription, no per-flat fee, no paid tier. Onboarding, migration and training are free too.

02

Real books your auditor can trust, included

Double-entry, accrual books inside the app, not just a payment ledger: vendors with TDS and GST input credit, bank reconciliation, sinking funds, budgets and an April–March close with locks. Balance sheet, I&E, R&P and trial balance, with Tally XML and CSV. Nothing is ever deleted; corrections are reversals.

03

GST done right, every month

Tax invoices with your GSTIN, CGST and SGST with SAC codes, the ₹7,500 RWA exemption built in, input tax credit on vendor bills, and monthly GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B summaries for your CA.

04

Residents’ data never sits on a guard’s personal phone

We provide a dedicated, locked-down gate device. Contacts and visitor photos stay off personal phones, alerts and SOS arrive because it is always on and online, it runs only Habitat, and a lost device is locked and wiped. No charge: the society only keeps a refundable security deposit.

05

Know who’s at the gate. Decide in one tap.

A full-screen prompt with the visitor’s photo, even when the app is closed. Pre-approved guests walk in with a 6-digit code, deliveries and cabs are one tap, daily help checks in with a code, and SOS reaches everyone at once.

06

Your RWA earns 80%

RWAs are our partners, not just our users. We bring brands, local sellers and event organisers for lift posters, standees, flea markets, pop-up stalls, kiosks and festival stalls. The committee approves every one, Habitat runs it, and 80% of the revenue goes to your society.

07

Live in 2 days, with us doing the work

Day 0: say hello and try a demo society. Day 1: we set up blocks, flats, charges, roles and opening balances from your old app, Excel or Tally. Day 2: we install the gate device and train everyone, and residents join from their phones.

08

Safe for residents, fair for everyone

Data stored on highly secure servers in India, never sold. Every person sees only what their role allows. Owners manage tenants and who pays maintenance, polls count one vote per flat, and every admin and money action is in the audit trail. No contract: export your data any time.
