Issue and Challenges

There were several issues and challenges that AMC sought to overcome and decided to go for a Building Plan Approval System for the Building plan department.

 

  • Complex nature of land records and many rules interrelated to each other.
  • Manual intervention is subject to mistakes.
  • Time was a major issue for the approval time frame. 
  • Revenue target achievement for ULBs remained elusive due to procedural delays.
  • Malpractices were unavoidable due to a lack of standardization.

Solution

SoftTech has implemented the AutoDCR system in AMC for the Building Plan department and this system has been successfully rolled out for all zones across Amravati and currently has 190+ users working through the system.
