“Your balance is ₹X” is a common answer. “Here’s the complete history behind that number” is much rarer. A resident disputing a figure often has no way to independently reconstruct how it was actually arrived at — they’re left taking the number on trust.
Every bill, every payment, one running balance
The Statement of Account in Nivas Portal lets anyone pull up a unit’s complete history — every bill raised and every payment received, in chronological order, with a running balance after each entry, going back to day one. It exports as a formal PDF, with the same letterhead and signature block as the society’s other official reports, or as a CSV for anyone who wants to check the numbers independently.
- Chronological and complete — the entire billing relationship between a unit and the society, not just the current financial year.
- A running balance after every line, so a disputed figure can be traced back to exactly where it came from.
- Exportable, so a resident or an auditor isn’t limited to viewing it inside the app to verify it.
Worth knowing: this is a deliberately different view from the society’s own cash-book Ledger Book, which tracks collections and expenses with the opposite debit/credit convention — the two represent genuinely different things, not two versions of the same report.
