Every statutory application, and whose desk it is on.
Approvals tracks every statutory application a development needs — RERA, the planning authority, the corporation — through a status lifecycle that only moves via a recorded transition. Each one carries its checklist, its documents, its expiry and the name of the person it is currently sitting with — including an outside liaison agent, who works from a single link.
Status moves one way, and only through a transition.
No screen sets a status column. Every movement goes through a service that checks the move is legal, records who made it and writes it to the timeline. That is what makes the board trustworthy six months later.
An expired approval is not a paperwork problem. It stops sales, stops construction, or both — and it is usually noticed in the month it matters.
Your approval types, not ours.
Terra comes with a Tamil Nadu template covering the authorities below. Which ones a development needs differs by city and by project type, so the list is yours to edit — not a support ticket.
Planning permission in the Chennai metropolitan area
Planning permission outside CMDA limits
Building permit from the corporation, municipality or panchayat
Project registration
Fire service NOC
Height clearance near an airport
Environmental clearance for larger projects
Pollution control board consent
Water and sewerage connection
Electricity supply
Before the building is occupied
Any other approval your projects go through, added by your own team
Checklists and thresholds are guidance based on published rules, not legal advice. Your team, or your liaison agent, does the filing.
Hand the file to your liaison agent. Keep the view.
Most approvals are prepared by someone outside the firm — a liaison agent, a fire-safety consultant, a surveyor. Assign the whole approval to them and it stays on your board the entire time.
Pick the vendor under Prepared by. They get a single link to every paper the approval needs — no login, no app to install. Copy it, or send it on WhatsApp.
Each paper lands on its own checklist line the moment the vendor uploads it, and the progress bar moves with it. Nothing arrives as an email attachment to be filed later.
The approval sits under With the vendor, with their name on the card, so everyone can see the next move is theirs.
When their papers are in, the set goes through your review chain before anything is filed. The link lasts 10 days by default (you can change that), and you can reissue or revoke it at any time.
Enough to answer “where is it?” without a phone call.
Approvals, walked through.
From the board and the checklist to handing a file to a vendor, sign-off, the authority’s decision and the renewal warning.
