Mall, Office Park & Retail

Most commercial property managers collect rent and CAM separately โ€” rent through a bank transfer, CAM through a manual calculation, utility through a sub-meter bill, and follow up by phone when any of them are short-paid. FastFee consolidates all commercial charges into one monthly bill per tenant, automates follow-up, handles TDS deduction tracking, and reconciles against the property bank account.

Full CAM Collection Workflow

Step 01
Property โ†’ Building โ†’ Unit โ†’ Tenant setup

Configure the property hierarchy: Property โ†’ Building/Block โ†’ Floor โ†’ Unit/Shop โ†’ Tenant โ†’ Lease. Each tenant gets a lease with base rent, CAM rate (โ‚น/sqft), and any custom charges.

Step 02
Monthly bill generation

On the billing date, FastFee generates itemized bills per tenant: base rent + CAM (area ร— rate) + metered utility + parking + GST. Bill sent via WhatsApp with itemized breakdown.

Step 03
UPI AutoPay / NEFT payment

Tenant pays via eNACH mandate (for recurring large amounts) or NEFT/RTGS bank transfer. UPI AutoPay mandates available for tenants preferring monthly auto-debit.

Step 04
Partial payment and charge-head split

Payment received is applied to charge heads in priority order (rent first, then CAM, then utilities). Partial payments generate a receipt for the received amount and show balance per head.

Step 05
TDS reconciliation

If tenant deducts TDS (Section 194-I), the net payment is matched to the gross rent. TDS certificate details logged for landlord's advance tax filing.

Step 06
Overdue follow-up and recovery

Overdue tenants enter a follow-up queue โ€” email + WhatsApp reminders with itemized outstanding. Promise-to-pay dates tracked. Escalation to estate manager after configurable days.

Step 07
Bank reconciliation

All incoming NEFT/RTGS/UPI payments auto-matched to tenant rent accounts. Unmatched payments flagged for manual review. Monthly close done in minutes.
