The four KPIs an Indian owner or PM actually decides from — Occupancy · Rent Collection Efficiency · Receivable Aging 30/60/90 · Maintenance Cost Ratio. Traffic-light tiles, drill-down to action, real-time data. Built so you can triage one property between two cups of chai.
What this page covers: the single-property drill-down dashboard. For 10–500 unit portfolio rollup across cities, see Multi-Property Portfolio. For SEBI REIT NAV-grade reporting, see REIT Software. For per-property P&L and Tally export, see Property Accounting.
EstateDeck has three products for three scales of property reporting. This dashboard is the lower-tier single-property drill-down. Picking the wrong tier wastes both compliance overhead and software cost.
One building, four primary KPIs, decision in 60 seconds. For owner-operators, small PMs, society treasurers. You are here.
Non-REIT portfolios across cities and asset types. Family offices, PM companies, multi-city landlords. Multi-Property Portfolio →

A property management dashboard is the single-property analytics layer of a property management platform — it surfaces the four KPIs that an Indian owner-operator or small PM needs to make a daily decision: Occupancy (how many units are let), Rent Collection Efficiency (what percentage of the month's rent demand was collected within the month), Receivable Aging (how much is overdue in 30, 60, 90 day buckets), and Maintenance Cost Ratio (maintenance spend as a percentage of rent income). Each KPI is rendered as a traffic-light tile and drills down to the underlying unit-level or ticket-level record.
Four tiles. Three colours. One thumb's reach. This is the surface that owners and PMs decide from every morning.
32 flats · residential · period: Apr 2026
An owner-operator triages her 32-flat residential building before her morning chai gets cold.
The monthly PDF report was great when the alternative was nothing. It is a terrible decision surface when the alternative is a real-time tile.
By the time the 7th-of-the-month PDF lands, a problem that started on the 8th of last month has had 30 days to compound. The C-503 plumbing pattern took 9 months to spot in a PDF; it would have taken 2 weeks on a live tile.
A monthly PDF shows that maintenance cost ratio was 8.4%. It does not show that the entire spike came from one unit's repeat-pattern. The drill-down from KPI tile to unit-level record is the difference between knowing and acting.
Co-owners — family members, partners, NRI relatives — get copies of monthly PDFs that are obsolete the day they're sent. Read-only dashboard access means everyone sees the same number on the same morning, no PDF chase.
Generic property dashboards show 14 KPIs because more looks impressive. Four KPIs is enough — occupancy, collection efficiency, aging, cost ratio. Every other metric is a slice or sub-view of one of these. We removed the noise.
A dashboard reads private tenant data and shares with owners. Every surface is built for the privacy and audit framework Indian regulators actually apply.
When you share a read-only dashboard with a property owner, DPDP §6 consent is captured for the tenant data exposed. Tenant PII beyond what the lease assignment lawfully exposes is masked from the owner view by default.
Tenants whose receivable data appears on the dashboard can request access (§11) or withdrawal (§13). The dashboard purges the record within 24 hours of withdrawal and notes the historical receivable in an anonymised form for audit continuity.
Every KPI value carries a timestamped audit trail of the underlying source events — every UPI rent payment received, every maintenance ticket closed, every lease signed. §65B-admissible if a society dispute or owner-PM dispute requires forensic review.
The one-tap WhatsApp reminder from the aging tile uses a pre-approved utility template registered under your DLT Entity ID (TM-XXXXXXXXXX). Transactional category only, May 2025+ template-category enforcement compliant.
The dashboard surfaces rental income and key expense buckets in a §24 House Property compatible split — so owners can see the numbers that flow into their personal return. Actual computation lives in Property Accounting; this is the visibility layer.
Bank-grade encryption at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3) on every dashboard payload. RBAC ensures a junior PM cannot view the principal owner's full revenue trend if their access is scoped to ticket triage only.

For 11 years I waited for the 7th of every month to read what had already happened. My accountant's PDF was honest, neat, useless. Now I make decisions before my chai is half-finished. The pipe pattern at C-503 — nine months I had been paying for that, never spotted in a single report. Caught it the first morning I opened the dashboard. The cost of patches I saved in the next quarter paid for the software twice over.
Four buyer profiles, all sharing one thing: they care about one property at a time.
If your portfolio is 10+ properties across cities, you want the portfolio rollup at Multi-Property Portfolio Management instead — that's the layer above this. If you're a SEBI-registered REIT operating commercial assets, you want the REIT & SM REIT module — that's the layer above the portfolio rollup.
The product surfaces four KPI tiles for one property, each with a configurable green/amber/red traffic-light threshold, each drilling down to the underlying unit-level record. That's the headline. The supporting surfaces:
Let units / total leasable units, as a percentage. Units under offer (lease signed, tenant moving in within 14 days) count as let. For ownership societies, sold units count separately. Vacancy days per unit track from the date the previous lease ended.
Percentage of the month's rent demand that was actually collected within the same month. 100% occupancy with 91% collection efficiency means 9% of demand sits in the aging buckets. Most Indian residential property targets 95% plus.
Standard RBI receivable-aging convention. Current is anything not yet past due. 30-day is 1-30 days overdue. 60-day is 31-60. 90-day is 61-90. 90-plus gets a separate red flag for recoverability concerns. Buckets refresh on every UPI rent payment.
Maintenance spend / rent income, as a percentage, for the same period. Healthy band for a 5-15 year old Indian residential building is 6-10%. Above 10% for two consecutive months typically points to a problem unit or a structural issue. Breakdown by category (plumbing, electrical, lift, structural, AMC) is one tap away.
Defaults are pre-populated based on the property type and age, but you tune them after the first month based on what "normal" looks like for your specific building. A 4-year old Bengaluru IT-park flat may target 98%+ occupancy as green; a 22-year old Lucknow residential building may set green at 92%+ given the older inventory mix. Threshold edits are timestamped and stored — when the dashboard turns red, you can see exactly when and why the threshold was set.
Each KPI tile drills down to the underlying unit-level or ticket-level record. From there, three actions surface directly:
The dashboard is a decision surface, not just a viewing surface. The actions propagate back into the next refresh.
Most Indian residential properties have joint ownership — parents and children, siblings, NRI relatives, family offices. Each co-owner gets a read-only role with the same KPI tiles, the same lease forecast, the same vacancy snapshot — but with tenant PII masked beyond what the lease assignment lawfully exposes to them. DPDP §6 consent is captured at first access; withdrawal is honoured within 24 hours.
For multi-owner buildings (society + individual flat owners), each owner sees only their own units. Society treasurers see the building-wide health for their committee meetings.
This page is Tier 1 of the three-tier portfolio-scale stack. Three sibling pages handle adjacent layers — each owns a distinct buyer outcome:
→ Multi-Property Portfolio Management — Tier 2 · the portfolio rollup for 10–500 units across cities and asset types. Where you compare occupancy and yield across properties, auto-flag loss-making properties, run a Sandilya-style family-office portfolio.
→ REIT & SM REIT Software — Tier 3 · SEBI-registered REITs and SM REITs with quarterly NAV computation, unit-holder statements, §194LBA TDS, FEMA flags, and SEBI portal filing.
→ Property Accounting & Finance — the per-property P&L mechanic that feeds the dashboard numbers. Tally export, §24 House Property treatment, §194-I TDS reconciliation, owner monthly statements. Dashboard is the visibility surface; accounting is the source of record.
→ Maintenance & Facility Operations — the operational source of the maintenance cost ratio numbers. Ticket workflow, vendor assignment, sign-off. Dashboard shows the ratio; maintenance owns the workflow.
