What is Flatra? The Free Apartment Maintenance App for Indian Societies

Flatra in one paragraph

Flatra is a free apartment maintenance app for Indian housing societies, apartment associations and RWAs of 10–100 flats. The society's secretary generates every flat's monthly maintenance bill in one tap, bills water by meter reading, records cash and UPI payments and publishes the society's expenses with receipt photos; every owner and tenant signs in with their mobile number to see their dues, previous bills and where the money goes. It is built in Hyderabad, works in English, Telugu and Hindi, and is available on Android and in any phone browser.

What Flatra does

For the secretary

Maintenance billing — every flat's bill in one tap, as a fixed amount (with per-flat overrides) or the month's real bills split equally or by square foot, with a preview before confirming.
Water-meter billing — per-flat meters with multipliers; the water cost split by actual consumption or charged by slabs.
Collections — cash and UPI recorded per flat, part-payments, advances, and balances carried to the next month, with a history of who recorded what.
Payment approvals — residents submit a UPI screenshot; the secretary approves it in one tap.
Expenses — society bills with receipt photos and monthly recurring bills.
Accounts — association balance, collections, pending dues and a month-by-month statement from the opening balance; a statement PDF for the WhatsApp group.
Reminders — automatic nudges for unpaid flats and alerts for AMCs and renewals.

For residents

This month's bill with a full breakdown, and every previous bill and receipt.
Pay by scanning the association's UPI QR, then claim the payment with a screenshot.
The society's expenses with receipts, when the committee shares them.
Announcements, complaints with photos, polls, meetings and festival events.
Owners add tenants and family members, each with their own login.

How a society starts

Install Flatra from Google Play and sign in with a mobile number.
Choose "Get Flatra for your society" — a guided wizard creates blocks and flats in about five minutes.
Print the QR poster from the app or share the join link; residents scan, install and request to join, and the secretary approves each into the right flat.
Add the month's bills and generate.

What Flatra does not do

Flatra is not a gate-security system: it does not manage visitors, deliveries, domestic staff or amenity bookings. It is not a payment gateway — residents pay the association directly and Flatra never holds the society's money. It is not a full double-entry accounting package. There is no native iPhone app yet; iPhone users use the web app.

How Flatra compares

Large platforms such as MyGate, ADDA and NoBrokerHood are built mainly for big gated communities and centre on gate security. Flatra is built for the small society whose problem is maintenance accounts. Read Flatra vs MyGate, Flatra vs ADDA, or MyGate alternatives for small apartments.
