FAQ
1) What is a property ?
The Guesthouses, Homestays, Resorts, Hotels, Marriage Halls, Ceremonial Halls, Conference Hall etc. which are either owned and managed or managed by the PRI Units (like Zilla Parishads, Panchayat Samitis & Gram Panchayats) are the Properties.
If a Marriage Hall, a Ceremonial Hall or a Conference Hall is found as a standalone unit then that should be considered as a Property.
Otherwise when a Marriage Hall, or a Ceremonial Hall or a Conference Hall is found inside a hotel, or a guesthouse or a resort then that will not be considered as an individual property. In such scenarios, the Marriage Hall, or the Ceremonial Hall or the Conference Hall is to be considered as a part of that particular hotel or guesthouse or resort. In other words a Marriage Hall, or a Ceremonial Hall or a Conference Hall is found inside a hotel, or a guesthouse or a resort then that should be considered as a type or category of accommodation of that property.
2) Who is the Property Owner?
The PRI Unit (either a Zilla Parishad or a Panchayat Samity or a Gram Panchayat), which is managing the daily operations and entitled to issue Invoices/Booking Slips of a Property are the Property Owners.
If a PRI Unit is the lawful owner of a property but has already leased/rented out the same to any third party and that that party entity is managing the daily operations and entitled to issue Invoices/Booking Slips of that property then the PRI Unit will not be considered as the property owner of that particular property in this software system. Under such scenario that property should not be registered in this software system.
3) What is an Accommodation?
Each of the Rooms, Suits, Halls, Tents, Huts, etc. are there within a property and are being offered to the guests as a separate unit of that specific property against daily rent/hire charges to the guests are the Accommodations.
If a Marriage Hall or a Ceremonial Hall or a Conference Hall is found within a property as a part of that property then that should be also considered as an accommodation of that property.
4) How to treat a standalone Marriage Hall or a Ceremonial Hall or a Conference Hall?
When a Marriage Hall or a Ceremonial Hall or a Conference Hall is not a part of any hotel, resort or a guesthouse and found standing alone as an individual entity then that is to be considered as a Property only.
In this software system each of the accommodations (like rooms, suits, tent etc. ) of a property is being offered as an individual unit on daily rent/hire charges to the guests and not the entire property as a whole. When a standalone Marriage Hall or Ceremonial Hall or Conference Hall is being treated itself as a whole Property then it is to be required to create an accommodation under that property with relevant details according to the fields available in the form namely, ‘Add New Accommodation’ in this software system.
5) Who will create the Property, Property specific Accommodations and also define the Selling Rate of those accommodations?
The DPRDO of a district is known as the ‘District Nodal Admin’ in this software system. According to the defined hierarchy of this software system the District Nodal Admin i.e. DPRDO of the District is the Highest Managing Authority of the District. District Nodal Admin i.e. DPRDO will create one Admin for each PRI unit of the district. In other words there will be an authorized person called ‘Admin for PRI Unit’ for each Zilla Parishad, Panchayat Samity and Gram Panchayat.
Mainly this ‘Admin for PRI Unit’ will be responsible and authorized to register a Property either owned and managed or managed by the respective PRI unit i.e. the Zilla Parishad or Panchayat Samity or Gram Panchayat in this software system. Accordingly that ‘Admin for PRI Unit’ will also be the person responsible and authorized to create the Accommodations for each property registered under the respective PRI unit. Subsequently that same ‘Admin for PRI Unit’ will define the rate of those accommodations. If a particular PRI Unit is managing more than one property then the ‘Admin for PRI Unit’ will need to execute the above mentioned tasks for each of the Properties separately.
