Submit to DEO
Step 3 of 3: Review your complete application and formally submit it to the Data Entry Officer for processing.
Overview
After paying the challan, your application has status Paid. The final step before officer review is to formally submit the application to the DEO. This step gives you one last opportunity to review everything before it enters the official review workflow.
Accessing the Submission Page
From the Architect Dashboard, find the project with status Paid and click the navy Submit to DEO button. This opens the submission review page.
What You See on the Submission Page
The submission page is a comprehensive review screen showing three sections:
Registration Details
A read-only summary of all the information from Form 1:
- Project name, establishment name, owner name and email
- Project address
- Commencement and completion dates
- Nature of work
- Maximum number of workers
Payment Receipt
A summary of the challan payment including:
- Challan number and receipt number
- Amount paid and date of payment
- A link to view or download the full receipt PDF
Uploaded Documents
A list of all documents you uploaded during Form 1. Click any document name to preview or download it. Verify that all required documents are present and legible before submitting.
Entering Your Submission Comment
Below the review sections, there is a Comment text area. This comment is mandatory — you cannot submit without entering text here.
Use this comment to:
- Provide any additional context about the project or application
- Mention any special circumstances the DEO should be aware of
- Confirm that all documents are complete and accurate
Submitting the Application
Review All Details
Go through the registration details, payment receipt, and uploaded documents carefully. This is your last chance to catch any errors before the application is locked.
Enter a Comment
Type a meaningful comment in the mandatory comment box. Describe the application briefly and confirm that all required documents are attached.
Click "Submit to DEO"
Click the navy Submit to DEO button. A confirmation prompt may appear — click Confirm to proceed.
Submission Confirmed
The system updates the application status to SubmittedToDEO and you are redirected to the dashboard. The project now shows a grey View button — the application is under review and no further action is required from you at this stage.
What Happens After Submission
Once submitted, the application enters the officer review workflow:
- If the DEO is satisfied, they forward the application to the BOCW officer.
- If the DEO finds issues, they send a shortfall back to you. Your dashboard will show an amber Respond button. See Responding to Shortfall.
Comment Trail
Every comment entered by you or any officer is recorded in the application's comment trail. This creates a full audit history of the application's journey. You can view the comment trail at any time by clicking the grey View button on the dashboard.
Tracking Your Application
After submission, monitor your application status on the dashboard. The status will progress through:
