# PC-III(B) Complete Workflow — Monthly Progress Report

## Module Overview

**PC-III(B)** is the **Monthly Progress Report (MPR)** for ongoing schemes. It tracks financial and physical progress each month, reports output indicators, and documents implementation bottlenecks. This is the most frequently submitted PC form during active construction or implementation.

---

## Navigation

1. **Planning & PC Forms → PC Forms → Generate PC → PC-III B**
2. Or open an existing monthly report from the list

**Tip:** Link to the same scheme each month; the new PC-III(B) captures that month's progress.

### Step 7: Signatures & Submit

| Field | Required? |
|-------|-----------|
| **Prepared By** | Yes |
| **Checker** | Yes |

**Submit** → **Forwarded for Checking**

Monthly reports often have a lighter approval path but follow the same status labels.

---

## Save Draft Behavior

Monthly deadlines are tight—use **Save as Draft** throughout the month and **Submit** when figures are finalized (often after 5th of following month per department policy).

---

## Workflow by Role

| Role | Typical Action |
|------|----------------|
| **Submitter** | Prepare by month-end; submit after accounts confirm expenditure |
| **Checker** | Verify figures match department records; Approve or Defer |
| **Department Approver** | Batch review monthly MPRs |
| **P&D** | Monitor bottlenecks across departments |

---

## Business Scenario: Bottleneck Escalation

1. Submitter records land acquisition delay in Step 6.
2. Submits MPR → checker approves.
3. P&D sees bottleneck in review; may add scheme to DDWP agenda.
4. Next month's MPR updates remedial action progress.
