Hi there, my house is a 3 stories terrace with 3 phase electric supply. Developer gave 0.3A RCCB. Is it safe?

For single phase the RCCB is 100mA for power and 30mA for lighting. For water heater it is 10mA.
If 3-phase the main RCCB is 300mA (effectively 100mA per single phase) and 100mA (around 33mA for single phase). Dont think there is any application for 3-phase heater in a residential home.

Means using 300mA RCCB is okay? Noob here

For a 3-phase supply, yes it is OK. But if you have instant/storage heater, run a different RCCB of 10mA (either 16A or 20A) for best protection.
For my own home I have individual RCCB for:

1) Power Circuit (63A 100mA)
2) Lighting Circuit (25A 30mA)
3) Solar Heater Circuit (16A 10mA)

Mine is on single phase setup.
