    As a Flat owner you can also apply for an OC by approaching the local corporation or municipality, and if all approvals are in place, an OC is issued within 30 days of application. You will have to submit the same documents as the builder to procure an OC If the builder refuses to provide an OC, you should consider exercising your legal rights. You can issue a notice against the builder asking him to apply and hand over the copy of the OC within a month. You can also approach consumer forums and file a writ petition demanding the OC. Some canny builders simply present the receipt of the OC and dupe gullible customers. But you shouldn’t accept anything less than the actual OC as the receipt may be dated. Landmark legislations like the Real Estate Regulatory Act (RERA) have been passed to regulate the sector, promote transparency and protect consumer rights. However, consumers must be vigilant and understand their rights and responsibilities towards owning a property. Documents like OC are essential and ensure the security of your investment. How to obtain an OC The OC is obtained from local municipal bodies by submitting an OC application form along with the following documents: • Commencement Certificate • Completion Certificate • Built and Section plan • NOC for fire and pollution • Area calculation sheet of floor signed by an authorised architect • Photographs of the completed building • Tax assessment with tax paid receipt • Photographs of rain harvesting and solar panels • Copy of the sanctioned plan After submitting the form, authorities inspect the complex and confirm if it has conformed to the approved plan before issuing an OC. Legally and ideally, a builder should submit an application with the municipal commissioner for the OC within 30 days of completion of the property.

    Dear Client, Occupation certificate is an important document showing that the building has been constructed according to the permissible plans and abiding local laws. The local municipal corporation issues this document after ensuring that compliance of all local laws has been done. The builder is responsible for obtaining the occupancy certificate. Whereas the completion certificate will get from the authority after completion of total project in all respect. The owner of the flat is not responsible for taking a OC from the concern authority. Builder is liable to take OC from the concern authority. Without the OC the builder will not in a position to issue flat to owner. You need to send a legal notice to builder for non compliance of OC also you can get the interest for delay in possession. In case of any further advice please connect to me.

    It is for the Society to obtain the completion of certificate for whole of the complex. Even if you require it individually you with the consent of Society can apply for the Certificate to the Municipal Authorities. Please give me Rank Five and follow me after reviewing my resume and book a consultation for further discussion and explanation if required.
