I heard that the Karnataka Government has made Occupancy Certificate mandatory. What if builders are not yet giving or providing us OC?

The Karnataka Chief Minister said that the government plans to take stringent action against those errant builders flouting building bye-laws by not providing home buyers with an Occupancy Certificate. Thousands of home owners are facing a similar plight of not being provided with an OC.

Documents required to obtain Occupancy Certificate are as follows: 1) Commencement Certificate, 2) Completion Certificate, 3) Built plan along with section plan, elevation and site 4) NOC from fire force, Karnataka State Pollution Control Board 5) An approved and signed sheet of the floor area calculation by the architect 6) Pictures of the completed building 7) Tax assessment with tax paid receipt 8)If solar panels and rain water harvesting done, submit photographs 9) Sanctioned plan copy.

If there is no OC, the Palike can also initiate action against the flat owners, as the law says no person can move into a building without the OC.

Is it really important to obtain Occupancy Certificate because I am planning to buy an apartment where the builder is not giving Occupancy Certificate.

Now-a-days many builders do not bother to get OC and often home buyers move into a flat in hurry burry once the construction is complete. But, it is very much important to know when you are handed over the keys of your new house as you may face serious issues later once you move in.

How we will know that the builder will get occupancy certificate or not if we are book an under construction project?

Hey Hardik, in such cases make sure you check the Commencement Certificate (CC) before signing any agreement. Usually builder continue to build first and second floors without getting a CC which is illegal and later can create problem in getting an OC.

Do we need to ask for the occupancy certificate to the builder while booking the flat itself ? Do they have separate one for the entire building and for a specific flat or its just one ?

No one is allowed to occupy their flats until and unless the builder provide me Occupancy certificate. Occupancy certificate is mandatory and you have to check with the builder about the same before booking a flat

Hello...as far as i know in completion and Occupancy Certificate, no person shall occupy or allow any other person to occupy any building or part of a building for any purpose until such building or part has been granted the occupancy certificate. Every owner/ lessee is required to submit a notice of Completion cum Occupancy Certificate of the building in the prescribed form and such notices shall be submitted in the proforma along with the requisite documents, fee and charges mentioned therein

Occupancy Certificate is mandatory before you can start living in an apartment. It is illegal to occupy a flat if the document does not exist for that building. Unfortunately, many residential apartments are sold without it as many people, especially the first time buyers, are not aware of its requirement.

Completion certificate is necessary because the certificate is a proof that the building had been constructed according to the plan which is approved by laws of corporation. It is mandatory that the builder or owner must have completion certificate for building construction before selling the flats.

Is it mandatory to have both Occupancy certificate and Completion certificate?

Completion certificate is issued by the local civic body authority stating the property has been built as per sanctioned plan and is completed.

The Builder has to get the Occupancy certificate from the Municipal Corporation. It is a legal permission to sale the flat after which customers can buy and occupy them for living. If they do not have an occupancy certificate then the building is illegal. The builder has to submit a No Objection Certificate and Lift Safety certificate to get the Occupancy certificate.

Upon completion of Construction, the Builder receives this Certificate from the Municipal Authorities. The Certificate documents the location and land identification of the Building, certifies if the Building is in accordance with Building Standards, e.g., Distance from Road, Distance from Adjacent Buildings, Height of the Building, and other approved norms of the Municipal authority as well as the Building Plan

A Permission to Occupy a Building, given by the Municipal Authorities, after verification of all supporting Documents, adherence to Building standards, Fire Safety standards for HighRises, Elevator and other Electrical Safety, provision for Water Supply and Disposal, etc. The legal possession of the Flat by the Owner is valid only with the Occupancy Certificate.
