OC missing need advice

Q: Hello Experts,

I wanted to buy a flat but its OC ( occupency certificate ) is missing / not available, owner says its a 8 years old building and back then this was not necessary.

Its a A khata building, so is it safe to buy it ? or if there is any workaround like it can be later recovered some how ?

Regards,
Sam

This certificate is mandatory for any builder before he allows people to take possession of the property. This certificate was made compulsory by the BBMP to ensure proper construction in the city.The occupancy certificate is obtained at the end of the construction. Once the builder applies for the certificate an inspection is done to check if the construction has happened according to the sanctioned plan.
