No civic amenity will be provided to the building without the OC. Moreover, if you are owner of an apartment, which does not have an occupancy certificate, you will face challenges in resealing the property. Therefore, buyers should demand the builder to provide them a copy of the occupancy certificate before taking the possession of the apartment.

OC is required to facilitate the tracing of building plans and approvals for the buyers. This will help the buyers to take a wiser decision. The second need is to have a strong on ground government body to keep a check on the construction quality and legalities related to approvals. These measures will make the whole system transparent and efficient.
