Requirements to be met for a building to get a partial OC: Clearance from the fire department.
Waste management areas and composting facilities.
Proper rainwater harvesting facility.
Sewage treatment plant.
Airports Authority of India clearance (if within the range of an airport).
Electrical inspectorate certificate, including one for lifts.
Only basement and ground floor can be used for parking of vehicles.
Like OC, builders need to apply for a partial occupancy certificate also within 30 days from the date of phase/tower completion.
From financial perspective, immediate possession is the biggest advantage. Unlike OC, you can also apply for an electricity or a water connection with Partial occupancy certificate.
It is valid until the entire project is completed and the authorities issue the Final OC for the entire project. Nope it is not a new terminology, since phased-construction is gaining momentum, the concept of partial OC is also becoming popular.
Partial OC is granted to large projects that are being developed in different phases or blocks. According to experts, once a specific phase is completed, the concerned authorities after inspecting the building grants it a Partial OC. Simultaneously, as the next Phase finishes, partial OC is given to that as well and so on. Once the entire project is complete, Partial OC is replaced with one common OC for the entire project,
