What all a buyer should know if they are buying a property which is getting completed phase-wise? When to apply for Partial OC?
Gagan Goswami


Buyers must insist on getting a partial OC till the entire project is completed. Post that, buyers need to insist on getting an OC from their builder.

Like OC, builders need to apply for a partial occupancy certificate also within 30 days from the date of phase/tower completion.

When the builder should apply for partial Occupancy Certificate? Will the buyer get any kind of advantage?
Gagan Goswami


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.

What is the validity of Partial Occupancy Certificate? Is it a new concept in the real estate market?
Gagan Goswami


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,
