Q:Hi All, Hope u guys are aware of the latest news about the Worli ( Campa Cola Society) demolishen. 170 flat owners have been asked to leave just because they did not have the occupancy certificate.. Although the flat owners had paid their yearly taxes and had the flat registered 20yrs ago, the govt has declared it to be illegal.. This only reminds me that few blocks in PWC are still not given with the OC. Note: This is not to create any worry, just a concern that we all need to squarely plan and resolve.

Very simple answer, no occupancy certificate means that the building has not been given a "Pass Certificate" by the concerned authority. As such, it does not have all the necessary infrastructure or clearances that make the building inhabitable. You might heard the news of Campa Cola Society where no necessary clearance was taken and building was demolished.
Latest Answer: @abhijit,
In order to control the increasing case of illegal construction in various metros, the local governments have proposed and implemented regulations regarding an OC. In Hyderabad, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has proposed to connect OC with property registration. In Mumbai, according to the Bombay High Court, it is illegal to move into an apartment without an OC.
