Q:Hi!I had bought an apartment in Asten Viveria at Thengod near Kakkanad.The project was promised to be complete by 2015 and was delayed by the builder.Now i.e. in October 2017, the builder is asking me to take over the apartment for which registration is incomplete, authority water and electricity is not completed and occupancy certificate from local authorities have not been obtained. Is the builder right in his claim to handover apartment without these legal or official documents? Can a aggrieved customer refuse to take over in such instances?Thanks
Latest Answer: No, do not take possession of flat in absence of completion and occupancy certificate. It will consider as illegal and some basic amenities will discontinue by the local body. A building, of which possession has been obtained without taking OC, can be demolished at anytime. If builder had completed building as per sanctioned plans completion certificate would be issued by the authorities.
