Bangalore Occupancy
Certificate: A complete guideline
A buyer can move into
his/her new apartment only once the occupancy certificate (OC) has been
received. This occupancy certificate is generally obtained from the Bruhat
Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) and it is mandatory for every residential complex,
which is larger than five units, to obtain the occupancy certificate. It
is illegal to move into a flat or house without receiving the occupancy
certificate.
The occupancy certificate is processed once the Palike gets information from the owner or the buyer highlighting that the construction has been completed. The builder needs to fill an occupancy certificate application form for the issue of the certificate. The builder will also need to submit a few other documents that are listed below
