A construction needs occupation certificates to legalise the completion of the construction.
In real estate, construction can only be completed once the legal licenses like occupation certificates are obtained from local authorities.
Occupation certificate is a document that is issued by a local government agency or authorities upon the completion of a building project. The certificate is proof that all compliances have adhered to the laws laid down by the government.
Occupation Certificate V/s Completion Certificate
A completion certificate is issued to a housing project and it acts as proof that the construction is ready for habituation. A housing project can only be taken possession of once the developers obtain the completion certificate.
Occupancy certificate, on the other hand, legalises the completion of a project. It is proof that all norms, policies, laws have been complied with in accordance with regulatory requirements. Without an occupancy certificate, a building can be demolished anytime for not following the law.
