What is Occupancy certificate?
An occupancy certificate is a document from the competent authority relating to permission to occupy a completed building under applicable local rules. It differs from project registration and a completion certificate. Developers should verify its scope and conditions before making possession or ready-to-move claims, especially where only part of a development is covered.
Match the certificate to the relevant building, phase and conditions. Do not imply that one document covers every tower in a larger project.
RERA section 2(zf) describes an occupancy certificate in relation to occupation under local laws. Obtain the project document rather than relying on a marketing label.
Why it matters in Indian real estate
A Bengaluru project website advertising a ready-to-move tower should make the applicable occupancy status clear and avoid extending that claim to unfinished neighbouring phases.
