      Hi, while most of the requirements are same, some like Form A do not apply to Haryana. We will try to share the Haryana specific checklist as well in few days. The mandatory conditions don’t cover any requirement for drinking water.

    Above post refers to CC but I would like to know the role of Occupancy Certificate. Our builder says OC is not required for residential project, Is it true?

      Since multistoreyed buildings have plethora of additional aspects like fire safety etc., first completion in accordance with permits and plans (called completion certificate) needs to be had. The physical occupation however is legally possible only after OC which is mostly a formality post getting CC.

      Please check with NA (through RTI or other means) as to what is the reason for delaying OC/CC (apart from NGT if applicable to your project).
      Also let builder know in written that you are taking possession under personal compulsion and onus of your safety/security rests with the builder.
      Taking possession in such circumstances would be dependent on an individual’s situation.

      Dear Balbir, a lot can be done if you have a buyers association.
      Else on individual basis, ensure you send emails and letters by registered post to the builder asking for documents or raising requirements not met. Also mention that in absence of a response, responsibility of any damage or loss (like a security or safety breach) to you would be builders responsibility.
      If CC has been received, you may also put an RTI with NA as to why CC was provided when these these things are missing.
