An Occupancy Certificate (OC) is an important document issued by the concerned local authority after a building is completed and found suitable for occupation.
An OC indicates that the completed building has been constructed according to the approved building plans and applicable regulations.
It generally confirms that the building has met the required standards related to construction, safety and essential services before it is occupied.
Before buying a property, checking the OC can help buyers verify that the building has received the required approval for occupation.
