Mayor ordered PMC Pune to present a Report on Completion Certificate
During construction of a building, the builder is supposed to get water supply, road and drainage No Objection Certificates (NOCs) from the corporation, stating that these basic amenities have been taken care of while constructing the building. After completion of a project, the builder also has to get an occupancy certificate from the concerned authority to ensure that construction of the building is as per the approved plan.
Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has made stiff rules for flat owners.There are about 60,000 to 75,000 property owners in the city who do not have occupancy certificates. This has created problems as the certificate is the main document in any property related dealing including bank loan. “There are many builders who have not taken these NOCs, and as a result, flat occupants have not received occupancy certificates. If a flat owner wants an occupancy certificate he has to give these NOCs to the PMC and it is difficult for him to complete the requirement for these amenities. The PMC is charging heavily for the NOCs and completion certificate,” said Congress corporator Aba Bagul.
Mayor Mohansingh Rajpal on Wednesday ordered the civic administration to table the report to facilitate the process to procure occupancy certificate (completion certificate) without putting financial burden on property owners.Rajpal issued orders following a heated debate on occupancy certificate in the General Body (GB) meeting of the PMC.
Corporators observed that a majority of developers/builders, or the people who submit the building plans, need to seek occupancy certificate from the building permission department. This is an important document as it certifies that the building is ‘safe’, and that it is not encroached upon. However, citizens take possession of flats/houses from builders even if the PMC has not issued an occupancy (completion) certificate.
