Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India
Occupation Certificate
We are living in a building which does not have an occupation certificate as there is a payment dispute between the builder and the architect. We have requested the builder to pay the architect and get the OC to no avail . How do we sort this issue, also the files pertaining to the building seem to have disappeared fro the BMC. Kindly advise

Re: Occupation Certificate
You can approach BMC. You can even appoint your own architect for follow up. BMC can even remove the Architect of builder, who is not completing work entrusted to him on account of dispute with builder.
Loss of files from BMC is internal matter of BMC and BMC would see what to do.
You should apply at the earliest for occupation certificate as construction is complete and put in actual occupation.
Re: Occupation Certificate
You are entitled to seek enforcement of the terms of contract you executed at the time of purchase of building.
