A Completion Certificate (CC) shows that a building has been erected in accordance with the city’s standards and master plan. This document contains all relevant project information such as building materials, height, and plan, as well as green belt provisions.  This paperwork is required to secure power and water connections. It is issued following a comprehensive inspection of the premises by the local authorities. A temporary Completion Certificate is also available. Authorities issue a six-month interim certificate when the developer has minor works left. After six months, the developer is entitled to a final CC.
Occupation Certificate, on the other hand, signals that there is no violation of building construction norms, and thus, the structure is safe for occupants. An OC is given by a competent certifying authority and allows occupants to enter any structure. These are usually municipal companies.
