This query is : Resolved
I have booked a flat at baroda [vadodara] gujarat. My builder says that completion certificate cannot be provided before registration of sale deed and that it will take nearly a year or two to get it. Pl let me know extent of minimum and maximum risk involved if any.
Secondly is completion and occupancy certificate same or different and whether it is a must legally. What are consequences of not having these certifictes.
Should I withhold some amount pending receipt of these certificate from builder?

Dear Mr. Shah
Agreed with above views but also wants to add that if you will apply for loan from any bank certifcate of completion is necesary.
