Can OC be legally issued by BMC for under construction buildings ?

A new phenomenon is being practiced and publicized by builders in Mumbai.

They entice buyers by mentioning that full OC is received for the project from BMC though buildings are only 40% ready just with basic RCC structure.

Is it legal? Please help.

Quick Summary

Builders in Mumbai are reportedly issuing Occupancy Certificates (OC) for projects that are only partially constructed, sometimes as little as 40% complete. This practice raises serious legal questions about the validity of such OCs. If a building is not fully complete, the issuance of an OC by the BMC appears to be illegal and can be challenged.
