Is completion certificate and occupancy certificate the same

Dear Sir/Madam,

I wish to know if in Maharashtra after a residential building project is completed, is completion certificate same as occupancy or are the two different?

If builder says, completion certificate is received, should I specifically ask for anything like occupancy certificate in addition?

Best regards,

Rajesh

Completion Certificate and Occupation Certificate are different.

Once there is a completion certificate, there is no requirement for Occupation Certificate.

If there is only Occupation Certificate, then it is lesser than the Completion Certificate.

Thank you Sir. Very well explained. It's clear now. Best regards.
