Maharashtra RERA rules conditional OCs don’t allow possession until all conditions, like water supply, are met.
In a November 2025 ruling, Maharashtra’s RERA clarified that a conditional occupation certificate (OC) does not legally allow builders to hand over possession until all conditions—like obtaining a Section 270A water supply certificate—are fully met.
A conditional OC is not a final, valid OC under RERA, and builders cannot use it to justify possession.
Homebuyers are advised to wait for a full, unconditional OC before accepting keys, as "fit-out possession" lacks legal protection.
Builders who fail to deliver a valid OC within the agreed timeframe may face penalties, interest payments, or refunds under Section 18.
While RERA can enforce compliance, disputes over civic amenities like water supply fall outside its jurisdiction and must be resolved in civil court.
Las OC condicionales de Maharashtra RERA no permiten la posesión hasta que se cumplan todas las condiciones, como el suministro de agua.
