We as a society have appointed a developer to redevelop our society building. we have executed development agreement with the developer before handing the building. This was 6 - 7 years ago. Now the state is, the building structure is constructed upto 6 floors and the developer is anticipating to construct 7 more floors but waiting to get the NoC from MHADA (the society was originally built and transferred as ownership to the society and its members). However due to delays in policy - the developer is not able to get this additional FSI NOC from MHADA. Now he proposes to handover the flats in complete condition by providing us Part Occupancy Certificate. In this context: 1. If the developer gets the due Part OC, then is it legal to occupy and take the possession of the flats? 2. Will I face any problems in future to sale my flat (with all title clear documents)? 3. Do we need to set a timeline to the developer to convert the part OC to full OC?
