1) do you have building completion certificate or occupation certificate from PMC ?

2) you can file complaint before consumer forum for deficiency of service and seek orders to direct builder to obtain OC and execute sale deed in your favour

3) property tax bill would be in name of society and you have to pay maintenance to society including your property tax bill

4) you can file RTI application to obtain copy of assessment order in respect of flats in society

5) you can also issue legal notice to builder to execute sale deed in your favour

1) what are clauses in agreement for sale? It is necessary to peruse said agreement to advice . It is not the nomenclature but contents of agreement that are important

2) unless occupation certificate is issued by PMC builder cannot deliver possession to purchaser

3) any purchaser would demand copy of occupation / building completion certificate before entering into agreement for purchase of flat with you

4) at time of registration of agreement for sale of flat occupation certificate has to be enclosed to agreement

5) you can seek to sell your flat but you may not get market rate of your flat

With the sale agreement you cannot sell the property to another purchaser, you have to get the sale deed in your name first and then only you will have marketable title to sell the property.

Once you become the proper owner of the property, you can apply for shares on your name in the society after which you can transfer the shares through the society to the purchaser. Once you get the sale deed on your name you can get the PMC certificate through your society (if it is a registered body).

Your builder who knows the procedure to obtain PMC certificate for tax purpose, should be approached to procure the same at your cost.

1. Without a sale or conveyance deed you cannot assert ownership to the property. A possession letter is waste paper in the absence of the title deed to the property.

2. The sale is impossible without the title deed as no prudent buyer will buy it.

1. If you purchased the flat from the builder then it is the duty of the builder to register the sale deed in your favour. You can sue him to seek judicial directions from a court of law to him to register the sale deed in your favour.

2. As I said earlier, you cannot sell the property merely on the basis of possession certificate.

1. The builder has to register the sale deed in your favour before you can claim the ownership to the property. You cannot sell a property which is not owned by you.

2. If you sell the flat you will have to make the sale deed in favour of the buyer, which you can legally do only if you have a sale deed registered in your favour.
