Chain of Title Documents: A complete sequence of past sale deeds (usually for the last 13 to 30 years as per regional laws) to establish a clear transfer of ownership.
Approved Floor Plan: A copy of the building plan or layout approved by the local municipal authority.
No Objection Certificate (NOC): NOC from the housing society or the builder/developer.
Encumbrance Certificate (EC): A document from the Sub-Registrar’s office confirming that the property is free from any legal dues or existing mortgages.
Tax Receipts: Latest receipts for property tax, water tax, and electricity bills to prove there are no outstanding municipal dues.
Possession Certificate/Occupancy Certificate (OC): To confirm the building is fit for occupation and follows local bylaws.
