OC Full Form
What is the full form of OC?
The full form of OC is Occupancy Certificate. It refers to the document issued by a local government authority or planning agency at the construction’s end. It verifies that the construction of the building is constructed with the sanctioned plans. This document states that the building is safe and suitable for occupancy and follows all the safety rules and conditions. The local municipal authority or planning agency verifies whether the construction of the building is done in accordance with certified rules or laws or not. If it is done in accordance with certified rules, then the concerned authority provides a Building Completion Certificate and, afterwards, an OC or Occupancy Certificate.
