April 11, 2025 at 11:52 amIs below list missing anything?# 1. RERA Registration Certificate
* Confirms the project is registered .
# 2. Title Deed (Mother Deed / Parent Document)
* Confirms that the builder has a **clear legal title** to the land.
* Ask for the **chain of title**โnot just the current deed.
* Should be in the developerโs or landownerโs name if itโs a joint venture.# 3. Encumbrance Certificate (EC)
* Shows that the land is free of **any legal dues or mortgages**.
* Obtain EC from the sub-registrar office for **at least past 30 years** (Form 15).# 4. Building Plan Approval
* Ensure:
* Your flat is part of approved plan.
* Check for block/tower number and flat number in plan.# 5. Commencement Certificate
* Authorizes builder to start construction.
# 6. Construction Agreement & Sale Agreement (Drafts)
* Get draft copies and review:
* Flat details (carpet/saleable area).
* Payment milestones.
* Delay clauses, penalties.
* UDS (Undivided Share) details.# 7. Joint Development Agreement (if applicable)
* If the land is owned by someone else and the builder is developing it jointly.
* Ensure all stakeholders have signed.# 8. Allotment Letter (only after token/booking)
* Should clearly mention the **flat number, size, facing, tower/block**, payment details.
* Ask for it immediately after you give the token.# 9. No Objection Certificates (NOCs)
Ensure the developer has the following:
* **Fire Department NOC**
* **Environmental Clearance** (if >20,000 sq. m.)
* **Airport Authority NOC**
* **Pollution Control Board NOC**
* **Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) NOC**
* **Water Supply & Drainage NOC**# 10. Land Patta and FMB Sketch
* **Patta**: Confirms individual ownership of land parcel.
* **FMB Sketch**: Survey drawing showing exact land demarcation.# 11. Tax Paid Receipts
* Latest property tax and land tax receipts for the project land.
* Confirms no pending dues with the Chennai Corporation or Panchayat.# 12. Occupancy Certificate (for ready-to-move flats)
