Some Media reports on Wednesday said Tendulkar had violated terms by performing a puja and moving in furniture without getting the BMC’s occupation certificate (OC). However, under Section 353 (a) of the development control rule, the owner is allowed to receive a conditional OC “if there are minor objections found in the Building Completion Certificate (BCC)”. Despite this, if somebody moves into the house, a one-time charge of Rs 50 per sq m of area is levied on the defaulter. “We haven’t verified if Tendulkar has moved in. In any case,
We will send engineers to his house on Friday to investigate. If he has occupied the premises illegally, we will initiate action,” said an official. Sources in the corporation said it is a common practice, although not legal, for residents to move in without getting an OC since getting one is an ongoing process.

This is done even when water and some times other amenities are in the process of being established. “Many major builders are asking buyers to move in, on the basis of the permission to move in furniture,” said an official. There as many as 2400 buildings in Mumbai without an OC. Recently, the civic body slapped an eviction notice on a building in Prabhadevi. But no action has been initiated.
