Mumbai's OC Amnesty Scheme Faces Application Challenges and Low Uptake
Mumbai's OC Amnesty Scheme, launched in September 2026 to help housing societies obtain Occupation Certificates (OCs), has seen limited uptake with only 97 applications and four complete submissions. Residents of Willington Heights in Tardeo face technical and administrative challenges due to partial OC status and AutoDCR system glitches, delaying their applications. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) plans awareness programs to encourage more societies to apply before the penalty-waiver deadline, aiming to benefit thousands lacking valid OCs.
