The eight documents that matter
Tick what you have seen - not what was promised.
Sales conversations run on promises; registrations run on papers. Eight documents carry almost the entire buyer risk in an under-construction purchase: registration certificate, draft agreement for sale, title papers, commencement certificate, sanctioned plans, quarterly progress certificates, the occupancy path and the carpet-area statement.
What to do
- The draft agreement for sale is the only promise that counts.
- Price on carpet area; convert every super-built-up quote first.
- A missing commencement certificate for your exact tower stops everything.
- Quarterly certificates let you match site stage to filed stage.
- No occupancy path, no possession - ask who applies and what delays it.
Educational, not advisory — and never a project rating. LetsInvest is a research publication, not a SEBI-registered investment adviser, and these guides run no project lookup and no scoring model. Readiness counts and EMI outputs illustrate your own ticks and inputs. Confirm anything that matters on the official state portal before you act.
