1. What is a NOC?
   
   Ans.: NOC stands for a No Objection Certificate to mortgage the property. The NOC certificate covers five main clauses viz., Property being free from any encumbrances, Property being free and marketable, permission to mortgage the property, Acceptance of lien on the property and the owner not being allowed to sell the property to anyone else without the consent of the HFI.
   
   
2. Why is an NOC required from Building/ Society?
   
   Ans.: In states like Maharashtra and others, the flat owner and the owner of the land on which the flat stands are not the same. The flat owner is given a property by virtue of his being a member of the society or the land being allotted (and not transferred) by a development authority in his favour or the developer selling a flat built on his land. Hence the NOC is required to safeguard the interest of the HFI from the repercussions of the five clauses viz.; Property being free from any encumbrances, Property being free and marketable, permission to mortgage the property, Acceptance of lien on the property and the owner not being allowed to sell the property to anyone else without the consent of the HFI not being adhered to.
   
   
3. Will a NOC be required if I am the owner of the land and the property?
   
   Ans.: NOC is not required if the landowner and the property owner are the same. Hence, if you are constructing a property on a plot of land that you own, NOC will not be required.
