No-objection certificates or NOCs are legal documents that one may require to carry out a large number of tasks. The importance of NOCs is, however, extremely crucial when it comes to property transactions. Builders need a large number of NOCs to start a housing project; sellers also need NOCs to offload their property; homebuyers may also need certain NOCs to carry out property purchases. This is why having a clear understanding about this highly important document is a must for anyone involved in a property sale or purchase.
What is a no objection certificate?
A no objection certificate or NOC is a legal document that can be issued by any individual, authority, organisation, or institution, specifying that there is no objection to the details stated in the document.
Why is an NOC important?
Besides establishing that there is no objection, an NOC can also be produced in a court of law and can be used to prove your innocence, if you happen to be caught up in a legal tangle. For example, obtaining an NOC from your bank or lending institution, once the home loan is repaid, will enable you to collect all the legal documents of the property without any hassle. An NOC will also help in getting a lien on property removed. A lien on property means that the banks or lending institutions have a legal claim on your property and the right to sell the property until you pay off your debts.
Importance of NOC in property transactions
A no objection certificate is a crucial document used in various property transactions such as property transfer and sale of property.
- NOCs from different government departments are required for real estate projects to fulfil various regulatory and legal requirements.
- Obtaining the NOC is crucial as it proves the property is free from any legal issues or objections from the existing owner, heirs or other parties.
- In case NOC is not obtained, it could lead to legal issues, disputes or financial problems.
- NOC protects the interests of stakeholders by preventing potential disputes since it establishes that all potential claims to the property has been addressed and that the transaction would not be contested later.
- For properties with a mortgage or loan account, lending institutions require NOCs to prove that there are no objections in transferring the loan to the new owner.

No objection certificate from legal heirs for transfer of property in India
In India, there are laws governing the process of property transfer to the legal heirs to a property after the death of the original owner. Such distribution of assets is governed by the laws of succession.
Legal heirs must know the procedure involved to obtain ownership of a property after the death of a person in whose name it is registered. While in the presence of a will, the process is easy. Legal heirs can also challenge a will if the property was inherited instead of self-acquired. However, in the absence of a will, the succession law comes into play. A no objection certificate (which is NOC full form) from other legal heirs, along with an affidavit, is one of the documents that will be required for the transfer of a property. If one has paid any consideration, in kind or cash, to any heir or claimant for acquiring their share, then it must be mentioned in the transfer papers. Further, one needs to register the release deed for the transfer of share.
Is NOC from sister to brother required for father property?
With the implementation of Hindu Succession Act, 1956, a woman in a family has been allowed to claim her share in a property equally unless there is a will executed by the father for the division of the property. As per a recent amendment, women born before the year 2005 have the right to claim the property. However, there are still many cases where women do not claim a share in their father’s property. In such cases, a no objection certificate becomes essential when her share needs to be entitled to one of the family members, through the process of division of assets. The transfer of property can be done by signing a no objection certificate for property transfer. The other way is through executing a relinquishment deed.
Thus, if a legal heir wishes to give up his or her claim in the share of a property, the person has to provide a NOC certificate in favour of family members who are the other legal heirs mentioning the same in the document. The children of this person will not have the right to make a claim over the said property in future.
An NOC from a sibling will be required in cases such as mortgaging a parental property with the bank or transferring the property. An NOC from other legal heirs will also be required when taking a loan against the property. The document will prove that there are no pending legal claims or objections from the property owner or legal heirs.
Further, if a property owner dies, the legal heirs must submit an NOC to collect the property documents and request the bank to hand over the title documents.
