After you are issued the Occupancy Certificate (OC), you will take over the responsibility of paying the Municipal Taxes (17.1). You are also responsible for compliance with relevant norms, if you are a Non-Resident Indian. (Section 7).
• You are free to take a loan for the purchase of the apartment. We shall support you as necessary. If the Agreement to Sell is executed before you secure the loan, the amounts and due dates in the agreement remain unchanged whether you obtain your loan or not (Section 9).
