Possession certificate is issued by the erstwhile owner or seller to the buyer stating the date of possession. You can also use the certificate to get a home loan from a bank, NBFC, or HFCs.
During the sale of a property, it's mandatory for the seller to produce the certificate to the concerned buyer. In rural areas, it's the concerned Tahsildar who is in charge of issuing the certificate, and in urban areas the concerned RDO (Revenue Divisional Officer) issues the certificate. You can also use this certificate to include your property in the land revenue records.
