Flat occupancy without occupancy certificate

I have purchased a flat in a gated community. Construction is completed but Occupancy Certificate not received. Builder asking me to take possession of house & reside in it otherwise builder has to pay rent to me as construction not completed. 

Is it legally permitted to occupy the flat with out OC received from Municipal Corporation? I need payment Property tax for flat without OC?

Grateful to legal fraternity for clarifying the above query.

Thank you in anticipation.

It is not advisable to occupy the newly constructed flat without OC.

You insist on it before getting the property registered on your name.

The occupancy certificate is legal document confirming that builder has been constructed flat according to approved plans and meets allsafety andbuilding code and regulations, making it suitable for occupancy so without getting occupancy certificate don't occupy.
