No Objection Certificate (NOC) and Its Advantages

No Objection Certificate (NOC) is an Official Document, which is required in both government and non-government work. It is used for example, if a person wants to sell a property, he has to take a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the concerned department to ensure that there is no legal dispute on that property. It is issued by an organization, institution or individual to say that they have no objection to the details mentioned in the document. Apart from this, NOC is also used for buying and selling a vehicle, changing jobs, travelling abroad, or doing business. This Government Document helps to avoid unnecessary Legal Problems. NOC is obtained through an official request but sometimes the process of obtaining NOC varies in some cases.
