POT is the process to formalize the change from Master Title to Strata/Individual title using MOT (Form 14A), so that the buyer is recognized as the new owner of their unit/property that's issued on the strata/individual title.

POC is to transfer ownership for an Individual or Strata Title using the MOC (Form 16A), to the bank who supplied the home loan to purchase the property, so that the bank is the owner of the property until the borrower has paid off the loan.

To simplify it:

POT/POC = the process/action taken
MOT/MOC = a specific legal document involved in POT/POC

But when tossing around the abbreviation in fees, POT/POC = the legal fees involved, while MOT/MOC = stamp duty for the documents

You'll need to check for the receipt given by your appointed loan lawyer on whether that's paid or not, if no receipt yet (documents not released yet), can call your lawyer to check. If it's covered by developer usually there's a document from developer that states exactly what is covered (usually listed as "Stamp Duty for [item]" or "Free MOC stamp duty", or anything of that vein)

Your lawyer is best place to check whether fees have been paid, honestly.
