Arwal:
The Arwal district administration has announced a public auction of vehicles confiscated under the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act, 2016, officials said on Friday.
According to a notice issued by the Prohibition and Excise Department, the vehicles were seized by the department and various police stations in the district for their alleged involvement in illegal liquor transportation and related offences. The vehicles have since been confiscated by the district magistrate-cum-collector, Arwal, and will now be disposed of through open public auction.
The auction will be conducted in phases at the collectorate premises (indoor stadium), Arwal, starting at 10am. The first phase is scheduled for January 9, 2026, while the second and third phases will be held on February 9 and March 12, 2026, respectively, to dispose of vehicles that remain unsold.
Officials said the auction will include a wide range of vehicles such as two-wheelers, cars, auto-rickshaws, pickups, mini trucks and heavy vehicles, along with several vehicles classified as scrap. The vehicles are currently stored at different police stations and excise depots across the district.
Interested bidders will be required to deposit an earnest money amount equivalent to 20% of the reserve price through a bank draft drawn in favour of the Excise Superintendent, Arwal. Only bidders who complete the documentation process within the stipulated deadline will be allowed to participate.
The department clarified that vehicles will be auctioned strictly on an “Official Notification” basis, and successful bidders will have to bear registration charges, road taxes and other statutory dues. An additional 3% service charge payable to the Bihar State Beverages Corporation Limited (BSBCL) will also be applicable.
Officials advised prospective bidders to physically inspect the vehicles before submitting applications, as the department will not be responsible for transportation or repair costs.
