The notification states that the auction purchaser must be an Indian citizen . Partnership firms may also participate, provided they are registered in India before the auction.

Address proof: Any one of the accepted documents, such as Voter ID, driving licence, passport or Aadhaar, attested by a Gazetted Officer, notary or the relevant Embassy Office for NRIs, as applicable under the notice.
PAN card: Uploading PAN is compulsory, with the attestation specified in the notification.
Photograph and signature: These must be uploaded in the prescribed format with the required attestation.
Contact details: A valid email address, mobile number and landline number, where applicable.
Joint registration documents: Only eligible blood relations, namely a spouse, son or unmarried daughter, can be included with the auction purchaser. Relationship details and government-issued identity proof must be uploaded during participation.
The person whose name is registered on the e-procurement portal will be treated as the final purchaser. The site cannot subsequently be transferred to another name under the terms stated in the notice. Minors and people without computer knowledge may participate through guardians or friends, subject to the document and purchaser-name requirements.
The Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) is Rs 4 lakh per site . Bidders must also pay the applicable e-auction fee through the prescribed e-procurement process.
The important payment conditions are:
The successful bidder must remit 25% of the total bid amount after adjusting the Rs 4 lakh EMD , within the deadline stated in the e-auction advice letter.
The notification also specifies a 72-hour deadline for payment of the 25% amount. Failure to pay within the prescribed time can result in forfeiture of the EMD.
After remitting the initial 25%, the successful bidder must pay the remaining 75% within 45 days of receiving the allotment letter .
The EMD of unsuccessful bidders will be returned to their accounts without interest within a reasonable period.
If the EMD is remitted to BDA's bank account instead of through the e-auction portal, the notice states that a 5% service charge on the EMD will be deducted during the refund.
For sale consideration exceeding Rs 50 lakh , the notification refers to a requirement to deduct and remit 1% of the total amount payable as TDS. Buyers should verify the applicable tax provision and payment procedure with the relevant tax authority or professional before payment.
The successful bidder should carefully read the e-auction advice letter because the applicable payment deadlines and remittance instructions must be followed to avoid forfeiture.
BDA has specified that bids must exceed the applicable base price by more than 10% . For example, if the base price is Rs 45,000 per square metre, the bidder must quote more than Rs 49,500 per square metre; a bid of exactly Rs 49,500 would be rejected under the example in the notification.
