For both institutional plot schemes, the processing fee is ₹25,000 plus applicable GST . The amount is non-refundable and non-adjustable and has to be deposited online through the YEIDA portal or through RTGS/NEFT by generating the required challan.

The EMD is 10% of the total premium of the plot for which the applicant is submitting the application. The EMD is adjustable/refundable according to the scheme conditions.

Applications and supporting documents have to be submitted online. Incomplete applications will not be considered.

For the corporate office scheme, the successful applicant will be selected on the basis of the highest eligible bid above the reserve price . Unsuccessful applicants will have their registration amount refunded without interest within three months from the date of the bid.

Minimum three eligible bidders required for e-auction

A notable condition in the YEIDA institutional plot e-auction is that the auction will proceed only when at least three eligible bids are received for a plot.

If only one or two eligible bids are received initially, the application deadline for that plot will be extended by seven days. A second seven-day extension can also be provided if the number of eligible bidders remains below three.

If fewer than three eligible bidders remain after the prescribed rollover process, the e-auction will not be conducted and the processing fee and EMD of participants will be returned without interest.

If bidding continues into the final five minutes, the auction time will automatically extend by another five minutes from the last bid. The brochure provides for unlimited such extensions, with the extension process continuing up to 6 PM on the same day.

YEIDA plot payment schedule

The successful bidder has to deposit 40% of the total bid premium after adjustment of the EMD within 60 days of the allotment letter without interest.

The applicant can alternatively choose to make the full and final payment within 90 days from the date of issue of the allotment letter. Failure to make the required payment can result in cancellation of the allotment and forfeiture of the EMD.

For the balance premium under the instalment option, the brochure provides for payment through four equal half-yearly instalments along with applicable interest. The scheme documents also contain provisions for penal interest in case of payment default.

YEIDA plot lease period and construction conditions

The institutional plots are offered on a 90-year leasehold basis from the date of execution of the lease deed.

Annual lease rent is prescribed at 2.5% of the total premium , with applicable GST. The brochure also provides an option to pay a one-time lease rent equivalent to 11 times the prevailing annual lease rent , or 27.5% of the total plot premium, subject to the applicable terms.

For plots up to 4,000 square metres under the corporate office scheme, the prescribed period for obtaining the completion certificate for the full project is three years from the execution and registration of the lease deed.

Special conditions for senior secondary schools

The YEIDA brochure lays down additional obligations for successful school plot allottees.
