Participants are required to upload prescribed identity and supporting documents, including:
- Voter ID

- Passport
- Aadhaar / Unique ID
- PAN Card
- Photograph and signature in the prescribed format
The notification also provides participation provisions for registered partnership firms and participation through guardians/friends in the case of minors or persons without computer knowledge, subject to the stated conditions.
BDA e-Auction EMD – ₹4 Lakhs Per Site
The Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) is specified as:
₹4,00,000 per site
The EMD and applicable e-Auction fee must be remitted through the prescribed process on the e-Procurement portal.
The notification states that unsuccessful bidders' ₹4 lakh EMD will be credited back without interest, subject to the applicable terms.
Important Bidding Rule
One of the important conditions in the BDA notification is that the bid amount should exceed the base price by 10%.
For example, the notification explains that if the base price is ₹45,000 per sq. metre, the bidder should quote more than ₹49,500 per sq. metre. A bid of exactly ₹49,500 would be rejected under the example provided.
The notification also states that there should be a minimum of two bidders for each site and that a single bidder will be rejected.
Payment After Winning the BDA Auction
Successful bidders should carefully comply with the payment deadlines.
As stated in the BDA notification:
- The successful bidder receives an e-Auction advice letter by email.
- 25% of the total cost, after deducting the ₹4 lakh EMD, must be remitted within the stipulated period.
- The notification specifically states that failure to remit the required 25% within 72 hours of receiving the e-Auction Advice Letter, or late remittance, can result in forfeiture of the ₹4 lakh EMD.
- After payment of the 25%, the remaining 75% is to be paid within 45 days of receiving the allotment letter, as specified in the notification.
Buyers should therefore arrange their finances before participating in the auction.
Physical Verification Before Bidding – Very Important
BDA specifically advises bidders to physically verify the auction site before bidding.
Potential bidders should check:
- Exact site location
- Site dimensions
- Road width
- Approach/access
- Surrounding development
- Physical condition
- Geo Map / Geo Tag information
- Applicable site/layout details
- Any other relevant property-specific factors
The BDA notification states that auctioned sites will be allotted in the same condition in which they are offered, and bidders are required to physically check the location and road width before bidding.
Eco Space Realtors Recommendation
Do not bid solely by looking at the auction notification or an online map.
Before placing a significant bid, physically inspect the property and independently verify the relevant documents, measurements, location and applicable restrictions.
