Hi,

 Details of the bank auction process:

Why a property is auctioned?

Let us first understand what kind of properties do banks put up for auctions. The properties (residential or commercial) on which the borrower has defaulted on paying EMI's for three consecutive months. The banks then serve notice to the borrower to resume the repayment. If the borrower starts paying the EMI's the notice is withdrawn. The borrower is also given a chance to explain himself, in such cases banks often help the borrower by giving extensions on emi payments. Otherwise, the banks wait for 60 days and after another 30 days they start the bank auction process.

Steps to buy a property through a bank auction.

1. Where to find properties that are being auctioned by banks?

Banks usually put notices in national newspapers with all the details of the property being auctioned. There are notices on the property being auctioned as well. These days banks also advertise on big platforms online mentioning the property details, date of auction and such details.

Industry leaders say that one of the major benefits of buying such properties is that they come on big discounts. You can get a deal upto 25-30% off on the market value. Also since the banks are auctioning the property - these properties will usually have clear titles.

3. Problems with bank auctions

You need to be aware that in bank auctions, you do not get access to property papers before purchase and hence title verification is not possible. So do try to hire a legal expert, a lawyer who can help with the process. Check that there are no legal disputes on the property, and physical condition of the property.Also ensure that bank has physical possession of the property. It may take years to get physical possession sometimes. Also verify the outstanding balance on the property and the difference between the outstanding and final auction price. If auction price is more, then the outstanding amount can be paid by the bank to the defaulter. If the outstanding amount is more than the auction price, then the defaulter has to pay the balance to the bank.

4. Submitting your bid for bank auctions

You can collect Tender Form and along with that deposit Earnest Money Deposit, which can be deposited through a banker's cheque or a DD. Banks also demand for KYC documents along with the Tender form. You need to submit everything before the tender closing date. There are many ways to submit your bid. In many cases tender form and the bid form are one and the same. In some cases, you will have to submit the tender form physically and big form online. If the bank is conducting e-auction, you can even bid the amount multiple times during the process of auction.

5. Auction Results

On the auction day you need to visit the bank. The bank announces the highest bidder as the winner of the auction. If you win the auction, then be prepared to pay 25% of the amount within 24 hours (this includes EMD deposited with tender form) and rent 75% needs to be paid with a time period specified by the bank.

6. Property Registration in your name

Once you pay the bank the entire amount, the bank will give a Sale Certificate, which you need to register at the sub-registrar's office. The sale certificate should also be signed by the bank office during the property registration.
