Rules clauses 4–5, especially 4.5 and 5.8; fee in 7.1
Who can apply, and what documents are required?
The rules allow Indian citizens over 18, without an income or category limit, and eligible registered firms or companies. Keep Aadhaar, PAN, bank details and a cheque copy ready, along with the ₹10 stamp-paper affidavit. Firms and companies must supply certified memorandum/articles of association and registration details; partnerships must be registered. The online registration fee is ₹500. Pay EMD only through the portal’s designated account or online challan; payment to another account disqualifies the bidder.
Rules clause 14; official layout
What can a Transport Nagar plot be used for?
Clause 14 lists transport and ancillary businesses, including transport operations, repairs and spares, warehouses or godowns, banks, hospitals, fuel stations, restaurants, hotels and related services. The scheme is not a general residential plot offer. Check the selected plot’s zoning, sanctioned layout and permissions before deciding on a use.
Rules clauses 7–9
How much must the successful bidder pay, and when?
Pay 25% of the highest bid, after adjusting EMD, within one month of the reservation letter. Choose lump-sum or instalment payment within that month; the rules otherwise default to instalments. The allotment letter governs the remaining 75%. Instalments use SBI’s one-year MCLR plus 1%; overdue sums attract an additional 2% compound penalty. Missing three consecutive instalments can cancel the allotment.
Rules clause 7
Are there early-payment rebates?
For lump-sum balance payment after allotment, the rules state rebates of 6% within 45 days, 5% within 60 days or 4% within 90 days. After 90 days the rebate ends and the stated interest applies. Confirm the eligible base and your allotment letter before relying on a rebate.
Rules payment-default and withdrawal clauses
When can the deposit or later payments be forfeited?
Failing to top up to 25% within one month of reservation can forfeit EMD without another notice. Withdrawal after auction but before that payment can also forfeit EMD; cancellation after allotment can forfeit paid amounts up to 25% of property cost, including EMD. Under clause 9.4, a lump-sum default can lead to cancellation three months after the stated due date, becoming automatic if payment remains unpaid for a further three months. Non-residential allotments cannot be restored (9.7).
Rules clauses 7.5 and 12.5
Does paying 40% guarantee possession?
No. Clause 12.5 refers to possession after development completion and at least 40% payment, while clause 7.5 describes possession after full payment. Obtain ADA’s written clarification for the selected plot. The deed requires full payment. If ADA cannot complete allotment or possession because of its error or a dispute, clause 9.8 provides a refund with simple interest under 12.2.
Rules clauses 12.5 and 15.1
Can I run a business before paying in full?
No. Clause 12.5 links possession to completed development and at least 40% payment; construction also needs ADA’s plan approval under clause 15.1. Clause 12.5 also prohibits commercial use, revenue activity, sale, transfer, renting, sublease and mortgage until the deed is executed and registered. The deed requires 100% payment. Breach can lead to cancellation, forfeiture and repossession. An instalment plan is therefore not permission to begin operating.
Rules clause 6.7
What if I am the only bidder?
Rule 6.7 bars allotment to a sole bidder in the first two attempts. In the third attempt, ADA may consider allotment at its discretion. Earlier listings do not prove the legal attempt number for this plot; confirm it with ADA before paying.
Rules 3.3–3.8, 6.1, 6.4, 7.9–7.10 and 12.1–12.6
Can the final price or area change?
Yes. Areas and costs are estimates. The land rate can be revised annually until development is complete, and the final allotment cost binds the buyer. Area changes and court- or authority-ordered increases in land compensation can add to the amount due. For an increase above 10%, excluding premiums and additional area, clause 12.2 permits withdrawal within 60 days of the final-cost notice with simple interest at SBI’s MCLR rate. Verify the selected plot before bidding: the sale is as is where is, and later complaints about location, area, boundaries or title are not accepted.
ADA inventory captured 14 Oct 2025 and current 25 Sep 2026 listings
Have any plot numbers appeared in an earlier round?
An archived 14 October 2025 capture of ADA’s inventory repeats 12 current plot numbers, with different areas for all 12. For example, 6-A-15 was listed at 1,250 sq m and ₹2,37,50,000, compared with the current 1,528.8 sq m and ₹2,90,47,390; 4-F-19 changes from 375 to 477.5 sq m. The earlier 2-A-24 listing called it a charging/Fuel Station site at 1,250 sq m and ₹3,12,50,000; the 11 September 2026 layout marks 2-A-24 vacant without establishing that use. Use current measurements and ask ADA to confirm the permitted use and plot’s attempt number. The archive does not prove whether an earlier auction concluded or a plot was allotted.
Rules 3.4, 6.6 and 17.7
Who decides the final allotment?
Allotment depends on ADA’s final approval, even after a highest bid. The Vice-Chairman’s decision is final under the rules, and the advertised plot count may change without notice.
ADA portal banner and plot listings, checked 9 Oct 2026; rule 5.10
What does ADA’s physical-auction notice say?
ADA’s portal banner lists 9 October 2026 at 11:30 AM IST in the Meeting Hall, Aligarh Development Authority, Aligarh. It gives no closing time or exact plot list. The banner does not reopen registration or EMD. The existing plot listings retain different hours, 10:00 AM–3:00 PM IST. Check the selected plot’s current status with ADA; these schedule entries do not establish that the session concluded or a plot was allotted. Rule 5.10 says ADA publishes the date and venue on its websites and sends no individual notification. The published mode is in-person bidding.
