All nine original bundle terms, page 5 clause 8 and page 6 Table 1
Who is eligible for these Dhule shop leases? Must I live in Dhule?
Individuals and institutions can apply for these nine General-category bundles. Each original table marks its bundle सर्वसाधारण (General). Clause 8 requires Dhule-city residence proof for reserved shops and expressly allows any individual or institution to bid for unreserved shops. Applicants from outside Dhule can therefore apply for these nine bundles, subject to DMC’s document scrutiny and the other lease conditions. These eligibility details cover the nine bundles listed here.
Original terms, page 4 technical-envelope clauses 1–2; page 5 clause 7; NIT12, page 2 notes 3 and 6
Which documents do I need to prove eligibility?
Upload scans of the original PAN/TAN and Aadhaar documents for the individual or institution taking the lease, as clause 2 requires. The technical envelope must also include scans of the fee and bid-deposit demand drafts. For a बेरोजगार संस्था (organisation for unemployed persons), clause 7 additionally asks for a competent government officer’s certificate and the previous three years’ audit reports. That additional requirement is specific to this applicant type. Keep originals available for scrutiny when DMC requests them.

Does portal enrolment guarantee that I can bid?
No. Enrol on eAuction India and arrange the digital signature required by the original terms, then complete both the online submission and sealed-packet delivery. DMC checks eligibility and documents from 16 to 23 October 2026; only bidders found eligible may join the 24 October live auction. The signed extension gives an 11:00 AM IST scrutiny start on 16 October, while the portal prints 11:05 AM IST. Both give 23 October, 5:00 PM IST as the scrutiny end.

Why is ₹11,742 not a reserve price?
For shops 22/23/24, the original table gives a combined 19.19 m² area, ₹46,976 annual rent and ₹11,742 as its three-month amount, labelled non-refundable. The first valid premium bid is ₹21,742: the printed ₹11,742 starting figure plus the required ₹10,000 increase, which the portal also lists as its increment. The table’s amount differs from annual rent divided by four; we preserve it as printed. Accepted one-time premium and recurring rent are separate and exclude applicable GST. Other bundles have their own printed starting figures; none is a property sale reserve.

What must I submit, and by when?
Arrange nationalised-bank demand drafts payable to the Commissioner, Dhule Municipal Corporation: ₹2,000 including GST for the tender fee and ₹25,000 bid deposit per combined gala. Two or three numbered shops form one gala for this purpose. DMC’s signed extension sets the deadlines for the eligibility documents and demand-draft scans: upload by 15 October 2026, 11:00 AM IST, then deliver the uploaded documents and both original demand drafts in a sealed packet to DMC’s Property Management (Market Department, बाजार विभाग) office on 15 October between 11:05 AM and 5:00 PM IST. The note makes that delivery mandatory.
Original terms, page 4; detailed clauses 2–7
When must the successful bidder pay?
The premium is payable within seven days of gala approval; the detailed clause requires the balance after the stated adjustment within seven days. No agreement or possession is given before the entire premium is paid. Monthly rent is due by the 5th without a reminder. Late rent attracts interest under the governing provisions; no rate is printed. Rent rises by 5% every three years on the then-current rent. That is not a cap: clause 6 also permits rent to be re-fixed from time to time under the Rent Transfer Act 2023 and government directions or recommendations.
NIT12, note 7; original terms, clauses 8–13, 17–19, 22 and 26
What other costs and restrictions apply?
The lessee pays GST on the highest premium bid, applicable GST on rent, state and municipal taxes, property tax, fees, utilities, meter installation, water, sanitation, cleaning and minor repairs. The ₹2,000 tender fee alone is expressly GST-inclusive. Before possession, the lessee must execute the agreement through the Registrar on the proper stamp paper at their own cost. Repairs need written consent; alterations and additions are prohibited. Damage compensation is payable at DMC’s assessment. Dangerous, inflammable, prohibited or public-health-harming goods cannot be stored. Future market and inspection rules also bind the lessee.
Original terms, eligibility clause 9; detailed clauses 2, 20–21 and 27–29
What can be forfeited or recovered?
Eligibility clause 9 says refusal or failure to pay, or a technical error, can forfeit the tender fee and bid deposit and allow recovery of the entire gala amount as property-tax arrears under section 439. The accepted premium is non-refundable for any reason, earns no interest and cannot offset other dues. Clause 21 also purports to deny a court remedy concerning that premium; this is the document’s stated condition, not a conclusion about enforceability. Audit-assessed dues must be paid within 15 days of written notice. DMC reserves acceptance/rejection and additional-condition powers.
Original terms, clauses 10, 14–16, 24 and 30
Can DMC terminate the lease or require a shop back?
Clause 14 says DMC may need any gala and makes the statutory committee’s decision under the Municipal Corporation Act and Rent Transfer Act 2023 binding on the lessee. An alteration breach can cancel the lease, appropriate the premium, bar the former lessee from the re-letting process and create liability for a lower replacement rent. Early surrender has a separate rent-shortfall provision for the remaining term. At expiry or termination, DMC can evict occupants, remove goods and retake possession at the lessee’s cost; the terms disclaim compensation for resulting damage. Renewal is not automatic: clause 30 makes renewal or transfer subject to the committee, government notifications, municipal resolutions and court orders.
Original terms, clauses 4, 23 and 30
Can the lease be transferred or inherited?
Transfer and subletting are prohibited under the general terms. Clause 23 makes a specific exception for transfer to an heir with prior written municipal permission and the transfer fee set by the statutory committee. It does not create a general right to sell or transfer the lease.
DMC signed extension, 30 Sep 2026; eAuction India corrigendum entries
Why were these dates moved again?
This is the fourth attempt to lease these nine galas. DMC’s signed note records that the original round, with online documents due on 20 August, and two earlier extensions approved on 24 August and 10 September drew no sufficient response. The Deputy Commissioner approved this extension on 30 September. The auction date has moved from 31 August to 16 September, 7 October and now 24 October; eAuction India gives “minimum bid not received” as the reason for each extension. A further extension is possible, but this page does not assume one.
