Who can bid, and what do I need to prepare?
Punjab’s 20 February 2025 auction policy expressly covers GLADA. Clause 8.4 allows joint bidding for residential plots and commercial SCFs, SCOs, shops and booths, but excludes chunk sites, including commercial chunks, group housing, hotel, hospital and school sites. The financial threshold and the listed sites that meet it are explained below. Clause 8.2 prohibits bidding on behalf of another person. Promoters/developers in default on more than two instalments cannot participate under clause 5.3; a successful defaulting bidder must clear those instalments or face bid rejection and forfeiture. Prepare the portal account and property submission below. If the platform agreement link fails, use home page → Downloads → Terms and Conditions.
Prepare your registration
- Identity and contact detailsProvide your PAN and registration details, with supporting documents as applicable, plus a valid email address and mobile number.
- Digital signature and deviceThe current portal guide requires a Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate (signing and encryption) matching your account, plus a GPS-enabled device; it permits certificate or OTP login after activation. State policy clause 8.5 allows DSC, OTP or Aadhaar authentication under the prescribed procedure. Follow the current portal setup for the selected lot.
Complete the property submission
- Payments and documentsRegister before the auction closes. Pay the required property amounts before bidding, including the guide’s ₹3,540 non-refundable Auction Processing Fee per property, per bidder, separate from the published Eligibility Fee. Prepare the requested documents as PDFs and attach them before the property’s request-closing time.
- Check submission statusThe portal must show “Auction Form Submitted”; its FAQ says another status will prevent participation in live bidding.
The policy does not publish a general age, citizenship/residency or individual/company eligibility checklist. For a company, institutional or chunk-site purchase, confirm the applicant and use conditions with GLADA: 0161-2457469 or glada.ldh@punjab.gov.in. No separate entry cutoff is published; the timing answer below gives a date that is safe under both sources.

Which properties are in the list?
Complete signed list, pages 1–35; Punjab auction policy clauses 6, 8.4 and 12; captured Moga auction-number prefixes
There are 21 residential plots, 50 booths, 55 shops, 63 SCOs, 10 SCFs and 7 premises labelled SSS, plus 4 rows labelled Chunk site, 1 row labelled Site and 25 sites at PWD Rest House, Moga. SCO and SCF are the source’s shop-cum-office and shop-cum-flat labels. The policy classifies SCFs as commercial, not as designated Mixed Land Use Sites; the list does not establish development permissions. The statewide policy’s clause 12 expands SSS as Single Storey Shops; that expansion is used here. The residential plots are in Dugri Phase I, Sector 32A, Dugri Phase II, Sector 38. The 5 larger sites and 25 Moga sites have no explicit land-use label in the signed list. The captured Moga auction-number prefixes identify 18 SCO and 7 SHOP entries; confirm their sanctioned use rather than assuming they are residential or unrestricted commercial land.
Which properties meet the chunk-site threshold?
Punjab policy clauses 2–3, 8.4, 10.2 and 11.3, pages 1–2, 4 and 6–7; signed inventory pages 15–19
Under clause 2 of the 20 February 2025 policy, a GLADA site with a bid price of ₹50 crore or more is a chunk site. The 5 rows already above that threshold at their listed Total Prices are: Irrigation/canal office, Mini Secretariat (page 15); 1-B Ferozepur Road, near Wave Mall (page 16); GLADA ground, opposite Vardhman, Sector 39A (sites 5/6/7) (page 17); Site 8, Sector 39A, Chandigarh Road (page 18); PWD Colony, behind SSP residence (page 19). This includes 1-B Ferozepur Road even though the signed inventory labels it only Site. Chunk is a financial class, not permission for a particular land use. Under this dated policy, joint bidding is excluded and there is no construction time limit for chunk sites. Floor area ratio (FAR) is as advertised; clause 10.2 prices additional FAR as bid price × 50% × additional FAR ÷ advertised basic FAR. The clause 3 note refers chunk Eligibility Fees to the 16 February 2023 policy; the property records retain the fees actually printed in this inventory.
What makes a bid eligible for acceptance?
Punjab policy clauses 8.1, 8.3, 8.8 and 9.1–9.2, pages 4–5
The 20 February 2025 policy specifies bids in rupees per square metre (clause 8.1), at least two bidders and three bids for a successful bid (8.3), and no acceptance below reserve price (9.1). A sole bidder therefore does not meet that minimum. These rules do not guarantee acceptance: authority approval remains necessary. Clause 9.2 allows the site area to vary on actual measurement at possession. Excess area is charged proportionately at the bid price; a reduction proportionately reduces the price, with excess money adjusted or refunded. This measurement provision does not resolve the conflicting areas already printed for the Irrigation/canal office site and Moga corner site 23.
What do Total Price and Eligibility Fee mean?
Signed list, especially pages 1–2; current bidder guide point 12; Auction Participation FAQ question 12; platform Terms and Conditions (complete user agreement)
The table prints square-yard and square-metre Reserve Prices, a separate Total Price and an Eligibility Fee. This page retains each published Total Price, including its precision, instead of recalculating it from the rounded area and rate. The signed list calls this Eligibility Fee; the public portal calls its corresponding column EMD. These source labels are retained separately, and neither denotes the full purchase payment. Dugri Phase I’s 4 residential plots carry ₹3,00,000 each; its 9 booths carry ₹2,00,000 each. The current PUDA bidder guide additionally specifies a ₹3,540 non-refundable Auction Processing Fee per property, per bidder. This is separate from the Eligibility Fee. For NEFT payments, the portal FAQ advises a separate challan for each property, says not to alter its details and says not to reuse it for another payment. FAQ Q12 specifies that an NEFT payment to a wrong account number/IFSC with the first six digits correct and later digits wrong will not be reconciled on the portal, leads to disqualification, and can be refunded on request after the auction. The statewide policy treats the Eligibility Fee as refundable/adjustable, subject to its forfeiture clauses. Its payment and possession provisions are summarised separately below; check any later property-specific amendment before payment.
What payments follow a successful bid?
Punjab policy clauses 4–6.1 and 9.3–9.6, pages 2–6; September 2025 advertisement, incentives; GLADA valuation list, first two tables; 16 October notification referenced by GLADA but not retrieved
These are the 20 February 2025 statewide provisions; this round’s payment incentives remain unconfirmed. That policy specifies 10% of the total bid, adjusted for the Eligibility Fee already paid, plus 2% cancer cess on the total bid within five working days of bid acceptance conveyed by SMS/email. The allotment letter is to issue before the 30th day after that deposit. Pay a further 15% within seven working days of the letter to reach 25%. For the remaining 75%, the policy offers payment within 120 days of allotment with a 7.5% rebate on that 75%, or eight half-yearly instalments starting after six months. The instalment rate is 9.5% annually, compounded annually; late payment can add 5.5% penalty with the normal interest under clause 6.1. TDS is paid separately when depositing the 15%, with credit against the next instalment after submitting the challan and return. Other applicable statutory charges are extra. The September 2025 round advertised a 15% rebate on the balance paid in a lump sum within 120 days of allotment, differing from this policy’s 7.5%. GLADA also cites a 16 October 2025 notification on unsold-property reserve prices that has not been reviewed. Its related valuation list overlaps several current locality, type and area groups, but does not establish this round’s prices or payment terms. Confirm the current lot terms and any incentives with GLADA before bidding or payment.
When can the Eligibility Fee or payments be forfeited?
Punjab auction policy, clauses 4.1, 5.1, 8.6–8.9, 8.13 and 11.8
Under the 20 February 2025 policy, missing the initial 10% plus cess deadline forfeits the Eligibility Fee. Missing the next 15% deadline forfeits the amount already deposited, including cess. A placed bid cannot be withdrawn or surrendered; doing so forfeits the Eligibility Fee in full. GLADA may reject the highest bid or withdraw a site even above reserve; a rejected highest bid receives a full Eligibility Fee refund within seven days of the decision. If circumstances beyond the authority’s control prevent allotment, the policy provides repayment within six months of auction without interest, then 6% annual interest for delay beyond six months. Breach, non-payment or misrepresentation can lead to cancellation/resumption and the applicable deductions; clause 11.8 specifies 10% of total price plus interest and dues for resumption. These are distinct provisions, not an unconditional refund promise.
What are the possession and permitted-use conditions?
Punjab policy clauses 7, 8.10–8.11 and 10–11.4, pages 4–7
Under the 20 February 2025 policy, possession is offered in the allotment letter after 25% plus 2% cancer cess is paid. Take possession within seven working days of the 15% deposit or it is deemed delivered. Ownership stays with the authority until all price, interest and dues are paid; execute the conveyance deed within 90 days of full payment. The sale is as-is and approved building plans govern construction. Clause 10.5 prohibits fragmentation, subdivision and change of land use; commercial/group-housing allottees may sell only built-up area or units. Separately, clause 11.1 limits use to the allotted purpose except for expressly designated Mixed Land Use Sites; it does not permit subdivision. Clause 11.3 requires a dwelling on residential plots and one storey on SCO/SCF sites within three years of possession/deemed possession. Other non-chunk sites have five years from allotment, subject to the prescribed extension procedure. Chunk sites have no construction time limit under that clause. Obtain completion/occupation certification before occupation. Confirm the selected site’s sanctioned use and any later conditions.
Can the property be transferred or mortgaged before full payment?
Punjab policy clause 8.12, page 5
Clause 8.12 of the 20 February 2025 policy permits transfer before the last instalment falls due only with the Estate Officer’s prior permission and payment of the applicable transfer fee. The whole site must transfer together, not in parts. Once the last instalment falls due, transfer requires full payment and execution of the conveyance deed. Mortgage also requires prior permission: before full payment it is for paying the authority the entire site price; after full payment it may be for another purpose. Check the current permission and fee requirements for the selected site.
Which end date applies, and how early should I pay?
Public Live Auctions pages 1–30 and Dugri Phase I booth 172 detail, checked 30 October; signed list headings; PUDA eNivida home-page payment notice and Auction Participation FAQ questions 5 and 9, and GLADA’s notices page, checked 30 October; September 2025 PUDA advertisement and GLADA’s April 2026 e-auction notice, portal-only update notes
Bidding takes place on the PUDA eNivida portal. On 30 October, all 236 public property records showed bidding from 29 October at 3:00 PM to 18 November at 12:00 noon IST. The signed list’s heading instead prints 29 October–15 November, a Sunday, with no times. Both appeared on 29 October, and no correction or extension notice explaining the difference was found on GLADA’s notices page or the portal’s home page. This page follows the portal’s close, because bidding opens and closes there and earlier PUDA and GLADA adverts say auction updates and extensions are announced only on the portal. Booth 172’s portal record adds 10 minutes, without limit, when a bid arrives in the final 10 minutes; other properties were not checked. Pay the Eligibility Fee (the portal calls it EMD) and the ₹3,540 processing fee before bidding, and check that the portal shows “Auction Form Submitted”. Each property also has a request-closing time for attaching documents, which the public lot pages did not show. PUDA’s portal advises starting NEFT/RTGS payments at least 24 hours before the auction closes. The safest plan is to finish registration, payment and the auction form by Saturday 14 November, which meets both dates. After that, confirm the selected property’s request-closing time with GLADA (0161-2457469) before paying.
What bid increments does the list publish?
Signed list page/group increment annotations, pages 1–35
Most page groups print an increment of 0.5%, with a rupee annotation shown in each property’s details below; the PDF does not print the increment’s unit. Those figures are retained as printed, including ₹544 on page 2 and ₹543 on page 9 for the same reserve rate. The Moga continuation on page 33 instead prints 0.05% beside ₹331, which does not reconcile with the reserve rate; confirm both. Page 11 also annotates ₹1,582 beside its two corner SCOs. Page 35 prints an unlabelled “1657.0”, whose meaning is unverified. No missing corner premium or increment is calculated here.
Do handwritten marks or removed properties show a sale?
Current list pages 1, 3–4 and 32–35; earlier three-page GLADA inventory
No. The list contains ticks and crosses without a status legend. Dugri Phase I’s nine booth identities differ from the earlier 12-booth list: eight are new to the replacement list, one carries over, and eleven of the earlier twelve are absent. The earlier unsigned summary also differs in Moga identities, areas and prices. It gives Labour Colony shops as 37.17 m² versus 37.16 m² in the current list, and the Dhandari Kalan Phase III group as 101.1 m² / ₹2,92,12,440.6 versus 101.17 m² / ₹2,92,32,667. The earlier Dhandari Kalan identity sequence is ambiguous, so these are group figures, not a claimed match of every property. Its metadata names March 2026, but it prints no auction date or Eligibility Fee column. A changed list or an absent property does not establish sale, cancellation or withdrawal. The 236 rows are the current signed inventory, not a verified remaining-stock or disposal report.
