Kanpur: KDA’s 844-plot auction

The general conditions allow Indian citizens older than 18 who can enter a contract. Firms, institutions and companies must provide certified Memorandum and Articles of Association and registration details; partnerships require current registration with the Registrar of Firms. Applicants must complete the online form and required documents. The notice includes education, health, petrol-pump and other specified uses; the general personal eligibility clause does not establish sector-specific approvals or operator qualifications for those lots. The property PDF also labels some residential plots EWS, LIG, MIG or HIG; it does not establish their current income or category-document requirements. Confirm those requirements, sector-specific approvals, permitted use and KYC for the exact plot before payment.

Search the plot finder below, then open KDA TenderWizard → Latest Auction Free View → Search. Match the full Auction Number shown on the record, the scheme and the plot number. Properties_Lists.xlsx supplies the published area, reserved rate, EMD and request/auction closing times; Properties_Details.pdf adds uses and property descriptions. A listed record does not guarantee continuing availability. Ask KDA at 0512-2556292–93 or kda@kdaindia.co.in to confirm the exact lot, credited EMD, applicable charges and any corrigendum before payment.

KDA’s poster totals 844 plots across 47 groups. The downloaded property workbook has 839 Auction Numbers. All five absent workbook entries are New Transport Nagar Phase 2 Type A corner plots 131–135: each appears on page 3 of Properties_Details.pdf at 1,800 sq m, ₹38,000 per sq m and ₹68,40,000 EMD. The PDF has handwritten marks beside those rows, but gives no clear reason for their absence from the workbook; confirm their availability with KDA. The two location conflicts affecting Mandakini and Jawaharpuram are disclosed on those records. Auction_Order_Copy.pdf repeats the 47-group table but its introduction says 576; the current authority poster and index identify this as the 844-plot offer.

KDA’s February 2025 e-auction advertised 553 plots, with registration from 4–18 February and bidding from 5–19 February. Bhagirathi and Jahnavi (97 plots) and the Stadium shops/complex (49) have the same published counts and reserved rates in both notices. New Transport Nagar changed from 237 plots at ₹32,000 per sq m to 220 at ₹38,000; Kidwai Nagar Y-1 from ₹87,900 to ₹90,000; and Mandakini’s nursing-home group from ₹55,200 to ₹82,500. These are matching groups, not confirmed matches of individual plots: neither poster prints plot numbers or explains earlier outcomes.

The current poster cites the 25 December 2025 order for newly acquired land in Jawaharpuram, Mahavir Nagar Extension and Mirzapur: 5% each for corner, park-facing and a road at least 18 metres wide, with 12% when all three apply. For other schemes using District Magistrate rates, it prints 5% corner and 5% park-facing premiums. It separately requires 12% freehold charges. The general e-auction conditions instead say 10% corner charges. This conflict requires KDA’s written plot-specific calculation; do not silently add both corner percentages or assume the lowest applies.

The workbook publishes an EMD for every one of its 839 lots. For 836 lots, the amount matches 10% of the published area × reserved rate to within ₹1. Kidwai Nagar Y-1 Plot 15C, for example, is 167.29 sq m at ₹90,000 per sq m, with ₹15,05,610 EMD. The three Sakrapur group-housing plots have higher published EMDs: ₹1,30,63,255, ₹1,27,76,850 and ₹2,71,23,155. Use those exact listed amounts; KDA must confirm the difference. Some PDF deposits differ from the workbook by ₹1, so the finder retains the workbook amounts. Clause 20 describes a 5% discount on the remaining 90% for full payment within 90 days of allotment. Clause 13 allows online payment until the auction close and bank challan payment one working day earlier. Those general terms differ from the current notice’s earlier 16 November, 5:00 PM IST entry cutoff; retain the earlier deadline. A legacy booklet linked from KDA’s auction page instead requires 25%, after deposit adjustment, within 30 days and the remaining 75% in four quarterly instalments over one year at 15% interest; it gives a different discount for full payment and registration within 15 days. The booklet also prints a ₹1,050 form/booklet price including VAT. Its age and conflicting terms mean those figures are not established as the current 844-plot payment package. Obtain the current fee, deposit, instalments and discount terms in writing from KDA before committing.

The current notice and general conditions set a minimum ₹100 per sq m bid increase; the conditions require multiples of ₹100 and cap a single increase at ₹50,000 per sq m. The workbook lists a ₹100 increment and a “Maximum Increment limit” of 4 without a unit; confirm how that limit relates to the general conditions on the selected plot’s bidding screen. Bids in the last 10 minutes add 30 minutes repeatedly. Normally at least two bidders and three bids between them are required. Late instalments attract an additional 3% penalty interest for up to six months, followed by cancellation and registration-money forfeiture if dues remain unpaid. The highest bid requires authority approval.

Highest-bidder withdrawal forfeits registration money. Unsuccessful-bidder refunds follow competent-authority approval; the wording about one week does not establish a clear guaranteed payment date. Ask KDA to confirm its current refund procedure and timeframe. Separate deposits are required to participate for different properties.

Properties are offered as is, where is. Inspect the exact plot, access, boundaries, services, encroachments and permitted use. Actual measurement can alter payable price. Possession follows registered documentation, and construction requires a sanctioned plan. Buyers bear maintenance from the fixed possession date until local-body transfer, applicable taxes and other dues. If acquisition, litigation or another stated obstacle prevents authority delivery, the conditions offer no alternative property or compensation; they provide refund without deduction, with SBI savings-rate-plus-1% interest where money was held over one year. This is separate from bidder default.
