What exactly is NBCC selling?
Plot GH-02 in Sector 7, Pocket B, Ved Vyas Puri, Meerut: 3,717.67 sqm of vacant, freehold land for group housing, sold “as is where is”. NBCC bought it from Meerut Development Authority in a tender-cum-e-auction on 27 Nov 2012; MDA allotted it on 20 Dec 2012 and the sale deed was executed on 6 May 2013. NBCC sells the whole plot as one lot. Annexure I prints its neighbours: a park to the north, a 7.5 m road to the east, plot GH-01 to the south and a 30 m road to the west.

What is the surcharge case, and who carries it?
In 2019 MDA raised a surcharge demand of about ₹65 lakh on the plot. NBCC challenged it in writ petition WP(C) No. 28803 of 2025 before the Allahabad High Court. The winning bidder must apply to the court to replace NBCC as petitioner, and is then “fully responsible for the outcome”, including any consequential liabilities. Budget for the possibility of paying that demand on top of the bid, and ask NBCC for the case papers at the pre-bid meeting.

What is the petition about NBCC’s earlier attempt to sell this plot?
Civil Misc. Writ Petition No. 4292 of 2026, filed by a firm over NBCC’s previous attempt to sell this plot, is pending before the Allahabad High Court. NBCC says the court has passed no interim order stopping this fresh sale. NBCC’s earlier bid document for the same plot, NIT NBCC/CGM/MEERUT/2025/09, scheduled an e-auction for 29 Oct 2025 at a ₹9,40,00,000 reserve — ₹64,00,000 below this round’s. Neither document says how that round ended or whether it is the attempt the petition concerns, and this one does not say what the petition seeks or what happens to this sale if it succeeds. Ask NBCC at the pre-bid meeting, and check the case’s status with the court before paying the deposit.

How can a bidder lose money here?
In the order it can happen. Withdrawing or changing a bid after bidding ends forfeits the ₹20,08,000 deposit, and so does missing the 10% payment within 72 hours. A consortium that changes its members before the transfer, or a bidder who also bids inside a consortium, lets NBCC cancel and forfeit the deposit and every other amount paid. After NBCC’s bid acceptance letter the buyer may cancel only until everything is paid: within 15 days it forfeits the deposit, and after 30 days it costs 10% of the price plus GST. The table says nothing about days 16 to 30, and NBCC takes no cancellation once all amounts are paid. An instalment more than three months late lets NBCC cancel and resell, refunding the rest without interest after those charges. Suppressing a fact, misrepresentation or a breach of the terms lets NBCC cancel, keep everything paid and take the plot back. And the buyer carries the outcome of the surcharge case; the document does not say who carries the other.

What does the winner pay, and when?
Within 72 hours of the e-auction, excluding bank holidays, 10% of the bid plus any applicable GST, less the deposit — by demand draft, pay order or banker’s cheque payable at New Delhi, or by bank transfer once NBCC gives its details, without waiting to be asked. NBCC then decides whether to accept the bid, which stays open for that decision for 150 days. From the date of NBCC’s bid acceptance letter, 40% falls due within 30 days and the last 50% within 60 days, each with any applicable GST — the document asks bidders to take their own advice on whether GST applies. No separate demand letter is sent. A late instalment carries simple interest at the State Bank of India’s highest marginal cost of funds based lending rate (MCLR) plus 1%, with GST on that interest — and paying the instalment without its interest does not stop the charge: the unpaid interest itself carries interest at the same rate from the day that instalment was paid. The plot is handed over only after everything is paid.

Who can bid, and can bidders team up?
Individuals; registered firms, registered trusts and registered co-operative societies; public and private limited companies; partnership firms registered with the appropriate authorities; and government departments and public-sector undertakings — each also legally competent to contract under Indian law. Up to four may bid as a consortium led by an Indian individual or Indian company, each member signing an undertaking on ₹100 stamp paper in the lead partner’s favour. Someone bidding alone cannot also sit in a consortium, and a consortium cannot change its members until the transfer is complete; breaking either rule lets NBCC cancel and forfeit the deposit and any other amounts paid. Anyone terminated or blacklisted in an earlier property auction by a government body, public-sector undertaking, RERA, statutory body or NBCC in the last three years is barred, and every bidder files a notarised affidavit on ₹100 stamp paper.

What conditions follow the plot after the sale?
The buyer must follow MDA’s rules for using the plot, and the terms of MDA’s original allotment to NBCC apply to the buyer “mutatis mutandis” — with the necessary changes. The document does not reproduce those terms or publish a site plan or permissible floor area, so ask NBCC for MDA’s allotment letter of 20 Dec 2012 and the sale deed at the pre-bid meeting, and ask MDA what it charges to record the transfer from NBCC. Passing the plot to someone else before the conveyance deed needs the buyer’s request, NBCC’s discretion and its competent authority’s approval, and costs 2% of the sale value plus GST — ₹20,08,000 plus GST at the reserve, by our arithmetic — once all dues and interest are cleared. If NBCC cannot make that transfer, the buyer has no claim against it.
