Rental term, payments and every premises lot
The auction dates agree, but the rental duration does not. Read the term and possession conditions before comparing the 26 premises; the bus-entry-fee concession is listed separately below.
Three months or six months — and when does possession start?
Every premises lot prints a quantity of six months. General condition 1 instead gives three months, or reinstatement/cancellation of the old contractor or completion of the new tender process, whichever is earlier; extension is not a right. Additional condition 9 postpones the new agreement and possession until any active agreement with another party expires. No inspected document resolves the duration conflict or gives a possession date. Ask PUNBUS to confirm both in writing; this page does not calculate a six-month contract total.
Round 605820 · individual lot pages
Main bus stand
Five shops, 112–258 sq ft, each starting at ₹32,000 per month plus GST.
Seventeen offices, 86–144 sq ft, in the block the catalogue labels S.C.F. (it does not spell out that label). Fourteen start at ₹4,500, two at ₹5,000 and one at ₹5,500 per month, plus GST.
The 7 October catalogue reoffers the same seven shops, nineteen offices and Adda Fee concession from the September round. All current premises retain their printed sizes, monthly Start Prices and pre-bid EMDs. Shops M-10,M-14 and M-15 are absent; this alone does not tell us whether they were let, withdrawn or will return. The following three records describe the earlier catalogue and are excluded from the current 26-premises totals.
Bidder instruction IX · general conditions 5 and 9
Is there a separate EMD payment deadline?
The seller requires registration and each lot’s pre-bid Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) before participation, but the inspected documents give no separate calendar cutoff. The 6 October inspection end is not a payment deadline. Confirm the cutoff with MSTC. Condition 5 quotes MSTC registration at ₹1,000 plus GST for one-time registration or ₹10,000 plus GST for lifetime registration; confirm the applicable option with the portal. General conditions 5 and 9 provide for refund of unsuccessful bidders’ EMD without interest; the winner’s EMD is retained pending approval and possession and may be adjusted against contract security.
General conditions 10, 12, 25, 47 and 48 · catalogue post-bid EMD and quantity fields
What must the winner pay, and by when?
Within five days of the Letter of Intimation (LOI), condition 12 requires signed acceptance, two months’ rent plus GST as security, and a service charge of 1.75% plus GST — printed as 2.065% of total contract value. The pre-bid EMD may be adjusted against the security. Conditions 25 and 48 repeat that same two-month security; it is not a second deposit. The catalogue’s post-bid EMD is 34% of six months’ rent, which works out to about two months’ rent (our calculation). Ask PUNBUS whether this is the same security payment before calculating the amount due. Condition 12 directs it to MSTC, while condition 48 names the Depot Manager’s office: confirm the official payment route. The unresolved contract duration also prevents a reliable total service-charge calculation. Stamp/notarisation costs and electricity installation and consumption are extra.
General conditions 9, 25, 27, 39, 42 and 43
What can be forfeited or terminated?
Failing to pay the security or service charge after the LOI can forfeit the EMD and debar the bidder from future departmental auctions. Refusing possession also forfeits the EMD. Rent plus 18% GST is due before the 8th of each month: late rent up to ₹2,00,000 attracts ₹200 per day, and rent above that ₹500 per day. After one month, the agreement is terminated and rent and penalties recovered from security. Unauthorised alterations can terminate the agreement and forfeit security. Closure restrictions do not automatically suspend rent. Leaving early requires one month’s notice and payment of arrears and penalties.
General conditions 3–4, 13–15, 27, 32, 38 and 52 · additional condition 11 · shop lot descriptions
Who can bid, and what business is allowed?
Condition 3 requires Indian citizenship and any two of the listed government identity/address documents before the auction; the highest bidder must submit them or lose the EMD. An insolvency affidavit is required. New additional condition 11 requires the highest bidder to submit a consent letter to rent immediately after the auction, together with the required affidavit, Aadhaar, Permanent Account Number (PAN) card, GST number if applicable and two photographs. Every current shop lot requires Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) certification; M-20 is specified for a juice bar and confectionery. Blacklisted, debarred or defaulting bidders, those with a criminal case or litigation under the Public Premises Act face forfeiture under condition 52. The Depot Manager approves the business; subletting and changing the permitted use are prohibited. The department retains ownership. Inspect on the stated as-is basis and confirm any fit-out requirements, since alterations are prohibited and fire-safety arrangements are required before possession.
Catalogue lot 1 · general condition 5 · additional conditions 1–2
What is the separate Adda Fees lot?
Lot 1 is the right to collect bus-entry fees, not a shop or office. Its monthly Start Price is ₹44,01,000. The lot page lists ₹2,00,000pre-bid EMD, but general condition 5’s Adda Fee table lists ₹1,00,000; that discrepancy is unresolved. Additional condition 1 requires one month’s rent plus GST and Tax Collected at Source (TCS) as security and another month plus those taxes as advance rent. PUNBUS and Punjab Roadways buses are exempt from the collection. This concession is outside the 26-premises totals and price range; confirm its deposit and contract terms separately.
Main bus stand shops start at ₹32,000 a month; the two mini bus stand shops at ₹8,150 and ₹8,145. Offices start at ₹4,500–₹7,500. Compare the printed sizes and monthly figures below.

Practical questions
How much pre-bid EMD was required?
₹10,000 per shop or office as the pre-bid Earnest Money Deposit (EMD); the separate Adda Fee concession has a deposit conflict. The property-specific amount belonged to this historical round; this record is not a payment instruction.
Why is this PUNBUS auction record marked concluded?
Bidding was scheduled to close 7 Oct 2026, 11:00 AM–3:00 PM IST. A valid bid in a lot’s final eight minutes extends that lot by eight minutes from the bid, with unlimited repetitions. 3:00 PM IST is the scheduled close, not a confirmed final close. All times are Indian Standard Time (IST). The printed end time was therefore not guaranteed to be the final close. BiddingPulse marked this record concluded on 10 Oct 2026. The notified 7 October session was scheduled to end at 3:00 PM IST. On 10 October, MSTC’s catalogue recorded 3:04 PM IST in its “Scheduled Auction Close” field, four minutes later, while retaining “Activated” and eight-minute auto-extensions. The authority and catalogue checks established no later session. This record moves to Past as an editorial decision.

Where were registration and bidding scheduled?
The round used the MSTC property e-auction portal at https://www.mstcecommerce.com/auctionhome/property/index.jsp. The former schedule is no longer actionable.
What else should I know about this auction?
From the official documents
the monthly Start Price is a rental bid, with department ownership retained; no sale price or fixed six-month total is represented.
award requires competent-authority approval before the offline LOI; condition 12 requires cancellation of a first or second auction with fewer than three bids and allows discretion at a third attempt.
registration and pre-bid EMD must be completed on MSTC before participation; bids cannot be withdrawn and a failure to comply can forfeit the EMD.
What BiddingPulse checked
The Ludhiana premises were first seen on 19 September. The 7 October catalogue was first seen on 1 October; its printed 30 September view date does not establish a new launch. All 27 current lots match the earlier round, including their sizes and financial fields.
All 31 current catalogue pages, the unchanged general conditions 1–53 and the eleven-clause additional conditions were read. The 24 September close remains recorded in the dated history; it is not the close of the October session.

26 premises reoffered for 7 October; original page retained
MSTC round 605820 reoffers seven shops, nineteen offices and the separate Adda Fee concession on 7 October, 11:00 AM–3:00 PM IST. All 27 lot identities were in round 603589; all 26 premises retain their printed areas, and every current lot retains its monthly Start Price and catalogue EMD. Shops M-10,M-14 and M-15 are absent from the new catalogue, which does not establish their outcome. The new additional conditions add immediate consent and identity-document submission after bidding. The six-month/three-month duration and Adda EMD conflicts remain unresolved. This updates the existing Ludhiana page and preserves its first-seen date. Earlier entries describe the September session at their dated checks.
MSTC’s catalogue shows the session ended at 3:44 PM IST
In our 24 September check at 5:43 PM IST, MSTC’s public catalogue for round 603589 printed the 24 September session’s close as 3:44 PM IST, 44 minutes past its notified end, so bidding ran into extensions and has ended. PUNBUS’s conditions have its Depot Manager declare the successful bidder and send the Letter of Intimation offline after competent-authority approval; neither PUNBUS nor MSTC has published a result, so this record does not say how many premises were let or at what rent. 26 of these 29 premises were also in each of PUNBUS’s four earlier MSTC rounds for Ludhiana Bus Stand, held on 9 July, 28 October and 29 December 2025 and 18 March 2026.
