The Siliguri Jalpaiguri Development Authority (SJDA) published its 92.96-acre Dabgram township — Oct 2026 notice (Auction No. 001/PLG/2026-27, dated 11 Sep 2026), having offered 2 blocks in Dabgram, Jalpaiguri. Unlike most e-auctions, the notice set the bidding itself in person at Conference Hall, Siliguri Jalpaiguri Development Authority, Himanchal Vihar, near Passport Seva Laghu Kendra, Matigara 734010. It listed document submission at SJDA’s office, with the earnest money by bank transfer, with the SJDA notice 001/PLG/2026-27, clauses 12, 35, 36, 39 and 44.11 detailing the participation route. BiddingPulse summarizes the notice — its listed blocks, landholdings, schedule, sizes, reserve prices — and includes the full unit-level schedule.
The notice set a published public timetable for the auction. The notice restricted bidding to qualifying parties (not open to the general public) and required them to record their interest and place the deposit by 8 Oct 2026, 11:00 AM IST, and bidding was scheduled for 8 Oct 2026, 2:00 – 4:00 PM IST. The notice listed document submission at SJDA’s office, with the earnest money by bank transfer. According to the SJDA notice 001/PLG/2026-27, clauses 12, 35, 36, 39 and 44.11, the bidder registers with SJDA by submitting the Annexure A and B forms with the entity documents clause 36 lists, and transfers the earnest money to SJDA’s Axis Bank account at Hill Cart Road, Siliguri, as clause 12 sets out. Bidding was scheduled in person at Conference Hall, Siliguri Jalpaiguri Development Authority, Himanchal Vihar, near Passport Seva Laghu Kendra, Matigara 734010. The authoritative notice was published on sjda.org. BiddingPulse lays out the auction's facts; it is never a party to it.
The notice set two numbers for every block. The first is the reserve price — the authority’s floor, below which no bid is accepted. On bidding, the notice says: bids must be above the ₹200 crore starting bid price for each block, in whole rupees, rising in steps of ₹5 lakh. Across these 2 blocks, the reserve is a uniform ₹200 Cr. Published areas span 46.48 acres per block — 92.96 acres across both. The reserve is the floor the authority set — not evidence of any final or accepted price, and a concluded auction can also leave a block unsold. The second number is the earnest-money deposit (EMD), a refundable deposit paid before bidding. It is ₹20.00 crore for each block, transferred to SJDA’s Axis Bank account, with the receipt and registration documents submitted by 11:00 IST on 8 October 2026. Unsuccessful bidders are refunded when the Supreme Court confirms the bid, except the second-highest bidder for each block, whose deposit is released only after the highest bidder has paid the 20%. The successful bidder’s deposit is retained and counted towards that 20%. These two are not the whole cost: a bidder also had to budget for bank transfer charges, either way, on the bidder’s account, any future land-conversion fee under Section 4C, GST and other applicable taxes excluded from the bid under the 23 September pre-bid minutes, all existing and future rates, taxes, assessments, duties, impositions and outgoings on the demised premises, which the lessee pays, an annual rent for the land payable to the Government of West Bengal through the B.L. & L.R.O., Rajganj — separate from the Re.1 payable to SJDA, and the deed states no amount, and salami and annual rent at whatever the State Government then fixes, if a fresh lease is taken after this one expires.
