What a GDA auction is
The Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) sells residential and commercial plots in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. Each auction is announced in a notice with a plot list, reserve prices, an earnest-money deposit, and a registration window.
This guide follows the process using GDA’s Indirapuram Extension auction as a worked example. GDA is the exception among the authorities we cover: you register and pay online, but the auction itself is held in person.
Where the bidding happens — in person
This is where GDA differs from DDA and Chandigarh. You register and place the deposit online, but the auction itself is held in person at a physical venue. For the Indirapuram Extension auction, the notice names the venue as Hindi Bhavan, Lohiya Nagar, Ghaziabad, with the auction on 17 July 2026 at 11 AM IST. — per the GDA plot list for the 17.07.2026 auction (p. 1).
Plan to attend in person and carry your submission proof, and confirm the venue and time on the official notice before the day — a day-of update can change either. BiddingPulse does not run the auction or take bids; it only lays out what the notice says.
The earnest-money deposit (EMD)
The earnest-money deposit (EMD) is a refundable deposit you place before you can bid. GDA prints it as a rupee figure against each plot in the plot list — ₹63.24 lakh, for example, on a plot with a ₹6.32 crore reserve price (the published floor below which no bid counts). That is roughly 10% of the reserve, though the 10% is our arithmetic; the notice prints only the rupee amounts. — per the GDA plot list for the 17.07.2026 auction.
The notice sets the registration and brochure window, which is when the deposit is placed, as 27 June to 13 July 2026. The balance payment and allotment follow after the allotment letter, on the terms the brochure sets. — per the GDA auction notice dated 25.06.2026 (p. 1).
