As per the December 2023 DDA notification, individuals seeking to participate in the bidding process were obligated to submit Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) charges for the respective flats. These charges amounted to Rs 10 lakh for MIG-2BHK, Rs 15 lakh for HIG-3BHK, Rs 20 lakh for Super HIG-4BHK, and Rs 25 lakh for Penthouse-5BHK.

As outlined in the e-services notification from DDA, the e-auction for penthouses and MIG flats is scheduled to commence on January 5 at 11 a.m. and conclude at 12 p.m. The Super HIG e-auction will take place from 3 to 4 p.m. Additionally, the e-auction for HIG flats will occur on January 6 in two sessions: from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 3 pm to 4 pm.

Initially, the bidding process will last for one hour, and if in the last five minutes, any higher bid is placed, the bidding process will automatically be extended by five minutes. This process will be continued for a maximum of 20 times. So, any auction can go for a maximum period of 2 hours and 40 minutes (i.e., the initial 1 hour plus 20 x 5 minutes).
