In the months of March, June 2015, Feb & Sep 2020 State Bank of India (SBI) had successfully conducted its Mega e-Auction of residential and commercial properties located at various cities in India. SBI was able to sell around 40% of the 350 properties which were up for sale.
These properties were pledged as collateral for housing and other business loans and were taken over by the bank under the Security and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest (Sarfaesi) Act, due to non-payment of pending dues by the borrowers (meaning the property owner could not pay up the home loan / business loan availed of from the bank). The auction is aimed at bolstering the bank’s attempts at bad loan recovery.
SBI’s Mega e-Auction of Properties
SBI’s Mega e-Auction (online bidding of properties) is back again with more than 4000 properties for e-auction. The last date to participate in this mega auction is 30th Dec, 2020. As per the e-auction of properties mortgaged to banks website, there are currently 3317 residential, 935 commercial, 513 industrial and 9 agricultural properties to be auctioned.
The properties offered by the SBI e-auction will include all kinds of properties like housing, residential, commercial, industrial, etc. The properties which are auctioned in this online event are mortgaged properties.
I believe that for those willing to do some groundwork, buying a resale property in an online auction like this can be quite profitable. Most of the properties listed in the auction are generally available at lower than the market prices. Of-course, the final price is dependent on the winning bid amount. Also the entire electronic auction process is more transparent and quicker.
Since the bank is conducting the auction, the legal issues and documentation are taken care of. Buyers can take help from experts, such as the local real estate broker, to get an idea of the prices in that area before a bid.
Where are these properties located? – The properties that are listed for the auction are located at : Ahmedabad, Allahabad, Aurangabad, Bengaluru, Bhavnagar, Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, Burdwan, Chennai, Coimbatore, Cuttack, Delhi, Ernakulam, Gondhia, Hyderabad, Indore, Jaipur, Jalandhar, Kanpur, Kokhapur, Kolkata, Kalna, Lucknow, Ludhiana, Madurai, Mumbai, Nagpur, Navi Mumbai, Patna, Pune, Raipur, Rajkot, Ranchi, Salem, Secunderabad, Thane, Thiruvananthapuram, Tirupur, Vadodara, Valsad, Varanasi and Vizag.

Dear Srikanth reddy garu,
I have Two doubts
(1) how to find a litigation’s of a property which is owned in e-auction.
(2) I found a residential land offered by oriental bank of commerce in e-bidding.after owning the property can i get loan for house construction.if yes, can you please tell me the bankers name.
thank you
Dear Sudhakar,
1 – Before participating in e-auction (ie before paying Earnest Money Deposit of 25%), it is advisable to consult a local lawyer to get legal opinion about your shortlisted properties.
2 – I believe that you can get loan from any bank depending on your eligibility.You may check with OBC itself.
can i get housing loan to deposit 75% of bidding amount as i have already deposited 25% of bidding amount.
Dear Tirath,
Yes, home loan facility is available (depends on the eligibility of the borrower). Kindly contact your banker or SBI branch.
Can a successful bidder after paying 25% amount, can he withdraw after knowing litigation. These issues are found only after thoroughly verifying papers received from Bank.
Dear Bhaskar,
I believe that you may not get back the refund of 25% amount, but SBI has to take the final call and they have all the rights to do so.
Hi, i have paid full 100%, but they have not issued me sale certificate, they are denying to refund money. there is some litigation or stay on property. Who is responsible for loss of interest? Do you think we can file a legal complain? it is one month of 100% payment. Stil they are giving verbal answers. They are not giving anything in written
Dear Ekta ..If that is the case, I believe that you can take legal action. Kindly consult a civil lawyer.
Do you think they can refund money? It is under sarfaesi act 2002. But keeping 100% amount with them and not issuing any sale certificate is also wrong.
You can file a Counsumer case
I am interested for new property loan but my nearest SBI staff no take action of my information I am not satisfied from nearest my branch so I requested for senior department.
