“Delhi-based Anant Raj group was the owner before Essel Group bought it. Anant Raj group had planned to redevelop the plot and sell independent floors but couldn’t get the necessary permissions,” said one person familiar with the matter.

The auction is taking place after National Company Law Tribunal approved Adani properties private limited (APPL), A Dani Group company to acquire 3, Bhagwan Das road for Rs 400 crore.

The bank has asked interested parties to inspect the property on working days between November 2, 2020 to November 7, 2020 (both inclusive) between 10:30 am to 5:30 pm with prior notice.

The last date to submit the Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) is November 9.

EMD is 10% of the reserved price.

“Bank auctions do not impact the market price in Lutyens' Delhi as the takers for such properties are few. The prospective buyers usually look for clean properties and are willing to wait. Even the sellers are willing to wait to get the right price,” said Rohit Chopra, founder of Southdelhiprime, a boutique real estate consultancy firm.

YES bank did not respond to the email query till press time.

“We would not like to comment on this since the matter is subjudice,” said an Essel group spokesperson.

YES bank has said that property will not be sold in less than the reserved price.

The balance 75% of the purchase price shall have to be paid within 15 days of confirmation of the sale by the bank,” bank has said in the notice.
