What we charge
Every amount below includes GST at 18% where GST applies, and every charge
brings a tax invoice, so a buyer registered under GST can take the input credit.
A deposit is not a charge. Earnest money in the insurance sector and the
Genuineness Certified Amount in the private sector are your money, held and given back. No GST arises
on them, and they are shown in blue below to keep them apart from what we actually charge.
INSURANCE SECTOR – BUYERS
| WHAT | WHEN | HOW MUCH |
| Registering | | FREE |
| Earnest money on a listing |
before you can bid on it; held as a balance, so one deposit can cover
several listings, and given back when it is not committed |
15% of the expected price |
| Participation charge |
when the listing is settled, from every buyer who bid on it |
Rs 500.00 |
| Charge on a winning offer |
when the listing is settled, from the buyer whose offer the company accepted; it comes
out of his earnest money, and the rest of that money goes to the company |
1% of his winning offer |
| Seeing the final result of a closed listing |
only if you did not bid on it; a buyer who bid sees it at no charge |
Rs 100.00 |
Nobody is charged where the company refused every offer and the best offer was above
90% of its expected price. In that case the buyers are refunded in full and the company bears
Rs 100 for each bid placed.
INSURANCE SECTOR – COMPANIES PUTTING ITEMS UP
| WHAT | WHEN | HOW MUCH |
| Registering, listing, extending a listing, recording a decision |
| FREE |
| Refusing every offer when the best one was above 90% of your expected price |
payable within a month of the refusal |
Rs 100 for each bid placed |
Below 90%, refusing the offers costs nothing.
PRIVATE SECTOR – BUYERS
| WHAT | WHEN | HOW MUCH |
| Registering, and placing an offer |
any registered buyer may bid, verified or not |
FREE |
| Registration fee for a Genuineness Certified Account |
once, when you choose to become verified |
Rs 5,000.00 |
| The Genuineness Certified Amount itself |
kept with us while you are verified, and given back when you ask, less
anything a seller has rightly claimed against it |
Rs 20,000.00 or more |
| Adding to your deposit later |
each time; the addition itself is a deposit and carries no GST |
Rs 200.00 |
| Guarantee amount, if you do not honour an offer the seller accepted |
on a complaint we have checked and upheld; taken out of your deposit |
as agreed on your account |
| Seeing the final result of a closed listing |
only if you did not bid on it, and are not the surveyor who listed it |
Rs 100.00 |
Taking your deposit back ends your verified standing. To be verified again later you
register again and the registration fee applies afresh. There is no charge for the refund
itself.
PRIVATE SECTOR – SURVEYORS, LOSS ASSESSORS AND OWNERS
| WHAT | WHEN | HOW MUCH |
| Registering, listing, extending a listing, seeing the offers on your own items |
| FREE |
These are the charges as they stand today. We may change them, and the page will show the
new figures; a change does not affect money already deposited or a listing already open.
