You will have to pay stamp duty as per circle rate of property

In sale deed you can mention consideration as 30 cr but when you submit document for registration you have to pay stamp duty as per circle rate

If there is no adequate response of the auction the bank can change the reserve price and date of cution also.

So modifying the reserve price from 48 cr to 30 cr is perfectly permissible unless you could show there is mala fide intention behind this.

Yes,after the sale certificate is issued in favour of the successful bidder the proeprty will have to be registered by way a deed of conveyance on payment usual stamp duty and registration fees.

Without a 30 days private notice to the borrower and the newspaper publication no valid auction is possible.

1. Bank can sell the property mortgaged with them on private treaty.

2. Ensure that proper documentation to that effect is completed,

3. In one case, the DRT has directed the Registrar to charge stamp duty and registration fee based on the price at which DRT has sold the property. You can take the said ground and if the Registrar refuse, you can file a Writ Petition before the High Court seeking relief.
