MSTC e-Auction is an official digital marketplace where government departments, PSUs, banks, and corporations dispose of surplus, mortgaged, or non-performing assets through transparent online auctions.

Properties Commonly Available on MSTC

  • Government land parcels

  • Residential flats & houses

  • Commercial buildings, shops & offices

  • Industrial land, factories & warehouses

  • Liquidation and distressed properties

💡 Key Insight: These assets are often sold below prevailing circle rates due to liquidation timelines, bank recoveries, or surplus disposal.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Buy Property on MSTC e-Auction

Step 1: Register on MSTC Portal

Step 2: Search Property Listings

Step 3: Conduct Legal & Technical Due Diligence ⚖️

Before bidding, verify:

  • Title & ownership history

 Leegal Recommendation: Never bid without professional legal due diligence—this is where most buyers lose money.
