2. Corrigenda: AMAP may amend, clarify or supplement the auction notice through a corrigendum. A duly issued subsequent corrigendum prevails over an earlier inconsistent auction document.

3. Sale basis: Assets are offered on an “as is, where is” basis.

4. Reserve prices and increments: Bids below an asset’s reserve price will not be accepted. Bids must be raised in multiples of the minimum increment prescribed for that asset.

5. Earnest money: Earnest money is 10% of each asset’s reserve price and is payable separately for each asset. A bidder intending to bid for more than one asset must register and deposit earnest money separately for each asset.

6. Earnest money payment method: Earnest money must be deposited online through PSID (Payment Slip ID) into AMAP’s designated bank accounts using the digital auction platform. Pay orders, banker’s cheques, demand drafts and cash deposits are not accepted.

7. Earnest money adjustment and refunds: The successful bidder’s earnest money will be adjusted against the sale consideration. Unsuccessful bidders, other than the second-highest bidder, will receive refunds within 10 working days of the auction’s close. The second-highest bidder’s earnest money will remain blocked until the earlier of confirmation of sale to the highest bidder and payment of the next required amount, or expiry of the bid-validity period, and will then be refunded within 10 working days.

8. Interest and compensation: AMAP will not pay profit, markup, interest, compensation or cost of funds on earnest money or any other deposited amount, whether refundable or forfeited.

9. Bid validity: The highest bid remains valid and irrevocable for 90 days from the auction date. AMAP may, at its sole discretion, grant a one-time extension on the successful bidder’s request stating reasons.

10. Withdrawal or modification: If the successful bidder withdraws, reduces or seeks to modify the bid within its validity period, the entire deposit is liable to forfeiture and the bidder may be debarred from future AMAP auctions.

11. Failure to pay: If a bidder fails to deposit the successful bid amount within the stipulated period, AMAP may offer the asset to the second-highest bidder on the same terms and conditions, at its sole discretion and after due process, or disqualify the errant bidder.

12. Actual area: Assets are sold according to measured or actual ground area. If the area delivered is less than the area stated, the sale consideration will be reduced proportionately at the accepted bid rate. Additional area delivered will be charged at the same rate.

13. Asset information: A complete Asset Information Sheet for each asset is available on the designated digital auction platform.

14. Bidder due diligence: Bidders must independently satisfy themselves about each asset’s location, area, boundaries, physical condition, title, entries in the relevant records, encumbrances, access, services, facilities and all other relevant matters before bidding. AMAP will not be liable to reopen, cancel or adjust an auction, or rescind it on the ground of non-inspection or unawareness of any such matter.

15. Description corrections: A bona fide error in an asset’s description does not by itself annul the auction. AMAP may rectify the error with approval from the competent forum.

16. Invitation to offer: The auction notice is an invitation to offer, rather than an offer. A bid is an offer by the bidder. A contract, right, title or interest in an asset does not arise in a bidder’s favour until AMAP accepts the bid through written confirmation and issuance of a Letter of Award.

17. Payment schedule: The successful bidder must deposit 25% of the total bid amount within 30 days of issuance of the Letter of Award and the balance within the stipulated 90-day period. Payments include adjustment of the earnest money.

18. Payment channel: All payments must be made online through PSID into the account specified by AMAP. Pay orders, demand drafts and cash deposits are not accepted.

19. Conveyance expenses: Stamp duty, conveyance expenses and every payment required by the successful bidder under the auction notice are payable by the successful bidder.

20. Payment extension: If the successful bidder fails to make a payment by its due date, AMAP may, subject to its satisfaction with the reasons and at its sole discretion, grant a one-time extension of no more than 30 days. A written request must be submitted before expiry of the due date.

21. Default and cancellation: If the successful bidder fails to make a due deposit or installment, or fails to obtain conveyance within 30 days of paying the entire sale consideration, the sale will be cancelled under the Registration Act, 1908, and the mutation attested under the Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1967. The bidder’s entire earnest money and other deposits will be forfeited.

22. Transfer of ownership: A bid or Letter of Award does not transfer, assign or otherwise deal with ownership before payment of the entire sale consideration and execution of the conveyance, subject to prior written approval of the Cabinet Committee.

23. Taxes and charges: All taxes, fees and charges payable by the successful bidder under prevailing laws are the bidder’s responsibility. Bid amounts are construed as exclusive of such taxes and charges.

24. Subsequent changes in charges: Any variation in the rate of a tax, duty or charge occurring after the auction notice date is for the successful bidder’s account.

25. Conflicts of interest: Neither AMAP nor its operators or other platform staff may bid for any auction asset or associate with a bidder’s end. Where a failure occurs in the platform itself, the presiding officer may suspend, extend or reschedule bidding for the affected asset, recording reasons in writing.

26. Platform disruption: If a material platform outage, cyber incident, communication failure, natural disaster, court order or other event beyond reasonable control compromises equal participation or auction integrity, AMAP may suspend, extend, reschedule or cancel the affected auction.

27. Electronic records and misconduct: Electronic bids, records, communications and signatures generated during the auction are valid, enforceable and admissible as evidence under applicable law. Unauthorized access, interference or manipulation of the platform constitutes an offence under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act, 2016, and may result in disqualification, forfeiture of the deposited amount and blacklisting.

28. Account security and prohibited practices: Each bidder is responsible for keeping login credentials confidential. Every bid placed through a bidder’s credentials is deemed to have been placed by that bidder. Proxy bidding, bots, coordinated bid suppression, false accounts, tampering and other manipulation are prohibited.

29. Disposal Committee recommendation: At the close of the auction, the Disposal Committee may declare or announce the highest eligible bidder. The highest bid does not create a vested right. Disposal Committee recommendations remain subject to possession requirements and formal approval or confirmation by the Cabinet Committee and other conditions being fulfilled.

30. Auction approval: The auction result will be placed before AMAP under Section 14(6) of the Act and remains subject to formal approval of the Cabinet Committee.

31. AMAP’s powers: AMAP may reject any bid, cancel or postpone an auction, or withdraw an asset from the sale schedule without assigning reasons.

32. Publication: The auction notice will be published on AMAP’s website and the designated digital auction platform, and in at least two daily newspapers, one Urdu and one English, with wide circulation, at least 15 days before the auction date.

33. Communications: A notice, letter or other communication sent to the email address or mobile number given by a bidder during registration, or uploaded against the bidder’s registration on the digital auction platform, is deemed validly served on the transmission or uploading date.

34. Governing language: In the event of a discrepancy between English and Urdu versions of the Act, Auction Notice or other information, the English version prevails.

35. Good-faith protection: No suit, prosecution or other legal proceeding lies against AMAP, its members, officers, employees, advisers or consultants for anything done or intended in good faith under the Act or Auction Notice, in terms of Section 41 of the Act.

36. Severability: If a term or condition of the auction notice is found invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, it will be severed and the remaining terms and conditions will continue in full force.

37. Personal data and disclosure: Prospective bidders’ personal data will not be disclosed except as required by law or a competent court. AMAP will publish each asset number, the accepted bid and the successful bidder’s name, and will place the auction record before the Auditor-General of Pakistan and any other authority legally entitled to it.

38. Detailed requirements: Detailed Auction Terms and Conditions, relevant Asset Information Sheets and registration requirements may be obtained from AMAP’s office or downloaded from the designated digital auction platform.
