At AstaGuru, we are committed to providing a seamless and secure auction experience for all our participants. To ensure the integrity and smooth functioning of our auctions, we require a fully refundable deposit from everyone who wishes to participate.

The deposit serves several important purposes:

• Security and Trust: It helps us maintain a trusted and secure auction environment. By collecting a deposit, we ensure that only serious bidders participate, which enhances the overall experience for all participants.
• Smooth Auction Process: The deposit acts as a safeguard against non-genuine bids, ensuring that all bids placed are credible and that the auction process proceeds smoothly without disruptions.
• Protection for Sellers and Buyers: It provides assurance to sellers that bidders are committed, which in turn protects the interests of all parties involved in the auction.

We have structured our deposit system to be fair and straightforward:

• Fully Refundable: Your deposit is fully refundable, whether or not you win the auction. If you do not place any bids or if your bids are unsuccessful, your deposit will be returned in full within 10 working days. If you win an item, your deposit will be applied towards your purchase.
• Tiered Deposit Amounts: The deposit amount you need to pay is based on the bidding limit you require. This tiered structure ensures that the deposit is proportional to the potential value of the bids you intend to place.

• Up to Rs. 20,00,000 Bidding Limit: Rs. 2,00,000 deposit
• Up to Rs. 30,00,000 Bidding Limit: Rs. 3,00,000 deposit
• Up to Rs. 50,00,000 Bidding Limit: Rs. 5,00,000 deposit
