The process involves the Bank of Baroda seeking approval from the District Magistrate. Upon obtaining the DM's approval, the winning bidder will gain physical possession of the property.

In the virtual auction, the highest bidder will gain symbolic possession of the bungalow. Upon DM's endorsement, the bidder can assume actual possession, a process that may span from several months to years.
