Getting Started: Registration

Prerequisites:

  • A valid Class III Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) with the Firm’s Name issued by a licensed Certifying Authority.
  • A computer with Internet connectivity and Internet Explorer (IE 6 or IE 7+).
  • A valid Email ID.
  • A One-Time Refundable Registration Fee of Rs. 10,000.
  • An affidavit duly notarized on stamp paper (format available on the IREPS Auction Home page).

How to Register:

Online Registration: Fill the "New Bidder" form on the IREPS website, sign with your DSC, and pay the fee via the Payment Gateway. You will receive a system-generated ID to take to the nearest depot for activation.

Manual Registration: Approach the nearest depot (addresses available on the website) with the fee, affidavit, request letter, and DSC.

Payments: EMD and Lien

Understanding Your Bidding Limit

Your ability to bid depends on your Total Bidding Limit, which is 10 times the sum of your Standing Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) and Lien Amount.

Bidding Limit = 10 * (Standing EMD + Lien Amount)

Standing EMD: This is money deposited directly into the Railway's account via online payment or manual deposit.

Lien Facility (Recommended): You can integrate your SBI account with IREPS. This allows you to "Mark" (block) funds in your own bank account for bidding purposes without transferring them to Railways immediately.
