If one is applying as an individual, the maximum you can apply for is Rs.2,00,000. Applications received where the bid amount is more than Rs.2,00,000 will be rejected if applied as individual.

If you want to make a bid for more than Rs.2,00,000, you’ve to choose the category as HNI (High Networth Individual)
