E-Auction Under IBC
Online auctions, also known as e-Auctions, aid in price determination and assist sellers in obtaining the best possible price for their goods or services.
Offline auctions are expensive and take a lot of time and money. It's also bothersome for bidders to be physically present for the bidding at the designated time and location, especially when they know there can only be one winner and everyone else will have to leave.
Online auctions are very economically efficient and save both bidders and sellers money and time. The entire eAuction procedure is transparent and competent, guaranteeing accurate price discovery and maximum participation because bidders can take part from any location in the world.
