When the Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) launched its property portal, it was pitched as a digital revolution — a one-stop place for buying and selling HSVP plots. At first, it sounded exciting: no brokers, no confusion, just a direct, transparent process.
But when you step into the shoes of an actual buyer or seller, things look very different.
As Haryana’s HSVP department is ready to launch an E-Aution portal for Sale-Purchase of property, Many people are skeptical and especially lot of property dealers are in dilemma that there work will be snatched by the Government but there are major reasons that this portal will not be able to perform as it seems in the documents. Let’s discuss them below.
1. Only for HSVP Plots — Too Narrow to Matter
The first reality check is scope. The portal is only for HSVP plots. Imagine a developer creating a shiny new website where you can buy or sell only their own flats — but not the rest of the properties in that city. That’s exactly what HSVP has done.
If you’re looking for a private residential plot, industrial land, or agricultural property — this portal won’t help you.
2. Auction-Based System Doesn’t Match the Market
Property sales in Haryana — or anywhere in India — rarely happen through auctions. Buyers and sellers prefer discussions, negotiations, and flexibility. The portal, however, forces you into a rigid auction system.
Think of it like trying to sell your car only through a bidding website, when most people would rather meet face-to-face, talk, and close the deal at a mutually agreed price.
3. No Hand-Holding in Documentation
Buying property isn’t like buying a mobile phone online. There are legal documents, compliance checks, and registrations involved. The portal, unfortunately, leaves all this responsibility to the buyer and seller.
If you’re a first-time buyer, this can be overwhelming. Without guidance, mistakes can happen — and in real estate, even small mistakes can cost lakhs.
4. Transactions Look Too Rigid
All transactions here are bank-based, locked into the system. While that may look neat on paper, in real-world deals, payments are often phased, structured, and adjusted based on progress. The portal doesn’t leave room for this flexibility, making it feel mechanical and disconnected from how property deals actually work.
5. No Middlemen — But That’s Not Always a Good Thing
The portal promises “no middlemen.” But here’s the irony: in real estate, middlemen aren’t always villains. Brokers and consultants often play the role of guides — explaining terms, helping with paperwork, and ensuring compliance.
On this portal, newbies are left on their own. It’s like asking someone to drive a car without ever teaching them how to handle the steering wheel.
6. Commission Comes First
Another sore point — the government takes its commission upfront, transferring it into a wallet before the deal is fully settled. For most buyers and sellers, this feels like putting the cart before the horse. Trust is built when the process flows naturally, not when money is locked in before clarity.
7. The Ironic Twist — You’ll Still Need Middlemen
Even though the portal was designed to cut out brokers, in practice, people will still end up hiring brokers, lawyers, or consultants to navigate it. And once that happens, the entire purpose of “direct and easy” gets defeated.
