Trust & Safety

Built to be trusted

Verified bidders, verified sellers, payments through a regulated gateway and a named Grievance Officer — here is how Min-elam keeps an auction honest.

Verified bidders

Everyone signs in with a mobile number and OTP. Vehicle pools need Aadhaar verification; property and gold sales need PAN. We keep only what the sale needs.

Verified sellers

Only sellers that Min-elam has verified and onboarded can list. Every pool shows who is selling, and every lot carries its papers.

Safe payments

Fees and EMD are paid through an RBI-regulated payment gateway. Min-elam never sees or stores your card or UPI PIN. Refunds go back to where you paid from.

Genuine documents

Receipts, sale letters, certificates and release letters carry the Min-elam seal and stay in your app — download them again any time.

Your privacy

Other bidders see your token number, not your name or phone. Your data is used only to run the auction — see the Privacy Policy.

Fair bidding

Every lot closes on its own clock and a late bid extends it, so no one wins by sniping in the last second.

Stay safe

Min-elam will never ask you to

  • Share your OTP, UPI PIN or card details on a call
  • Pay a fee or deposit to a personal account or UPI ID
  • Pay to “reserve” a lot or to win without bidding
  • Install another app to take part

If someone does, it is not us. Report it to the help desk, and to the cyber crime helpline on 1930.
