auction of property must have taken in presence of recovery officer . RO DRT must have passed an order accepting your bid . time must hav ebeen provifded for you to make full payment . when full payment is made case will appear on baord for confirmation of sale . then directions will be issued By Ro for prpearation of sale deed . it will take some time . dont panic .

1- time not prescribed.2-Not legally but instances are there where these mischief have occurred while subsequent to auction debtor arranges the debt and the same is entertained by the bank refunding the money of bidder but it is as exception and not as general.3-They shall not on there own but there would be cause of action to sue them for specific performance as well as for damages in alternate even after accepting the money back but under protest.
However as advised no panic is desirable,wait peacefully for ten days.

It's general observation in such cases bank dont co-operate once the amount recovered from purchaser.follow up the deal and get completed from registrar of your area.

I agree with Mr.Ajay Sethi. You will have to wait till confirmation of sale by RO, DRT. Even after confirmation, many times, banks take lot of time for further process. You need to follow-up with the Bank after confirmation of sale by RO, DRT.
