The auction is going to be conducted by SBICAP Trustee Company Ltd in association with Income Tax, and Service Tax department. The trustee company has, before this, tried selling the Kingfisher House by reducing its price from Rs 150 crore to Rs 135 crore, but still found no takers.

Several reports claim that SBI is owed the highest amount of Rs 1,600 crore. The other banks are Punjab National Bank and IDBI Bank, which are owed around R800 crore each. The loan amount from Bank of India is Rs 650 crore and from Bank of Baroda, it is Rs 550 crore. Central Bank of India gave a loan of around Rs 410 crore, while UCO Bank has to recover Rs 320 crore. Corporation Bank has to recover another Rs 310 crore. Other banks like State Bank of Mysore, Indian Overseas Bank, Federal Bank, Punjab & Sind Bank and Axis Bank also lent money to the company.
