PROCESS
Viewing Works
All works will be on view prior to the sale. Bidders are encouraged to view
the works in person and discuss the condition with a representative from
Pundole’s. Written condition reports are also available upon request. Please
ensure that you request a condition report from Pundole’s on the lots that
may be of interest, prior to the sale. Condition Reports broadly will provide
details and information to the best of Pundole’s abilities, and Pundole’s
cannot be held liable for any information that is erroneously provided or not
mentioned. These reports have not been done by trained conservators. We
encourage you to get an additional professional assessment should you
need. Condition reports will broadly state the physical and visible, damaged
and restored areas of the artwork. If there is an area specifically mentioned, it
does not exclude other similar areas, and if there is a problem not mentioned,
it does not mean that they do not exist. Any statement by Pundole’s does not
constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by Pundole’s
of any kind.
Auction
The sale will be conducted in Indian Rupees.
All works have a price range or estimate indicated in the catalogue. The
estimate is the value assigned by Pundole’s to each work, keeping in mind
comparable market examples for objects and the artists’ larger body of work
for art works. Estimates are only indicative prices, and do not include buyer’s
premium or any taxes, which will be additional. All catalogue descriptions are
made to the best of Pundole’s knowledge, and are their opinion.
All works are sold subject to a reserve unless specifically indicated
otherwise. The reserve is the minimum price at which the consignor has
agreed to sell the work at, and in no case will exceed the low estimate of
a work. All reserves are kept confidential. Therefore, any bids below the
reserve will not be considered by the auctioneer to be a ‘selling price’.
Lots are usually opened for bidding below the low estimate, and increased in
increments of approximately 10%. Any absentee bids that do not meet a
standard bidding increment will be rounded down to the previous one. All
increments are solely at the discretion of the auctioneer.
Buyer’s Premium and Government Taxes
The final price payable for every lot will be the Hammer Price (the price at
which the auctioneer’s hammer falls) plus a Buyer’s Premium of 15%, plus
applicable Goods and Services Tax (GST) and import duties, as described
below.
All works are subject to a 15% Buyer’s Premium which will be added to the
Hammer Price of each sold lot. This 15% Buyer’s Premium will be subject
to applicable GST at 18%. (Taxes are subject to changes and revisions.)
All works will be subject to a 12% GST on the Hammer Price of each
work (excluding the Buyer’s Premium). (Taxes are subject to changes and
revisions.)
For works that have been imported into India (marked with a # in the
catalogue), an import duty of 11% (or as applicable at the time of payment)
on the hammer price will be applicable. A GST of 12% will be charged on the
total amount of the hammer price plus the import duty of 11% (or as
applicable at the time of payment).
POST SALE
Payment
All successful bidders will need to put down a deposit of ten percent of the
hammer price, either in cash or cheque or by bank transfer to guarantee their
purchase. Non-payment of all balance payments within fourteen days post
the sale may lead to forfeiture of the deposit.
All buyers will be responsible for all duties and taxes payable as a result of the
sale of the lot.
Two separate Proforma Invoices will be sent by email to the address
indicated on the registration form and on the email address provided. One
proforma invoice for the hammer price plus the GST and the second for
the buyer’s premium plus the GST. Any change to the invoicing name or
address as given on the registration form should be communicated to
accounts@pundoles.com within 48 hours of the auction. Two separate final
invoices will be raised for all purchases as stated here.
Payment should be made to Pundole’s within 14 days of the receipt of the
proforma invoice. Payment will only be accepted from the same party as
indicated on the invoice.
Payment will be accepted through cheques, wire transfers and demand drafts.
International buyers can pay through wire transfers. Invoices will be raised in
Indian Rupees. International buyers who have wire transferred money from
an overseas bank account can be exempt from paying GST and import duty
(only for applicable lots) on the hammer price if the work is directly exported
by Pundole’s through a licensed shipper, with the appropriate and required
documentation. GST will still be applicable on the buyer’s premium, even if
the lot is exported out of the country.
Cheques and demand drafts to be made out to Pundole’s. Cheques should
be drawn on a local Mumbai bank account only. For outstation payments,
only demand drafts shall be accepted, payable in Mumbai.

Collection and Shipping
Pundole’s can arrange for local delivery in Mumbai and shipping within

Shipping instructions should be clearly completed on the form provided with
the invoice, and should be sent back at the earliest. Shipping estimates are
available on request. Please contact shipping@pundoles.com for more
information. Any purchased lots not collected or shipped within 14 days of
the auction will be moved to professional storage, at the buyer’s expense.
Local buyers who have purchased lots imported into India will be obliged
to settle all invoices, including import duty, GST, etc. before such lots can
be released from a Free Trade Warehousing Zone for free circulation within
India.

in a Free Trade Warehousing Zone. These lots will be cleared and released for
free circulation within India from the FTWZ upon payment of customs duty

be borne by the buyer.
International buyers who have wire transferred money from an overseas
bank account can be exempt from paying GST and import duty on the
hammer price if the work is directly exported by Pundole’s through a licensed
shipper, with the appropriate and required documentation. GST will still be
applicable on the buyer’s premium, even if the lot is exported out of the
country.
All items that are either Registered with the Archaeological Survey of India,
or, are over one hundred years old, or, are National Treasures whether
specifically indicated in the catalogue or otherwise cannot be exported out
of India. Pundole’s have taken all efforts to determine such lots but do not
take responsibility for any lack of information or oversight.
Any works exported from India will be done in compliance with the export
and foreign exchange laws of the country. Similarly, when importing works
into a country, buyers should check on any import restrictions or applicable
duties before confirming a shipping location. While Pundole’s will assist
with both shipping and export, it is the buyer’s responsibility to be aware of
all import and export regulations and obtain any necessary licenses or
permissions.
All purchases must be collected or shipped within 28 days of the auction,
subject to the registration process. No works will be delivered or shipped
before all payments for purchases, shipping and insurance have been
completed. Pundole’s reserves the right to cancel a sale if payment is not
received within 45 days of the auction.
