People mortgage their home, plots, shops or land in order to get a handsome amount of money from which they can do a good business. Those people who aren’t able to pay the installment per month are snatched of their homes, plot, land or shop. People who have taken loans against their homes are forced to leave their house by the mortgage lender.

Then the government is compelled to forfeit their home away on which the loan was approved. These properties are then being auctioned in the public places. Many buyers come there in order to get it for the lowest bid and they may get the highest money of profit. The minimum bid is chosen by the government or the banks which includes the value of the property and the amount of Taxes to be paid to the government. If during the auction, a person offers a highest bid and no one else is needs it at that high bid. Then that person wins the auction. Then the government subtracts the taxes from it from the time it wasn’t been given till the present date. The person winning the bid has to pay the taxes of the home purchased the cost of the Penalty, cost for the auction and the value of the house purchased. The value of the House is given to the real owner which makes him home less but he gets the present value money of the house.
