Sale of movable property falling under rule 15 or of value not exceeding Rs. 40 or greater value.-Sales of property under the proviso to rule 15 and of movable property not exceeding forty rupees in value, shall be held on the spot. Such sales will necessarily be conducted by peons when they are attaching officers. Sales of movable property of greater value can, under rule 46, take place only after the issue of a proclamation, but they may be held on the spot or at the sadar or sub divisional headquarters, as may seem convenient and conducive to the securing of good prices, provided that the place and time of sale are notified in the proclamation. For such sales officers of higher rank than peons should always be deputed when the value of the property is estimated to exceed Rs. 50 and proclamation should be issued. When the value is between Rs. 40 and Rs. 50, the Deputy Commissioner or Certificate Officer may, by a special order, depute a peon, if he considers it desirable to do so.
