  3. I O C approved my dealership but I have confusion in my bid amount ,How can I check now my bid amount ?

  4. I certainly know that the process of draw of lots for the selection of RO dealership is full of making….let me ask u how come the same person who applied for different locations in different names got selected always by your computer…. is it not a preprogrammed so that the computer would always be in favour of that person?. The process is corrupted and there is a match fixing here… It is impossible the person is lucky enough in every time when the draw is done got selected… this is unjust and unfair.
