The selected applicants will be contacted individually, the statement said. Tata also said that 55,021 applicants out of the 106,703 who had not been selected in the first phase had exercised the option of retaining their booking. They will be given preferential allotment in the second phase.
Additionally, they will be entitled to an interest of 8.5 per cent on the booking amount if the car is delivered within two years (June 23, 2011), and 8.75 per cent after that date. The booking amounts of the unsuccessful applicants shall be returned, the statement added.
The company will also be offering the unsuccessful applicants "an exciting offer on the Tata Indica range", the statement added.
