About 67% of the total applicants (1,37,687 people) wanted to retain their bookings if in case they are not selected in the first draw. The company will return the booking amounts to those applicants who lost in the first draw and did not opt for the second draw. For the base model of Tata Nano, the booking amount was 95,000, Rs. 1,20,000 for the mid-level model and Rs.1,40,000 for the high-end model. The applicants who wanted to retain their bookings would be directly paid 8.5% interest on their booking amounts if their car is delivered within two years from the date of allotment and 8.75% if it takes more than two years.
Those who would not win the draw have a consolation prize. For unsuccessful applicants, Tata Motors is going to offer “Tata Indica Vista scheme.”

I have booked CX varient which cost 1,20,000/- and I was successful. Now I am not sure if I am lucy as this will cost me 3339 booking amount + 18900 as interest (as I am going for Finance) + 1,20,000 at the time of delivery + 23000 Registration + Other Cost So basicaly I will endup paying 185000 aproximatly at the time of delivery. Which I think is too high for the car which lacks basic features.
