All branches are enabled for Accepting & Processing ASBA Applications.

An Investor friendly way to apply for Primary markets & Keep earning interest without parting your money until stocks are allotted

What is ASBA:

  • ASBA means “Application Supported by Blocked Amount”, enables investors to apply for IPOs / FPOs and rights issues without making a payment. Instead, the amount is blocked in investors' own account and only an amount proportionate to the shares allotted goes out when allotment is finalized.
  • It is a supplementary process of applying in initial public offers (IPO), right issues and follow on public offers (FPO) made through book building route and co-exists with the current process of using cheque as a mode of payment and submitting applications.

Eligibility of Investors:

  • An application can have up to three bid options & it can be revised also. The lien will be marked on the highest value of the three bids.
  • Bids at cut-off price allowed only if total application Amt is less than or equal to Rs. 2,00,000 for investor category of Individual, Employee, Share holders.
  • One account can be blocked for maximum five applications in an IPO.
  • Revision and cancellation of bids for retail individual investors are permitted till the issue closure date and time. However for investors other than Retail, the revision is not permitted on the last day beyond 4 P.M.
