Simple, Safe, Smart way of Applying for Public issues.
“Application Supported By Blocked Amount” [ASBA] Facility – made operational in our Bank with effect from 1st September 2010.

Applications Supported by Blocked Amount [ASBA] is an initiative by SEBI to make the process of Subscription to Capital Issues (Primary) more efficient. Under this system, the application money will remain in the account of the customer, earning interest till the allotment process is completed.

We offer this facility to our CASA account holders intending to invest in capital issues (public, debt and right issues).

A hold is created in the account of the customer to the extent of value of shares applied for in the primary market and the hold is released after the finalization of Basis of Allotment. The blocked amount is transferred to the issuer company to match the quantum of shares allotted.
