IPO/Rights Application through ASBA (Application Supported by Blocked Amount)

 

With a large number of companies opting for public issues in the primary market to raise capital, you now have the option to pick and choose and be a part of their market growth. All you need are sufficient fund, a bank account and a Demat account, to get started with these public issues.

  2. The block will be released immediately upon finalization of allotment.
