ASBA (Applications Supported by Blocked Amount)

New Investor friendly way to apply for IPOs

Bank of Baroda is committed to continuously enhance its offerings with innovative services leveraging advanced technology to provide maximum banking convenience to its customers.

As a "Self Certified Syndicate Bank" (SCSB) by SEBI, an additional mode for applying in IPO / FPO / Right Issues and NFO of Mutual Funds has been made available by our Bank in the form of Application Supported by Blocked Amount (ASBA) to All category of Investors who are the customers of our Bank.

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.
  
  
• Bank is providing this value added service free of cost for issues with book building at Stock Exchanges.

Benefits of ASBA to Investors:-

• The investor need not pay the application money by cheque rather block his/her bank account to the extent of the application money, thus continue to earn interest on blocked money in the account.
  
  
• The investor does not have to bother about refunds, as in ASBA only an amount proportionate to the securities allotted is taken from the bank account when his/her application is selected for allotment after the basis of allotment is finalized.
  
  
• The application form is simpler and can be downloaded from BSE / NSE websites and need not to visit the office of broker / consultant to collect blank form or deposit the filled up form.
  
  
• The investor deals with the known intermediary i.e. his/her own bank.
