MALLIKARJUN BALI AND S. B. KAMASHETTY

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

The market regulator (SEBI) has introduced, vide its circular dated July 30, 2008, a new mode called Application Supported by Blocked Amount (ASBA) for submitting bid for Initial Public Offer (IPOs), Follow-on Public Offer (FPOs) and Right Issue (RIs). With the introduction of this mode, the Retail investors have an option to submit bid either through existing mode or through this new mode. Under the conventional mode, retail investors have to pay the application money while submitting bid. However, under this new mechanism, the investor need not pay application amount upfront, where as, the banker simply blocks the application amount in investors account. The new move will enable the investors to earn interest on the money so blocked besides making the issue process more efficient and less time consuming.
