ASBA can used to apply for IPOs, FPOs, rights issues etc. In ASBA, the designated bank account only gets blocked to the extent of the application money. On the date of allotment, the amount gets debited to the extent of allotted shares and the balance gets released. If zero shares are allotted to the applicant, then the entire blocked amount under ASBA is released.<\/p><h5 class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Who can make an ASBA investment?<\/strong><\/span><\/h5><p class=\"MsoNormal\">ASBA is mandatory for all\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/trade\/ipo-listing\">IPOs<\/a>\u00a0after January 01st\u00a02016.

There are two distinct situations here. If the IPO has not closed, you can cancel the ASBA application through your online trading account or through the bank. Your SCSB will cancel the bid and unblock the amount right away. However, if you withdraw after the issue closes, then you have to write to the registrar to cancel the bid. The SCSB will only remove the block after the allotment is complete and they get intimation from the registrar.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ASBA (applications supported by blocked amounts) was introduced by SEBI to protect the interests of the retail investors.
