Application Supported by Blocked Amount (ASBA) in Equity Markets

Application Supported by Blocked Amount (ASBA) is a mechanism used in the Indian equity markets, primarily during Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and follow-on public offerings (FPOs) of shares. ASBA is designed to simplify and streamline the process of applying for shares in such offerings while ensuring that the investor's funds are temporarily blocked to meet the application requirements. This system was introduced by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to make the IPO application process more efficient, reduce fraudulent applications, and provide benefits to investors.
