KVB started offering ASBA facility
ASBA means “Application Supported by Blocked Amount”. ASBA is an application containing an authorization to block the application money in the bank account, for subscribing to an issue. If an investor is applying through ASBA, his application money shall be debited from the bank account only if his/her application is selected for allotment after the basis of allotment is finalized, or the issue is withdrawn/failed.
Under ASBA facility, investors can apply in any public/ rights issues by using their bank account. Investor submits the ASBA form (available at the designated branches of the banks acting as SCSB) after filling the details like name of the applicant, PAN number, demat account number, bid quantity, bid price and other relevant details, to their banking branch by giving an instruction to block the amount in their account. In turn, the bank will upload the details of the application in the bidding platform. Investors shall ensure that the details that are filled in the ASBA form are correct otherwise the form is liable to be rejected.
SEBI has been specifying the investors who can apply through ASBA. In public issues w.e.f. May 1, 2010 all the investors can apply through ASBA.
In rights issues, all shareholders of the company as on record date are permitted to use ASBA for making applications provided he/she/it: a. is holding shares in dematerialized form and has applied for entitlements or
additional shares in the issue in dematerialised form;

d. who is applying through blocking of funds in a bank account with the SelfCertified Syndicate Bank.

Applying through ASBA facility has the following advantages:
(i) The investor need not pay the application money by cheque rather the investor submits ASBA which accompanies an authorization to block the bank account to the extent of the application money.
(ii) The investor does not have to bother about refunds, as in ASBA only that much money to the extent required for allotment of securities, is taken fromthe bank account only when his application is selected for allotment after the basis of allotment is finalized.(iii) The investor continues to earn interest on the application money as the same remains in the bank account, which is not the case in other modes of payment.
(iv) The application form is simpler.
(v) The investor deals with the known intermediary i.e. its own bank.
