What is ASBA?
ASBA simply stands for Applications Supported by Blocked Amount. It a process developed by SEBI for applying to IPOs, Rights Issue and FPOs. In this, the amount is not debited from the customer’s bank account until the shares are not allotted to them. ASBA has the authority to block sufficient money in the customer’s bank account that would be required to subscribe to the IPO if allotted.
Note: you can only apply via the ASBA route if you are a retail investor and the application value is less than 2 lac.

How can I check the status of my IPO?
To check the status of your IPO, you need to visit the website of the IPO registrar and provide your PAN card number. You cannot access the status from Zerodha’s website.
What is the cut-off IPO price in Zerodha?
A cutoff price is one that is decided by the issuer company based on the demand for its shares. A customer can apply directly to the cutoff price instead of placing bids on different amounts. In this case, the investor will get the shares according to the cut-off price in other categories.
The payment status is showing \awaited execution\ after I accepted the mandate and made the payment. What do I do?
The \awaited execution\ implies that the mandate has been submitted. If the allotment is made to you, it will either get executed or revoked if you don’t get the allotment.
For any other queries, you can contact Zerodha support on their website or you can discuss and share your feedback here.
