Answer
Retail investors can invest up to ₹2,00,000 using this UPI-based ASBA process.
To apply for an IPO via Angel One:
- Open the app, tap ‘IPO’ or find it under ‘Investment Opportunities’.
- Select the IPO, view details (price band, lot size).
- Tap ‘Apply Now’. Enter lots and bidding price (often ‘cut-off’ for retail).
- Enter your linked UPI ID.
- Tap ‘Invest’ and confirm. Approve the mandate request on your UPI app (e.g., BHIM, Google Pay) to block the funds. The funds remain in your bank until allotment.
Key Notes:
- The blocked amount will be unblocked automatically in case of non-allotment.
- Make sure your UPI ID is linked to your bank account.
- High Net-Worth Individuals (HNI) investing over ₹2 lakh needs the ASBA process through your bank.
