Introduction:

Canara Bank is one of the leading " Merchant Bankers / Investment Bankers" in India, offering specialized services related to Capital Market to Banks, PSUs, State owned Corporations, Local Statutory bodies, Corporate sector including MSMEs.

We are SEBI registered Category I Merchant Banker (holding permanent certificate of registration) and also hold SEBI Certificate of Permanent Registration to handle "Bankers to an Issue" assignments. We are also a Self-Certified Syndicate Bank for extending Application Supported by Blocked Amount (ASBA) facility through our Branches.

A S B A [Applications Supported by Blocked Amount] Enabled SCSB

Applications Supported by Blocked Amount [ASBA] is an initiative by SEBI to make the process of Subscription to Capital Issues (Primary) more efficient. Under this system, the application money will remain in the account of the customer, earning interest till the allotment process is completed.

We offer this facility to our CASA account holders intending to invest in capital issues (both public and right issues).

A hold is created in the account of the customer to the extent of value of shares applied for in the primary market and the hold is released after the finalization of Basis of Allotment. The blocked amount is transferred to the issuer company to match the quantum of shares allotted.

The following are the requirement for applying through the ASBA process by the Account holder:

  • Account holder / Investor should be from the approved category eligible to apply as per SEBI guidelines.
  • Should have a Savings / Current account (CASA) with us linked with Permanent Account Number (PAN).
  • Should have a Demat Account with a Depository Participant linked with same PAN number.
  • CASA account and Demat Account both should linked with same PAN.
  • Availability of sufficient balance in the account for creating a hold in the account to the extent of application money required/mentioned in the ASBA application, above the minimum balance.

The following options are available to the ASBA investor:

  • As per SEBI guidelines, Investor shall use only his/her own bank account linked with Permanent Account Number (PAN) to make an application in public issues.
  • Applications made using third party bank account or using third party linked bank account are liable for rejection. In other words, the applicant and the account holder should be the same and PAN should match.
  • ASBA Application can be submitted at our branches and Package can also be accessed through Internet Banking/Mobile Banking.
  • ASBA applications can also be submitted through intermediary by using UPI linked Bank account.
  • Option available to the investor to revise the bid/delete the bid within the bidding period.
