Groww IPO Apply steps using Net Banking ASBA

  • Open your net banking app (SBI, BOI, HDFC, ICICI, Axis, Kotak, etc.).

  • Go to the IPO section 
  • Select the IPO you want to apply for from the list
  • Enter your Details like Bid Quantity, Lot size, and Price

  • Check all the details and confirm the IPO by clicking on Apply

Once submitted, your funds will be blocked until allotment. If you get allotment, the IPO money will be debited from the account. And if you did not get the allotment, the funds will get unblocked on the very next day of the allotment.
