IPO Application Form (ASBA Bid Form) — Create & Download

An IPO application form, or ASBA bid form, is the document used to apply for shares in an Initial Public Offering. It records your name, PAN, demat (DP) account, category, number of lots and bid price. Under the ASBA (Application Supported by Blocked Amount) process, your bank blocks the bid amount in your account instead of debiting it, and the money is only debited if you receive an allotment.

Sign in to IPO Ji and open the IPO Application Form page. Select an active IPO, choose the demat account(s) you want to create forms for, pick your investor category (Retail, sHNI, bHNI or Shareholder) and enter the number of lots. Review the calculated quantity, amount and saved account details before downloading the pre-filled PDF for submission through an eligible bank or intermediary.

Yes. Creating and downloading IPO bid application forms on IPO Ji is completely free. You only need to sign in and have at least one demat account linked to your profile.

ASBA stands for Application Supported by Blocked Amount. When you apply for an IPO, your bank blocks (holds) the bid amount in your account rather than transferring it out. The funds stay in your account and continue to earn interest. If shares are allotted, the exact amount is debited; if you get no allotment or a partial allotment, the blocked amount is released back to you.

Categories are decided by your application value. Retail (RII) is for applications up to ₹2,00,000. Small HNI (sHNI) is for applications above ₹2,00,000 and up to ₹10,00,000. Big HNI (bHNI) is for applications above ₹10,00,000. The Shareholder category is a reserved quota for existing shareholders of the parent company and is only shown when an IPO offers it.

IPO Ji can generate forms for up to 20 linked demat accounts in one batch. Each form must still follow the issue rules: a person should submit only one application per PAN for the same IPO, because multiple applications using the same PAN are liable to be rejected.

IPO Ji flags selected accounts that are missing bank details and lets you add them from your profile. You may download a partially pre-filled form without those details, but you must review and complete every field required by the issue and the receiving bank or intermediary before submission.

Each generated bid form carries an application (bid) number that uniquely identifies your IPO application. You use it to track your bid and to check your allotment status once the basis of allotment is finalised.

Yes. Every form you create is saved under View Forms, where you can search your applications by IPO name, applicant name or PAN and download the PDF again at any time.

Yes. IPO Ji prepares a pre-filled ASBA bid form from the details you provide, but it does not submit the application. Review the form and issue instructions, then submit through an eligible Self Certified Syndicate Bank or another designated intermediary that accepts the application.
