In the new setup, the applicant who is applying for the IPO, will not have to send the money to the registrar of the IPO. Instead, the money will remain in his bank account, but in a locked state. Once the allocation is complete, the required amount of money will be transferred to the Registrar of the IPO and the balance money will be set free from the locked state.
This will completely eliminate the process of refund.. As I’ve explained in this article, Should you invest in IPO’s, now the calculations for interest rate earnings will have to re-worked. It is not clear whether the locked money will be eligible to earn any interest or not, but atleast there will be no problems with the delayed refunds, the postal delays in case of paper cheques and other reasons given by registrars for delaying the refund payment. Not only that, it will also save a lot on Postal charges & costs.
