@Bhai, why you are not applying directly from Yes security? I have account with ICICI Direct link with ICICI Bank since last 20 years. please close the account in yes security and open new account with ICICI.
very nominal cost. it not going from our pocket. it is from profit earned. if you good service, then you need to pay something. Just like 5star hotel vs depart.
In the last month, ICICI has changed the IPO application page, and have made only NSDL applications possible. CDSL demat details option have been removed. Not been able to apply for the last 3-4 IPOs through ICICI ASBA.
It's bad for both applicants and bank. They can't put DIRECT down under our throat. I was not able to apply in Shigan, so I transfered my funds to another bank and applied from there. Thankfully I realised it on time and taken action. Why keep funds in any bank, if you cannot use it ( IPO or any way).
One should close ICICI Bank account and move to other bank which provide this facility. It is high time that investors fight for their rights on their own and punish any company which un-ethically restricts banking transaction to protect their non-banking business.
I have already lodged email complaint with ICICI BANK - CUSTOMER CARE. Having not satisfied with the reply received, I escalated the issue with LEVEL-2 of ICICI BANK. As I am using CDSL Demat with Zerodha for ASBA applications through ICICI BANK, today I raised ticket to Zerodha also as furnished below. Let us see the outcome of my complaint.
Ticket raised to Zerodha
Sub: Failed attempts of my ASBA applications using my CDSL Demat with Zerodha through ICICI BANK ASBA (Net Banking) –Reg.
1) I use to apply for IPOs mostly under NII category and always through ICICI BANK ASBA (Net Banking) using my CDSL Demat with Zerodha and got several shares allotted and credited to my Demat A/c. I have linked this ICICI BANK A/c as my primary A/c for my trading A/c with Zerodha. As UPI method is for Retail category only, it is not suitable for me.
2) Of late, the ICICI BANK ASBA has stopped this facility of using any other Demat with any other Stock Brokers and restricted to the ICICI BANK DP ID only. So my ASBA applications, under NII Category, through ICICI BANK ASBA, for recently closed Shigam and SP Refractories SME IPOs, using Zerodha DP ID, have become failed attempts. There is no proper reply from ICICI BANK for my email complaint. Now I have taken up the complaint with Level-2.
3) Under these circumstances, please intimate me how to apply for forthcoming IPOs, through ASBA, under NII category, using your DP ID / Client ID.
4) I believe, the recent act of ICIC BANK for blocking ASBA IPO applications in respect of other Demats (i.e. other than ICICI BANK Demat) with other Stock Brokers (i.e. other than ICICI Direct), would be NOT IN ORDER in its capacity as SCSB (Self Certified Syndicate Bank). In fact, the ICICI BANK is blocking the business of other Stock Brokers and so this case deserves to be taken up with SEBI.

Very well done DEVbull, i also sent mail to ICICI customer care regarding smae.
It seems, the Zerodha is having ready made reply to my query. They have replied within half an hour as below. They are just suggesting me to go for some other bank. Its seems they will not take up the issue with SEBI or ICICI BANK even though their business is affected.
“As per your query, this is the issue from ICICI bank and as you know you will not be able to apply for an IPO in the HNI category through Zerodha using the UPI ASBA process on Console. This bidding process is only available for investor categories where the application size is limited to 2 lac rupees (i.e. retail and in some cases the shareholder category).
You can still apply for an IPO as an HNI through the net banking ASBA service provided by your bank and this is not mandatory that you can apply only from the linking bank account with Zerodha. If you are facing the issue in ICICI ASBA and if you have any other bank account which provides ASBA facility then you can apply the IPO from that bank account also. Click here to see the list of SCSBs (around 56 banks)”

2) Now I will wait for final reply from ICICI BANK
@IPO BHAKT, @BHAV, @Ram kumar I And all other forum members who affected. I have taken up the matter with Level -2 officer in ICICI BANK. His name is Shri. Jeffin Vennookkaran. His email address is jeffinjoy.vennookkaran_at_icicibank.com. To get correct email address, replace _at_ with @. I have made 11 paras covering all the points in my complaint. Somebody from ICICI Direct spoke to me today. I told him very clearly that the ICICI BANK only should contact me and respond my complaint in their capacity as SCSB (Self Certified Syndicate Bank) and not ICICI Direct who is just doing back end process. Interested forum members may also send their complaint to the said Level-2 officer in ICICI BANK.
Applied 7 lots in NII after reading all number of lot posts in NII... 5 lot , 6 lot , 8 lot & 9 lot.
After ensuring confirmed allotment , UPI mandate not approved and thus improving the chance of allotment to RII friends. Hope linkintime will not disappoint. All the best for allotment.
Only will apply KN Agri and holding signum quantum. I am definitely avoiding cool caps and swaraj suiting . Sp refractories I think should be available around issue price on listing day . Evoq I need to go through documents.
@Sushil P : Subject 2 is the Grey Market Term which means broker who is quoting this price is ready to buy your application on which you have got confirm IPO allotment and will pay you Rs 4000/-
In simple terms, any profit / loss on listing will be the risk of that broker, you will surely get 4000 rupees.
