Out of the total subscription money of Rs.78.65 crores received in the retail category, allotment was made to the extent of Rs.8.75 crores, while the refundable money amounted to Rs.69.90 crores (i.e., approx. 89% of the total subscription money received). The amount refundable to ASBA investors was Rs.5.05 crores, which, in accordance with the ASBA process, did not move out of the bank accounts of ASBA investors at any point of time. At the time of receipt of application, the bank accounts of Non-ASBA investors were debited to the extent of 100% of the application money. However, in case of ASBA investors, there was no such debit to the bank accounts, as the bank accounts were only blocked to the extent of 100% of the application money.
