Dec 2, 2008 - Sensex closes 101 pts down

Equities witnessed a volatile session Tuesday. After wallowing in the red for major part of the session, the indices pulled back sharply to end off lows.

Market opened with a gap-down tracking other Asian peers after the US economy was officially said to be in recession. The worst hit were the interest rate-sensitive sectors, as traders eyed some financial stimulus from the government like easing in ECB norms and lowering of interest rates.

Automobile stocks were down as economic slowdown hit sales badly while shares of oil exploration companies fell as crude oil price eased to $47.85 per barrel, the lowest since May 2005 and almost $100 off the record peak of $147.27 reached in July.

ASBA - Investment friendly way of investing in IPO's

Bombay Stock Exchange Ltd. (BSE) has developed an interface for the banks to participate in the ASBA (Application Supported by Blocked Amounts) process. This new initiative is in the area of IPO payments as proposed by the capital markets regulator, Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

The objective of introducing ASBA is to ensure that the investor's funds leave his bank account only upon allocation of shares in public issues. The ASBA process also ensures that only the requisite amount of funds are debited to the investor's bank account on allotment of shares. In this mechanism, the need for refunds is completely obviated.

Using this interface the banks, participating in the IPO process would be able to upload the bids with respect to their customers, into the electronic book of BSE. The interface facilitates not only the controlling branch but also the designated branches of the banks to directly upload the bids into the electronic book at BSE. The ASBA application has been successfully tested with eleven banks.

The list of SCSBs are as below. For details of designated branches click on respective banks below:

Axis Bank
Bank of Baroda
Corporation Bank
HDFC Bank
ICICI Bank Ltd
IDBI Bank Limited
Kotak Mahindra Bank
State Bank of Bikaner & Jaipur
