  1. I can see it under my SBI Savings a/c. You can try applying using your SB a/c. After you logged in to your SBI savings a/c > e-services > Demat & ASBA Services. Then follow on screen instructions to apply for this IPO.

  2. My broker (SBI) doesn’t allow me to invest in this IPO. Is there a seperate route for applications to SME IPOs?
