Question:

In the scenario where securities are not allotted, what does the bank do with the blocked amount?

Options:

The bank keeps the blocked amount as fees

The bank refunds the entire blocked amount to the investor

The bank invests the blocked amount in the stock market

The bank donates the blocked amount to a charity

Correct Answer:

The bank refunds the entire blocked amount to the investor

Explanation:

when securities are not allotted to the investor, the bank removes the lien on the blocked amount and promptly refunds the entire blocked amount back to the investor's account. This ensures that the investor's funds are not unnecessarily tied up and are available for use once again.
