Which of the following is NOT a way to pay application money through ASBA?

The correct answer is option 2- Immediate credit from bank account.

Initial Public Offers and Rights Issues etc. of securities (Shares, Debentures or Other Financial Instruments) may be subscribed by paying Application Money by a banking instrument (Cheque, Pay order / Draft, Debit to Bank Account or through Applications Supported Blocked Amount (ASBA). ASBA is one of the methods for payment of Application Money. ASBA is a process developed by Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI)to apply for subscribing to IPOs and Rights Issue etc. of securities. Under the method, the applicant authorises the bank to block the bank account for the application money, for subscribing the issue. The Bank debits the applicant’s account with application money only if he / she is allotted securities (Shares / Debentures etc.) for the amount payable on allotted securities. In case, securities are not allotted, the bank removes the block (lien) on the amount.
