Apply for REIT IPOs using UPI

A new REIT IPO is launching - Nexus Select Trust.

There are 3 REITs already listed in India. But until now, one had to use net banking or physical ASBA to apply for these IPOs. In June 2022, SEBI allowed the UPI mechanism for REIT IPO applications. Nexus REIT is the first IPO to be launched after the rules were modified.

You can now apply for the Nexus REIT IPO using UPI just as you would apply for any other IPO.

What is a REIT?

REITs [Real Estate Investment Trusts] are like mutual funds for real estate investment. Investors pool their money, and a REIT invests in commercial properties.
