I have multiple Demat accounts of multiple family members with separate PANs. But recently I have started to keep funds in one account and when applying for IPO I just use UPI Id of that account and mandates for all De-mat account show up at one place.
This has been very convenient as I don’t have to get every family members phone and accept the mandate I can do it at one place. Also, i dont have to move funds from one account to another.
But, I haven’t gotten any allotment since i have started doing this.
It may be my application is being rejected or just my LUCK.
But I want to make sure is this an acceptable way?
The bank account mapped to the UPI ID should be that of the person applying for the IPO. The IPO application will be rejected if a different UPI ID is used. While the applications are validated RTAs look at PAN of the bank account holder vs the PAN of the applicant.
