How to Apply for SBI Rights Issue Using SBI NetBanking
To apply for an SBI rights issue using SBI NetBanking, you first need to ensure that you have the proper access level. Here are the steps to follow:
Steps to Upgrade Access Level for Full Transaction Rights
If you are already using the internet banking facility of SBI, then there is an option called 'Upgrade Access Level' in the e-services section. Please do that and select 'Full Transaction Rights.' Once you do this, you will be able to perform the necessary transactions.
When you log into online SBI, you will see an option for 'Request and Enquiries.' Click on it and then select 'Upgrade Access Level.' From the drop-down menu, choose your account and select 'Full Transaction Rights.' You will receive an One-Time Password (OTP) on your Registered Mobile Number (RMN), enter it, and your rights will be upgraded.
Should this process not work, it is advisable to contact your home branch for further assistance.
Understanding Rights Issue
Securities, including shares, bonds, and debentures, are issued by companies in electronic form. To receive these securities, you need a Demat Account. Secondly, if you want to buy or sell securities, you need a Trading Account.
A rights issue means that a company issues additional shares to existing shareholders at a preferential price. If you have shares of SBI as per the record date and you wish to apply for the SBI rights issue, you must have a trading and Demat account with a broker such as India Bulls, SBI Caps, etc.
You can apply for the rights issue through your broker where you have the trading and Demat account. However, SBI NetBanking is specifically for banking purposes and not for trading purposes. Therefore, you should log into your account with your broker to apply for the rights issue.
Complaining and Reporting Issues
Understanding the online complaint process can be challenging, and it’s important to raise your concerns through multiple channels. When you make a complaint, the category and subcategories provided may not always take you to the correct section. It is better to raise your issue via all mediums and the people who assist you.
If you are hesitant about investing in equity, you may need to log into the concerned company or their underwriter’s website, such as Karvy, and register to make a request for payment options, which should include SBI NetBanking.
Investing can be daunting, but by following these steps and seeking assistance from your broker or other financial institutions, you can effectively manage your finances and investments.
