How to apply IPO in HNI Category in Zerodha?

Zerodha doesn't provide an IPO application for the HNI category. A stockbroker like Zerodha, Angel, Upstox, and Groww doesn't offer banking services. They offer UPI as a payment option for IPO applications. As UPI has a transaction limit of Rs 2L max, you cannot use UPI as a payment option for the HNI IPO application.

If you have a Zerodha Demat Account, you could apply IPO in the HNI category using two ways:

1. Banks' Net Banking facility
2. Submitting the paper form to the bank
