Need help - I applied for Identical Brains Studios Limited IPO for 1.08L (SME). Didn't got allotment so upi mandate should get revoked but it didn't & I got error from HDFC
UPI-Mandate for Rs 108000.00 could not be cancelled due to IR.
What to do now? how to unblock amount?

UPI Mandates are the worst but the easiest way to apply for ipo for a normal person.
UPI Mandates involves multiple parties in between
1) Bank
2) Upi App
3) NPCI UPI Server
4) Registrar
While ASBA has only two parties in play the bank & the registrar.
For your case I would recommend you to contact bank and raise complaint to upi app for faster resolution. Additionally you can try contacting the customer care of the registrar for that ipo.
So for upi if any of the involved parties server is not working properly and an api call is missed they mark it as failed/pending etc.
And as per UPI everything then works as per their time line like 2-3 working days and in some cases like my friend applied through pnb via upi and the money was blocked until the mandate's expiry date. So in upi its best that you get the allotment as there are many chances that the money remains blocked.
And as there are so many IPOs lined up I would always recommend every one to use ASBA as you may miss an opportunity due to lack of available funds.
Also as discussed in this thread itself for all the banks if you have the broking account with them the asba is few clicks and no need to enter the bo id.
But if you have broking account with some discount broker like zerodha you may use Kotak/IDFC/SBI as they save the BO ID & you can apply through ASBA in few clicks.
I personally find Kotak the best due to the following reasons -
- Apply till 3PM (HNI) & 4 PM (Retail) unlike SBI
- Apply in few clicks using Kotak Mobile app as it saves the client id
- ActivMoney option gives you 7% interest for amount above 25k and the fd is broken only after allotment is done so the best for bhni ipo investors. Even when allotment is done you can fund the account with the same amount before eod to save the fd from prematuring.
