IPO Allotment Status

Check and track the allotment status of recently closed IPOs in just a few steps.

What is IPO Allotment?

Initial Public Offerings or IPOs offer an exciting opportunity for investors to participate in the growth stories of promising companies in India. The journey from application to potential allotment of shares involves several key steps. Here's all you need to know about each stage of your IPO journey. IPO allotment means shares of a company are distributed among the applicants through an Initial Public Offering to the public.

When any company executes an initial public offering, it issues a specific number of shares at a particular price range to the applicants. The investors put in their applications for those shares, and if the IPO has more applicants than shares available, the company and its registrars follow a set manner to distribute the shares equitably among different investors.

What are the Factors Affecting IPO Allotment?

Several factors can affect an investor's possibility of getting an IPO allotment. Identifying these can enable investors to better strategise their investment plan.
  1. Subscription Levels

    This is the biggest factor that influences IPO allotment. A highly oversubscribed IPO drastically reduces the chances of an allotment for every applicant. There are quotas for different categories of investors, such as Retail Individual Investors (RIIs), Non-Institutional Investors (NIIs), and Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs), among others, and an oversubscription in one category affects IPO allotment within that category.

  2. Application Size

    Applications for Retail Individual Investors are often made in "lots." Although it might make sense to apply for more lots, RII categories often operate on a lottery system where one lot is granted to as many individual applicants as possible, instead of multiple lots to fewer applicants.

  3. Investor Category

    An IPO would reserve a specific percentage of its shares for different categories of investors. For example, the reservation for RIIs is 35%. The category that an investor makes an application in for IPO allotment determines the pool of shares they have to compete for.

  4. Issue Size

    The larger the IPO issue size, the more shares it has available for distribution, thereby increasing individual investors' chances of allotment, assuming similar demand levels.

  5. Basis of Allotment (BoA)

    The registrar, along with the stock exchanges, determines the basis of allotment, which may be in proportion, by way of a lottery system, or a combination, especially in oversubscribed categories.


How to Increase Chances of IPO Allotment?

While allotment in a heavily oversubscribed IPO is often termed as a matter of luck, there are certain strategies that investors can try to potentially increase their probability of IPO allotment. Some of those strategies are mentioned below:
  1. Apply in the Retail Category

    RIIs have a reserved quota of 35% of the total IPO issue size. To qualify as a retail investor, the maximum investment limit is ₹2 lakhs per IPO per PAN.

  2. Use Multiple Demat Accounts

    Each unique PAN is considered a different application. In case more than one member of a family, spouse, parents, or adult children has a Demat account and all apply for one lot each, the statistical probability of the family getting an allotment increases.

  3. Stay Informed

    Keep a track of IPO subscription status. It will not change the application's course, but it can give investors an idea of the allotment probability.


The Complete IPO Process

To make the IPO application journey a smooth ride, the investor can follow the step-by-step process below:

Step 1: Issue Open Date

The first day when investors can apply for an IPO.

Step 2: Issue Close Date (T)

Last day to apply for the IPO.

Step 3: Basis of Allotment Declaration

The allotment has to be finalised by 6 PM on T+1, one working day following issue closure. Third-party verification of applications by registrars ensures that the PAN in the Demat account and the linked bank account match for accuracy.

Step 4: Processing of Refunds

If your application is unsuccessful, you will get a refund, and your ASBA funds will be unblocked within two working days after the closing date.

Step 5: Share Credit Date

By T+2, the allotment of shares to successful applicants directly goes into their Demat account, ensuring quick access to their investments compared to the earlier regime.

Step 6: Listing Date

On T+3, three working days after the issue closing, the shares of the company start trading publicly on stock exchanges. Faster listing means faster access to capital for the issuer and earlier liquidity to investors.


How to Check IPO Allotment Status?

Checking the allotment status of an IPO is a simple process. For this, an investor will require either of the following:
  • PAN: Permanent Account Number, which is the unique tax identification number.
  • Application Number: This is provided when an investor applies for the IPO.
  • Demat Account Number(DP ID/Client ID): Details about the Demat account.

Investors can check the allotment status on the website of the IPO registrar, a SEBI-registered entity tasked with the responsibility of managing the entire IPO process. The allotment status can also be checked on NSE and BSE platforms.


Popular IPO Registrar Websites

To check the status of the IPO allotment, investors can visit the website of the registrar for the IPO. Some of the popular IPO registrars in India include:

Always ensure you are visiting the official registrar's website. You can find the name of the registrar responsible for an impending IPO in its Red Herring Prospectus (RHP) or on the exchange websites.


Important Tips for Investors

Some key tips for investors applying for allotment in an IPO are mentioned below:
  1. Understand the Company

    Do your due diligence on the company, its business model, financials, management team, and industry to which it belongs before applying for the IPO. Never apply based on hype.

  2. Read the Red Herring Prospectus (RHP)

    This prospectus contains information about the IPO, risk factors, financials, and basis of allotment, among other details.

  3. Apply Through a Reputable Platform

    Apply seamlessly for an IPO through a broking platform that is trusted and reliable.

  4. Keep Funds Ready

    Ensure that there is enough balance in your bank account linked to your Demat for the ASBA process.

  5. Follow up on your application

    After applying, track the IPO timeline, particularly the dates related to allotment and listing.
