Tips for making money in IPOs:

1. For retail Investors, in case of over subscription, allotment is done on a lottery basis. So, it is advisable to apply from multiple family accounts instead of more lots from single account.

2. In order to increase allotment chance, instead of select a lower price, it is advisable to place the IPO bid price at cut off, which signifies that you are ready to buy the stock at final decided price.

3. Grey market premium (GMP) is the premium for which people are ready to pay for buying the shares before even stock is listed on the exchange. High GMP signifies higher demand in the market and hence can give more listing gains.

All the required details are available in the Red herring prospectus. You are advised to read the risk factors thoroughly before applying.
