IPO Allotment Status

Checking your IPO allotment status is important because it shows you if your IPO application was successful and how many shares you received.... After you apply for an IPO, it usually takes 2-3 days for the allotment status to be updated once the IPO closes. Your IPO status check can happen through stock exchange websites like BSE and NSE, registrar websites or your demat account.(+)

IPO allotment is a process where companies decide how many shares each investor gets after an IPO closes. When you apply for an IPO, you're not guaranteed to get shares. The company looks at all applications and divides the available shares among investors based on certain rules.

When an IPO gets more applications than available shares, the company uses a system to allocate shares fairly. The IPO allotment status shows whether your application was accepted and tells you exactly how many shares you received. 

This information helps you plan your next steps, like preparing for the stock's listing day or making future investment decisions. When an IPO is heavily oversubscribed, companies often use a lottery system or give shares proportionally to ensure everyone gets a fair chance.

IPO registrars handle the IPO allotment calculation process and publish the results on their websites within 3 working days after the IPO closes.

The IPO allotment calculation follows a systematic approach that prioritises fairness and follows SEBI regulations. When an IPO receives more applications than available shares, the registrar first ensures every eligible applicant gets at least one lot before distributing additional shares.

The calculation process starts by dividing all applications into different categories, such as retail investors, high-net-worth individuals and institutional investors. Each category has a reserved quota of shares, which means retail investors compete only with other retail investors, not with big institutions.

For retail investors, the IPO allotment rules state that if oversubscription is mild, everyone gets a minimum allocation first, then the remaining shares are distributed proportionally. However, when oversubscription is heavy, the registrar conducts a computerised draw where luck determines who receives shares.

The IPO allotment process also considers the bid price that investors submitted. Those who bid at higher prices get priority over those who bid at lower prices. If you bid below the final issue price, you won't receive any shares, regardless of the lottery outcome.

Institutional investors follow different IPO allotment rules where shares are distributed proportionally based on their bid size and price. Institutional investors don't use lottery systems like regular investors do. Instead, they get shares based on how much they bid and how the company values long-term investors.

The entire IPO allotment calculation is documented in a report called "Basis of Allotment" that the registrar publishes after completing the process. This document shows exactly how many people applied, how oversubscribed each category was and what percentage of applicants received shares.

When you invest in an IPO, you don't buy individual shares. Instead, you buy them in bundles called "lots." This system makes the IPO allotment process more organised and easier to manage for both companies and investors.

Overview - Basic IPO Terms You Should Know

Before understanding the IPO allotment process, you need to understand these important terms that determine how shares get distributed.

  • Minimum Application: This is the smallest amount of money you can invest in any IPO, usually around ₹15,000. You cannot invest less than this amount, but you can invest more by buying multiple lots. 
  • Minimum Subscription: This rule protects both companies and investors by setting a minimum number of shares that must be sold for the IPO to succeed. Companies usually set this at 90% of all shares they want to sell. 
  • Oversubscription: This happens when more people want to buy shares than the company has available. For instance, if an IPO allotment company offers 1,000 lots but receives applications for 2,000 lots, the IPO is oversubscribed by two times.

Example Explanations

Total Number of Bids for Lots < Total Number of Lots Offered

Imagine Company ABC offers 10,000 lots in their IPO, but only 8,000 people apply for these lots. Since there are enough shares for everyone, each person gets exactly what they asked for.  If you applied for 5 lots, you received all 5 lots. This situation rarely happens with popular companies, but it does occur with smaller or less-known businesses.

Total Number of Bids for Lots > Total Number of Lots Offered

Now imagine the same Company ABC offers 10,000 lots, but 15,000 people apply. This creates an oversubscription situation where the IPO allotment rules become very important. SEBI requires that every eligible person get at least one lot first. 
After giving one lot to as many people as possible, the remaining lots get distributed proportionally among those who applied for more. If there still aren't enough lots for everyone to get even one, then a computerised lottery system decides who gets shares and who doesn't.

Demand Matches Supply

When investor applications exactly match or fall below the available shares, the allotment process becomes straightforward. For instance, if a company offers 1,000 shares and receives applications for exactly 1,000 shares from eligible investors, each applicant gets their complete bid amount. However, the IPO must achieve at least 90% IPO minimum subscription to proceed successfully.

When Demand Exceeds Supply

Oversubscription triggers a lottery-based allotment system managed by the registrar. Consider an IPO offering 5,000 retail shares with a lot size of 100 shares, allowing a maximum of 50 retail allottees. If 200 investors apply, only 50 will receive shares through a computerised lottery. 

The process involves six essential steps that guide you from account creation to IPO allotment success.

  • Register with your broker using email and phone, then log in to access the platform.
  • Navigate to the IPO tab and select your desired offering from the current listings.
  • Specify lot size and bid price. Choose a cut-off price for better allotment chances.
  • Enter your UPI details and submit the application form.
  • Confirm the transaction through your UPI app notification.
  • Your blocked funds remain until allotment results are announced.
  • Apply for IPOs with 5paisa! Apply for IPOs effortlessly with competitive pricing and instant UPI integration.

Getting IPO shares requires understanding the allotment process and checking your status regularly. Remember that most popular IPOs face oversubscription, making allotment depend on luck rather than skill. Companies need an IPO minimum subscription of 90% to proceed successfully. 

Always verify your application details, approve payments promptly and check allotment status through official registrar websites. With proper preparation and realistic expectations, IPO investing becomes simpler.

FAQs

The way the initial public offering (IPO) gets a response from investors will determine how shares are allocated. Investors may receive all of the lots for which they applied if the IPO is under-subscribed. If the IPO is oversubscribed, it means that shares are allocated to retail investors through a computerized procedure.

The greatest strategy to maximize your chances of receiving an IPO allotment is to apply using various Demat accounts, preferably in the names of family members, which diversifies your application. Finally, make sure you submit your application on time and avoid last-minute rushes, which might lead to mistakes and rejection of applications.

The return of the funds is free of charge. An investor's account is restricted when they apply online for an IPO. That sum is not redeemed by the investor. Until the allotment for an IPO is approved, this amount will remain frozen. If the person applies offline with a cheque, the return process begins when the basis of allotment is finalized.

The IPO allotment procedure will take a maximum of one week, according to the most recent SEBI guidelines for large-cap IPOs. Within seven days of the IPO closing, the registrars are required by SEBI regulations to distribute the IPO allotment.

No, shares are not allocated for the IPO based on a first-come, first-served basis. You might obtain as many lots as you applied for if the IPO is under subscribed. The distribution of shares to retail investors if there is an oversupply due to strong investor demand is determined by dividing the total number of shares in the retail quota by the minimum lot size. 

IPO Allotment status is available on the registrar's website. By entering their PAN or the IPO allocation number, an investor can verify the status of their allotment.

After the IPO shares have been alloted, check your Demat account to confirm the allotment. Then, decide on your investing strategy—whether to keep the shares for possible long-term profits or to sell them on the listing day for an instant profit. Monitor market circumstances leading up to the listing date to make an informed choice, and keep track of the company's success to assess future moves.

Yes, in order to be eligible for IPO allotment, investors must apply for at least one "lot," which is the smallest number of shares that may be requested for during an IPO. The lot size is decided by the firm and is disclosed in the IPO prospectus. If the IPO is oversubscribed, allotments are made based on the number of lots applied for, and a lottery mechanism may be employed for small investors to guarantee equal distribution.
