Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers to help you navigate IPO investments.

What is an IPO?
An Initial Public Offering (IPO) is when a private company offers its shares to the public for the first time, allowing retail and institutional investors to become shareholders.
How can I invest in an IPO?
You can apply for an IPO through your trading account or banking portal linked with your Demat account using UPI or ASBA (Application Supported by Blocked Amount).
Is a Demat account mandatory for applying to an IPO?
Yes, a Demat (Dematerialized) account is absolutely mandatory. It is where your allotted shares will be held electronically. You cannot apply for an IPO with just a regular bank account.
What happens if an IPO is oversubscribed?
If an IPO is oversubscribed, demand exceeds supply. For retail investors, shares are allotted through a computerized lottery system, meaning there is no guarantee that everyone who applies will receive an allotment.
What is a Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP)?
A DRHP is a preliminary registration document filed by a company with SEBI. It contains critical details about the company's operations, financials, and objectives, helping investors make informed decisions.
Can I revise or cancel my IPO application?
Yes, retail investors can revise their bid price or completely cancel their IPO application as long as the IPO bidding window remains officially open. Once the issue closes, bids cannot be withdrawn.
When are my blocked funds released if I don't get an allotment?
If you do not receive an allotment in the lottery, the funds blocked via your ASBA or UPI mandate will automatically be unblocked in your bank account on the official refund initiation date.
What are the risks of investing in an IPO?
IPO investments carry market risks, including extreme price volatility upon listing. A company may also list at a discount to its issue price, leading to an immediate potential loss of capital.
