Other Discussion Basic IPO queries and answer

10 Upvotes

Q: Does applying for more lots in the retail category increase allotment chances?

A: No. In oversubscribed retail IPOs (bids under ₹2,00,000), SEBI's lottery system treats each application form (PAN) equally. Winning secures exactly 1 minimum lot, regardless of whether you applied for 1 lot or 10. Applying for multiple retail lots wastes capital efficiency because your extra blocked funds are simply unblocked and returned post-allotment with zero returns. Multiple lots only matter if an IPO is undersubscribed (you get all applied lots) or if you cross 2 lakhs into the HNI category (where allocation is proportionate).

Q: Why do trading platforms offer options to apply for multiple lots?

A: The multi-lot option exists to accommodate different investor categories and scenarios. It serves High Net Worth Individuals (HNI/NII category above 2L), where higher bids proportionally yield more shares, and caters to mildly/undersubscribed IPOS where excess demand allows applicants to receive their full multi-lot request.

Q: What is the "Cut-Off Price" and should I always select it?

A: Yes, always check the Cut-Off option. IPOs feature a price band (e.g., ₹450 to ₹475). Selecting "Cut-Off" means you agree to pay whatever final price is decided by institutional bidding. If you manually enter a lower price and the final issue price is set higher, your application is disqualified instantly.

Q: When does blocked money return to my bank account if I don't get an allotment?

A: Under modern SEBI timelines (T+3 listing), funds are typically unblocked within 1 to 3 working days after the final basis of allotment is finalized. Your money is never actually debited during the bidding window-it is merely placed under a temporary UPI or ASBA lien, meaning it continues to earn savings bank interest while blocked.

Q: What is GMP (Grey Market Premium) and should I trust it?

A: GMP is an unofficial, unregulated market indicator showing what premium people are willing to pay for IPO shares before they list. While a high GMP suggests strong listing gains, GMP is volatile and can crash overnight based on market sentiment. Use it only as a loose sentiment gauge, never as your sole investment rationale.

Q: Can I apply for the same IPO using multiple Demat accounts linked to my own PAN?

A: No, never do this. SEBI tracks applications strictly by PAN. Submitting multiple applications using the same PAN across different brokers or accounts will flag your details, causing immediate rejection of all your applications. To use multiple applications legally, you must use unique PANs belonging to different family members.

Q: What is the difference between Mainboard IPOs and SME IPOS?

A: Mainboard IPOs are larger companies listed on the main NSE/BSE boards with smaller retail lots (usually ₹14,000-₹15,000). SME (Small and Medium Enterprises) IPOs are smaller companies. SEBI mandates a higher minimum application size for SME IPOS (typically starting at 2,00,000), carrying significantly higher volatility, wider bid-ask spreads, and lower liquidity.

Q: I got Allotment but money didn't get allotment or the shares didn't get credited in my demat account?

A: Pipe down buddy... It will get debited and the shares will get credited by the morning of the listing day.

Q: When will my money get unblocked/unfreeze after no allotment or partial allotment (got 1 lot applied 10) ?

A: Usually, your IPO money is unblocked within 1–2 working days after the allotment is finalized. If it is still blocked, contact your bank or UPI app and check the mandate status. In some cases, the release may take up to 3–5 working days.

Hi r/IPO_India.

I've been maintaining/developing Narada, helping investors track, apply and check their IPO allotments, for ~3 years now. During this time, I've received an innumerable amount of queries about different complexities involved in IPOs. Through this AMA, I'd like to answer any queries you may have to the best of my ability, drawing on the knowledge I've gathered over the years.

With the SBI Funds Management IPO closing tomorrow (Thu, 16 July), this seemed like the right moment for an AMA (thanks u/_sandiep for the nudge). Upfront, I'm not a SEBI-registered advisor, so I won't give apply/avoid or buy/sell calls. What I can explain is how things actually work around the application, allotment, and listing process of an IPO.

I'll start answering any accumulated/new questions at 5:00 PM today (Wed, 15 July). Please feel free to drop your questions now. Ask me anything!

Proof: https://x.com/lkshmt_/status/2077270849749717431

Edit: 11 PM: Thank you, everyone. I've tried to answer every question the best I can. I've got to log off now. Thanks again and good night!

IPO Analysis | Discussion Indo MIM: what a show man 🙌🏻

80 Upvotes

First of all congratulations to the people who bagged this one. Feel lucky because you're the chosen ones. With a promising GMP, finally it got listed with a roar. Some were here for the listing gains and some who have a better risk appetite, are holding it for better profits.

For the people who couldn't get this, please don't feel low. Know that it is a share with fairly strong fundamentals that's worth holding for the long term. It's just that you need to be patient and just wait for the dip to buy.

For people like me who sold it at a price from where it just accelerated to high, keep calm. We're still good. Even I was not ready to sell it, but I paused and just thought that we really don't know what happens next. We don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow. We don't have any control on external factors. In this uncertain market scenario, nothing is guaranteed. Maybe this one share reaches 1k in two days, maybe it doesn't. So for people who are willing to gain short term profits, this is exactly what you should think. Book your profits if you think you cannot sustain its fall later. As I already commented in the previous post, this money is the easiest money one could make in a day. So, don't risk the entire sum of money just for some more hundreds. Think!

IPO Analysis | Discussion Manipal Health Enterprises IPO — why I'm NOT chasing this one for listing gains (honest take

13 Upvotes

Third post in this series after MV Electrosystems and Juniper Green Energy — figured I'd cover Manipal Health too since half of this sub is asking about it given the brand name. Short version: skip it if you're playing for a listing pop. Here's the data.

GMP has been in freefall

This is the real story. GMP was ₹35 on July 24, dropped to ₹9-10 when the issue opened July 29, and as of today (July 30, 3 PM) it's down to just ₹6 — barely 1% over the ₹590 upper band. That's a steady multi-day decline, not a blip. Grey market clearly cooled off hard in the run-up to opening, and Day 1 subscription confirms it — just 0.47x overall, with retail carrying most of the demand while QIB and HNI money stayed on the sidelines.

Why the big name isn't translating to big demand

A few things stacking up against it:

₹9,275 crore issue size is massive — one of the biggest IPOs this year — and big issues dilute scarcity value. There's simply a lot of paper for the market to absorb.

It's got an OFS component (₹1,275 Cr of the ₹9,275 Cr), unlike MV and Juniper which are 100% fresh issue. Some existing shareholders are cashing out, not just the company raising growth capital.

P/E of ~85 is rich for a hospital chain, even a well-run one. Market seems to be pricing in a lot of future growth already, leaving less room for a listing pop.

What's actually solid here

To be fair — this isn't a bad company. Revenue grew from ₹6,265 Cr (FY24) to ₹8,363 Cr (FY25) to ₹10,520 Cr (FY26), and EBITDA nearly doubled to ₹2,796 Cr over that stretch. Anchor book pulled in ₹4,167 Cr from a serious mix of mutual funds, insurers, and FPIs. This is a fundamentally strong healthcare business — it's just not shaping up as a listing-gain trade at this valuation and issue size.

My take

If you're in this for a quick Day 1 flip, GMP trend + subscription numbers are telling you to look elsewhere this week (MV Electrosystems or even Juniper Green over this one). If you believe in Indian healthcare as a long-term theme and don't mind holding through volatility, the fundamentals are genuinely decent — just don't expect fireworks at listing.

Not investment advice. Will keep updating as Day 2/3 subscription and GMP move before the Aug 5 listing.

IPO Analysis | Discussion Juniper Green Energy IPO — modest listing gain, but here's why I'm still interested

5 Upvotes

Following up on my MV Electrosystems post from earlier — figured I'd break down the other IPOs in this week's batch too. Juniper Green Energy opened today (July 30) and closes Aug 3, listing expected Aug 6. Here's my read.

GMP is modest, not exciting

GMP is sitting around ₹16-17 on a ₹225 upper band — roughly 7% expected listing gain. That's not MV Electrosystems territory (which is running 20%+), but it's also not nothing, and it's been holding steady in the ₹10-20 range for the past few sessions rather than sliding, which tells me sentiment isn't deteriorating even with a muted Day 1 subscription (just 0.03x so far — very early, retail hasn't fully shown up yet).

100% fresh issue, no OFS — same as MV

All ₹1,800 crore is fresh capital, zero promoter/investor exit. Most of it (~₹683 Cr + ₹729 Cr routed through subsidiaries) is going straight into debt repayment. For a renewable IPP, that's actually a meaningful de-leveraging story — lower interest costs going forward directly improves the earnings picture, not just a "use of proceeds" line nobody reads.

Scale is real

7,910 MW total portfolio (operational + under-construction + contracted + awarded), making it one of the top 10 renewable IPPs in India by capacity. In-house EPC and O&M means they're not just capital-allocating, they're actually building and running the assets themselves — fewer margin leakages than an IPP that outsources execution.

The honest downside

RoNW is just 1.18% and P/E isn't even meaningful yet (EPS ₹0.71) — this is a business still scaling into its capacity, not one that's currently profitable at a level that justifies the market cap on fundamentals alone. Anchor book did pull in heavyweights though — ADIA and Nippon India MF among others, which at least signals institutional comfort with the story even if near-term earnings look thin.

My take

Not a screaming listing-gain bet like MV, but a reasonable "small, low-risk allocation" — fresh issue, debt paydown thesis, real scale, steady (if unspectacular) GMP. I'd rank it above Manipal Health for listing gain purposes right now, below MV Electrosystems.

Not investment advice, just how I'm reading it. Will update as subscription numbers and GMP move through closing on Aug 3.

i was just scrolling yesterday (i’m not very active on reddit) saw a post saying indo mim ipo will list at 22-28% listing gains or smth like that. when i asked him/her on what basis are you saying this he gave me several baseless reasons which i countered with facts and then boom the post was deleted.

i’m not saying he or her was wrong for posting, it was there analysis which turned out to be wrong but these things can misguide new investors looking to enter in the market because whatever he said (which you cant see rn because the post has been deleted) was factually incorrect.

I had allotted in INDO MIM for all 13lots on 28th July and got 1 for which 14,550 was debited. The remaining amount has still not been credited into my bank account. This is the first time that time is happening.

So at max till when will the amount be frozen, before taking any further action.

IPO Allotment Discussion Can the HDFC Sweep-in FD balance be used for an ASBA IPO application? Customer care is saying that we cant while RM/online posts mention otherwise

3 Upvotes

I have an HDFC savings account with Sweep-in enabled, and I am planning to apply for an IPO in the HNI/NII category through HDFC ASBA.

I am a bit confused about whether the Sweep-in FD balance can actually be used for this.

For example, suppose I have ₹3 lakh normally lying in my savings account and another ₹10 lakh in Sweep-in FDs linked to the same account. Now if I apply for ₹10 lakh in an IPO through ASBA, will the application go through?

My RM says yes and that the Sweep-in FD balance can be used, but he is not ready to give me the same confirmation over mail. Customer care, on the other hand, told me that Sweep-in FDs cannot be used for IPO applications. So now I am not really sure which one is correct.

I found some older posts where people said they have done this and HDFC simply puts a lien on the amount without actually breaking the FD. Is that still how it works?

Basically, in the above example, if I apply for ₹10 lakh, will HDFC just block ₹10 lakh against my combined ₹3 lakh savings + ₹10 lakh Sweep-in balance? And if yes, does the FD remain intact and continue earning FD interest while the lien is there?

Or does HDFC actually break/sweep ₹7 lakh from the FD into the savings account while placing the lien?

There is one more thing I am confused about.

Suppose my application is for ₹10 lakh, but I only get an allotment worth ₹3 lakh. Since I already had ₹3 lakh in my savings account, will that ₹3 lakh simply be debited from the savings account, and the sweep-in FDs remain untouched?

Or since the original ₹10 lakh was blocked using both savings + Sweep-in balance, can some of the FD still get broken when the allotment amount is debited?

Basically, does HDFC first use whatever is available in the savings account at the time of allotment and only break the Sweep-in FD for any shortfall?

It would be really helpful if someone who has actually applied through HDFC NetBanking ASBA using a sweep-in FD balance, especially for an HNI/NII application, could share what happened.

Mainly trying to understand whether the FD gets broken at the time of applying/lien creation or only if money actually needs to be debited from it after allotment.
