Sir, i do not understand the method of discount in ofs........
As per my view, 1498/- was the floor price and 5% discount was given to retail investors means - it should be near about 1423/-. If this calculalation is not true , then companies should clear before launching OFS......

Retail Cut-off = Rs 1558.00
Net cost to retail investors Rs 1480.10 (5% discount from 1558.00)

Non Reail Cut-off = Rs 1499

I don't understand why the cut-off is different for each category?

I applied it on cut-off price and feel bad about it now. I should have applied on lower price and better didn't get the allotment.

Hi Vikram,

Yes your logic is correct and you should be happy to not get the allotment. In the past also this was the case like in MOIL(cutoff more in Retails than in Others). But if you want to buy MOIL on monday you will get it for less than the retail''s price (358).

Conclusion: Do not apply for any PSU OFS at 52 weeks high.

Seems the logic is bad. The system should make one pass to determine the price and then another to allot in FCFS if the price is exceeded by the customer''s bid. Over-subscription cannot rule out FCFS.

If you have trading and demat account with SBI, then yes you could apply though SBI. Its similar to how you apply in an IPO though SBI.

Please comment,

1. BEL Shorted MAR@ 1528 (1 lot=450 qty) futures.
2. Apply in 3 accounts to get 450 qty @ 5% discount.

Now once OFS qty credited in my account , Square off all OFS and Futures.

At what price you bid as retail investor.

1. Sanjeev

Must apply if you have cash ready in your account to make quick bucks.

Will there be the limit of Rs 2 lakhs for retail investors?

Yes Harish,

You can place as many bids as you at at what ever price you are comfortable with. If you are applying in retail quote to get 5% benifit, maximum amount should not exceed Rs 2 lakhs in total.

As a retail investor its recommended to apply at cutoff price only.

You can apply in this OFS through most online broker who offer online IPO''s

Hope this help.
