The advantages and disadvantages of applying in NII quota-

Pros

Cons

NIIs can apply for more than Rs 2 lakhs in an IPO.

NIIs are not eligible for the price discount available for retail investors.

NIIs need not have to register with SEBI.

The reserved allocation is less (15%) when compared to RII (35%). This decreases the chances of allotment in case of oversubscription.

NII's cannot withdraw the bid only increase the bid quantity.

The reserved allocation for NIIs is 15%, the lowest in the 3 investor categories in an IPO. QIB has 50% and RIIs have 35%. So, in an oversubscribed IPO, the chances of allotment are less. Also, Trusts, Corporate bodies and many other institutions fall in the NII category. This makes it a very competitive pool for allotment.
