How to improve your chances of getting allotment in IPOs?

  • Apply to IPO on Day 1 or 2: Early applications often face fewer technical issues. This will minimize the chances of rejection of application.
  • Avoid Common Mistakes: While applying to IPO ensure that PAN, Demat account number, Bid lot and valid UPI ID is filled correctly.
  • Check the Grey Market Premium: Higher GMP of IPOs means high demand resulting in oversubscription. For such IPOs, apply for 1 lot only. GMP can be checked on multiple websites.
  • Apply for 1 Lot (in Oversubscribed IPOs): In oversubscribed IPOs, all applicants who apply for at least 1 lot have an equal chance in the lottery. Applying for more than 1 lot does not increase your chances of allotment.
  • Use Active UPI ID: Ensure that Active UPI ID is correctly linked to the bank account having sufficient funds and not experiencing delays or failures. Approve the UPI mandate quickly (within the deadline).
  • Apply in Shareholder or Employee reservations (if you qualify): Some IPOs offer preferential reservations to shareholders and/or employees of the company. Eligible applicants should apply in these categories to increase their chances of getting an allotment.
