The goal of such an issue varies from company to company; some may use the proceedings to pay off debt, while others may use them to expand their operations. IPO subscription is the process in which the investor applies for the shares offered in the IPO. The investors specify the quantity and the price in their IPO application to subscribe to the IPO. The corporation offers its stock or shares to the public to raise money, and investors subscribe to these shares. This process is known as an Initial Public Offering (IPO).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-an-ipo-subscription-work\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_an_IPO_Subscription_Work\"><\/span>How Does an IPO Subscription Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The steps which are involved in IPO subscription are as follows-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Announcement <\/strong>\u2013 A prospectus that includes all of the firm&#8217;s information, such as its business model, financials, and the way the funds will be used, must be released when a company chooses to go public and seek money through an initial public offering (IPO).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> <strong>Setting The Price<\/strong> \u2013 The company must set the price of the issue at which they want to offer their shares to the public in a fixed price issue. On the other hand, in a book-building issue, companies specify a price range within which investors can bid for the shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> <strong>Subscription Period of an IPO<\/strong> \u2013 The dates on which the investors can apply for an IPO must be announced. Generally, the IPO opens for 3 to 5 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Categorization of Investors<\/strong> \u2013&nbsp; In an IPO, there are different categories of investors, subject to different rules for participating in an IPO. Different types of investors are mentioned below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Retail Investors<\/strong> \u2013 These small investors can apply up to INR 2 Lakhs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Non-Institutional Investors <\/strong>\u2013 These investors are considered HNI individuals or corporate houses and invest large amounts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Qualified Institutional Buyers<\/strong> \u2013 This category includes banks, mutual fund houses, insurance companies, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Anchor Investors<\/strong> \u2013 These include large institutions that apply for shares before the issue opens for subscription for the general public.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Bidding <\/strong>\u2013 During this phase, the investors apply for the shares. They can specify the quantity and the price at which they wish to apply for IPO shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6.<\/strong> <strong>Status of Subscription<\/strong> \u2013 Real-time tracking of IPO subscriptions is possible. If the IPO is popular and the investor\u2019s demand for shares exceeds the number of shares offered, the offering is deemed oversubscribed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7.<\/strong> <strong>Allotment of Shares<\/strong> \u2013 The shares offered in an IPO are allotted to the investors in the following way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Allotment to QIB:<\/strong> Shares are allocated to QIBs at the discretion of merchant bankers. But if the IPO is oversubscribed, shares are allotted proportionately.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Allotment to Retail Investors:<\/strong> If the IPO is undersubscribed or fully subscribed, retail investors receive the number of shares they applied for. On the other hand, if the IPO is oversubscribed, the investors will be allotted shares based on a lottery system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Allotment to HNIs:<\/strong> In case of an oversubscription, shares are allotted to HNIs proportionately.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8. Credit of Shares<\/strong> \u2013 The allotted shares will be credited to the investor\u2019s demat account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9.<\/strong> <strong>Listing <\/strong>\u2013 Finally, the shares get listed on the <a href=\"https:\/\/wp-api.pocketful.in\/blog\/list-of-stock-exchanges-in-india\/\">stock exchange<\/a> and become available for trading for investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-ipo-process\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_IPO_Process\"><\/span>What is the IPO Process?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The significant steps of the IPO process are as follows-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Deciding the Issue Size<\/strong> \u2013 The first step would be deciding on the issue size or the amount of capital the company wants to raise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Appointment of Underwriter<\/strong> \u2013 The company must appoint an underwriter or investment bank to handle all the regulatory procedures, which includes setting the price range and other due diligence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Preparing DRHP<\/strong> \u2013 The next step would be preparing a <a href=\"https:\/\/wp-api.pocketful.in\/blog\/ipo\/what-is-draft-red-herring-prospectus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP)<\/a>, which contains all the company&#8217;s business details and financials.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Submission of DRHP<\/strong>\u2013 The DRHP is filed with the Securities and Exchange Board of India to get regulatory approval.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Investor Presentation<\/strong> \u2013 The company identifies potential investors to present their future plans for the company and tries to convince investors to invest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pricing of the Issue<\/strong> \u2013 The issue price is set in a fixed price IPO, and in a book-building IPO, a price range is determined, and the issue price is set based on market demand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Subscription Period<\/strong> \u2013 Typically, an IPO opens for subscription for a period of 3 to 5 days, during which an investor can apply for the IPO.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Allotment <\/strong>\u2013 Once the subscription period is over, the shares are allotted to the successful bidders and are credited to their demat account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Listing <\/strong>\u2013 The shares are listed on the exchange and become available for trading for the investors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-check-ipo-subscription-status\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Check_IPO_Subscription_Status\"><\/span>How to Check IPO Subscription Status?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The steps to check the IPO subscription status are as follows-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Through Exchange<\/strong> \u2013 One can visit the websites of Indian stock exchanges, i.e. the <a href=\"https:\/\/wp-api.pocketful.in\/blog\/a-comparative-study-on-nse-v-s-bse-differences-similarities-and-popularity\/\">National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).<\/a> Select the Initial Public Offering (IPO) and review the subscription data for different investor categories.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Registrar <\/strong>\u2013 Another choice is to go to the registrar&#8217;s website, which manages the IPO allocation procedure and offers real-time subscription information. An investor can check the allocation status on the website as soon as the shares are allocated.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-check-ipo-allotment-status\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Check_IPO_Allotment_Status\"><\/span>How to Check IPO Allotment Status?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The process to check the IPO allotment status on the registrar\u2019s website by following the steps mentioned below \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Registrar Website<\/strong> \u2013 Investors can visit the website of the relevant registrar and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketful.in\/ipo\/current-ipos\">click on the IPO allotment status tab<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Select IPO<\/strong> \u2013 An investor must select the IPO from the drop-down menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Enter the Details<\/strong> \u2013 Enter the details such as PAN number, application number, or Demat account number.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Status <\/strong>\u2013 Click on the submit button, and you can review the status of the IPO application, whether the shares are allotted to you or not.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To sum up, as an investor, you need to understand what an<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketful.in\/ipo\"> initial public offering (IPO)<\/a> is and the associated procedures. One must know how to track the IPO subscription status, and once the subscription period ends, monitoring application status is also essential. IPO does not ensure a guaranteed return because sometimes IPO shares get listed on the stock exchanges at a discount. Therefore, before making any investment decisions, you should assess your risk tolerance and speak with your financial advisor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table has-small-font-size\"><table><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">S.NO.<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Check Out These Interesting Posts You Might Enjoy!<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketful.in\/blog\/ipo\/anchor-investors-in-ipos\/\">Anchor Investors in IPOs \u2013 Meaning, Role &amp; Benefits<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">2<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketful.in\/blog\/ipo\/how-to-cancel-an-ipo-application\/\">How to Cancel an IPO Application?<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">3<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketful.in\/blog\/ipo\/difference-between-ipo-and-fpo\/\">Why Invest in anKey Difference Between IPO and FPO IPO and its Benefits?<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">4<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketful.in\/blog\/ipo\/what-is-ipo-cycle\/\">What is Face What is the IPO Cycle<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">5<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketful.in\/blog\/ipo\/what-is-nii-in-ipo\/\">What is NII in IPO?<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">6<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketful.in\/blog\/what-is-an-ipo-mutual-fund-should-you-invest\/\">What Is An IPO Mutual Fund?
