This refers to there being 200 lots overall, and an investor may apply for more than one lot. Various subscription scenarios are mentioned below. This can lead to several results, some of which are listed below:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Under Subscription<\/strong> \u2013 This situation occurs when the investor\u2019s bids for IPO shares are less than the total number of shares issued by the company. Since more shares are available, each investor is allotted shares for which they applied.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Oversubscription <\/strong>\u2013 Oversubscription of shares occurs when the total number of shares applied for by investors exceeds the number of shares the company is offering. For this scenario, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) establishes the rules that govern the distribution of shares to investors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Small Oversubscription<\/strong> \u2013 Every investor with a valid application receives one lot if there is a slight oversubscription, and the remaining lots will be distributed proportionately.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Large Oversubscription<\/strong> \u2013 According to the rules established by the Securities and Exchange Board of India, the lottery mechanism will randomly distribute the shares to investors and at least one lot to each bidder in the event of a very high oversubscription.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ipo-allotment-calculation\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IPO_Allotment_Calculation\"><\/span>IPO Allotment Calculation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the subscription data, the IPO shares are distributed. The two probable scenarios are listed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Undersubscription <\/strong>\u2013 All successful bidders are given shares in the event of undersubscription, and each bidder receives the quantity of shares they requested.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Oversubscription <\/strong>\u2013 Oversubscription of shares is a situation when the total number of shares applied for by investors exceeds the number of shares the company is offering. Two techniques will be used to distribute the shares to the investors: the lottery system and proportionate distribution.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Proportionately <\/strong>\u2013 Under this method, the shares are allotted to the investor proportionately. If an investor has applied for 100 shares and the IPO has been subscribed 20 times, then each investor will receive 5 shares.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lottery System<\/strong> \u2013 Under the lottery method, a random applicant who has applied for the shares at or above the cut-off price is selected.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read Also: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-api.pocketful.in\/blog\/ipo\/aadhar-housing-finance\/\">Aadhar Housing Finance: IPO And Key Insights<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-important-aspects-of-ipo-allotment\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Important_Aspects_of_IPO_Allotment\"><\/span>Important Aspects of IPO Allotment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of IPO allotment involves various steps to keep the process transparent; below mentioned are the major aspects of IPO allotment-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Categorization <\/strong>\u2013 The applicants are categorized into retail, QIB or NII, and each category has a reservation in the IPO.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> <strong>Allotment <\/strong>\u2013 The shares are allotted to the investors based on the subscription status, such as oversubscription or undersubscription.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Market Lot<\/strong> \u2013 The total issue will be divided into lots, which represent an equal number of shares and an investor is required to apply in multiples of the lot size.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>ASBA <\/strong>\u2013 An investor can bid for an IPO only through ASBA or an Application Supported by the Blocked Amount, a mechanism in which the application amount is blocked in the investor\u2019s bank account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Communication <\/strong>\u2013 Once the allotment is finalized, a message is sent to the investor by the registrar through mail or SMS.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Credit of Shares<\/strong> \u2013 The investors to whom the shares are allotted receive shares in their demat account.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reason-for-no-allotment-of-shares\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reason_for_no_Allotment_of_Shares\"><\/span>Reason for no Allotment of Shares<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There can be various reasons why investors might not get any shares in an IPO. Some of these are listed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Oversubscription <\/strong>\u2013 In case of high demand for shares during the IPO, the chances of receiving an allotment decrease.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Computerized Lottery System<\/strong> \u2013 In case of oversubscription, the shares are allotted through a lottery system. In this case, if you are not selected for the allotment, you will not receive any shares.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Error in Application<\/strong> \u2013 If you have made an error such as wrong PAN Card details or an incorrect Demat account number while submitting the IPO application, then your application will be rejected, and you will not be allotted any shares.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Multiple Applications<\/strong> \u2013 As per the regulations issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India, if you have submitted multiple applications using the same PAN details, your IPO application will be rejected.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Low Bid Amount<\/strong>\u2013 If you have submitted your application with a bid amount below the cut-off price, your application will be rejected and will not be considered for allotment.<\/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, investors must comprehend the IPO allocation regulations before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketful.in\/ipo\">applying for an IPO<\/a>. The SEBI has several regulations regarding the IPO process. Investors are categorized into different categories, with a reservation for each category in the IPO. If the IPO is undersubscribed, each applicant is allotted shares for which they applied. On the other hand, if the IPO is oversubscribed, shares are either allotted proportionately or through a lottery system.
