How to Check IPO Allotment Status
After an IPO closes for subscription, allotment is typically finalised within six business days. You can check your IPO allotment status through multiple official online platforms: BSE, NSE, or the registrar's website (KFintech or Link Intime). This process is free and takes less than two minutes.
Method 1: Check on BSE Website
- Go to bseindia.com and navigate to Investors section, then IPO allotment status.
- Select the IPO name from the dropdown list.
- Enter your application number or PAN number or DPID/Client ID.
- Submit and view your allotment status.
Method 2: Check on Registrar's Website (KFintech or Link Intime)
Each IPO has a designated registrar. You can find the registrar name in the RHP or from your broker's IPO page. Visit the registrar's website:
- KFintech: kfintech.com (formerly Karvy)
- Link Intime: linkintime.co.in
- Bigshare Services: bigshareonline.com
On the registrar's site, select the IPO, enter PAN or application number, and check your status.
Method 3: Check via Your Broker App
Most broker apps (Zerodha, Groww, Upstox, Angel One) have an IPO section where you can track applications you made through their platform. The allotment status and demat credit date are shown automatically once announced.
What Do the Allotment Results Mean?
| Status | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Allotted | Shares will be credited to your demat account on T+6 |
| Not allotted | Application unsuccessful; blocked amount will be released in 1-2 days |
| Partial allotment | Applicable only for HNI/NII category; retail always gets full lot or nothing |
When Is Allotment Announced?
IPO allotment is typically announced within five to six business days of the IPO closing date. The SEBI-mandated timeline requires allotment within six days and listing within seven days of IPO closure. You will also receive an SMS or email from the registrar and your broker confirming allotment.
What Happens If Not Allotted?
If you are not allotted shares, the amount blocked under ASBA (Application Supported by Blocked Amount) is released back to your bank account within 1-2 business days after allotment. No interest is paid on the blocked amount during this period, which is something to factor in for large applications.
Key Takeaway
Checking IPO allotment status is simple and takes only a few minutes on BSE, registrar websites, or your broker app. Keep your application number and PAN handy. Use the Lemonn app to track IPO timelines, monitor your applications, and plan your listing-day strategy based on allotment results.
