IPO Process: Simplified for Everyone

The Initial Public Offering (IPO) process marks a pivotal transition for a company—from a private entity to a publicly listed one. Here’s a simplified breakdown:

1. What is an IPO?
   An Initial Public Offering (IPO) is the process through which a private company offers its shares to the public for the first time. It allows investors to buy shares and become part owners of the company.
2. How can I apply for an IPO in India?
   You can apply for an IPO through your bank’s ASBA facility (Application Supported by Blocked Amount) or via your stockbroker using UPI-based applications. Both online and offline methods are available.
3. What is the difference between Mainboard IPO and SME IPO?
   Mainboard IPOs are issued by large, well-established companies and are listed on NSE/BSE mainboard exchanges.
   SME IPOs are launched by small and medium enterprises and listed on NSE SME or BSE SME platforms.
4. What does IPO Grey Market Premium (GMP) mean?
   GMP indicates how much an IPO is being traded unofficially before its listing. It shows market sentiment but is not an official or guaranteed price indicator.
5. How is IPO allotment decided?
   IPO allotment is done by the registrar of the issue. For retail investors, shares are allotted through a lottery system if demand is higher than supply.
6. When do IPO shares get listed on the stock exchange?
   IPO shares are generally listed within 6 working days from the issue’s closing date, as per SEBI guidelines.
7. Can I sell IPO shares on the listing day?
   Yes, investors can sell their shares on the listing day once they are credited to their demat account. Many traders book listing gains, while long-term investors may hold.
8. Pre-IPO Preparations
   The company appoints investment banks (lead managers), hires registrars, and appoints legal and accounting advisors. A red-herring prospectus is drafted, highlighting financials, business strategy, and risk factors.
9. IPO Launch & Price Band
   Post-approval from market regulators, the IPO is launched with a price band—a lower and upper limit for the per-share issue price. This helps gauge market demand.
10. Subscription Period (Open / Close)
    The IPO opens for subscription on the “open” date and closes on the “close” date. Investors may apply via categories such as Retail, Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs), and Non-Institutional Investors (NIIs).
11. Subscription Status & GMP
    During the IPO period, websites update subscription metrics (e.g., 10× overall, 5× retail). The Grey Market Premium (GMP) may also indicate expected listing movement, though it’s unofficial.
12. Allotment
    After the close, shares are allotted proportionally among successful applicants. The basis of allotment is published—often accessible via the registrar’s website by entering PAN or application details.
13. Refunds & Demat Credit
    Applicants who didn’t receive full allotment get refunds, while allotted shares are credited to their Demat accounts—typically before listing.
14. Listing Day
    The IPO lists on stock exchanges like NSE or BSE, and the stock opens for trading. The listing price often differs from the issue price—creating a gain (or discount) scenario.
