How do I check IPO allotment status on the official NSE, BSE or registrar website?

Three official places to look, what each one shows, and why money blocked in your bank is not the same as shares allotted.

When the result is ready

SEBI cut the time from an IPO's closing day to listing from six working days to three. Its circular of 9 August 2023 calls the closing day T. The rule became compulsory for public issues opening on or after 1 December 2023. The circular's annexure gives this indicative timetable.

• T: the issue closes. UPI mandates must be accepted by 5 pm.
• T+1: the stock exchange approves the basis of allotment, before 9 pm.
• T+2: money for shares not allotted is unblocked (for UPI bids, completed before 4 pm). Shares are credited to demat accounts (completed before 6 pm). The allotment advertisement goes up on the websites of the company, the merchant banker and the registrar, before 9 pm.
• T+3: trading starts.

These are working days. Each IPO's red herring prospectus prints its own indicative timetable, so check the dates there for the issue you bid in.

Route 1: the registrar's website

The registrar is the company that processes the applications and works out the allotment. Every IPO has one.

1. Find the registrar's name

   Open the red herring prospectus. Its cover page has a box called details of the registrar to the issue, with a phone number and an email ID. NSE's issue information page for the IPO also shows the name of the registrar.

2. Open the registrar's own website

   Type the address yourself. Do not tap a link that came in a message. Use only the registrar named in the offer document.

3. Pick the IPO and enter one detail

   For example, KFin Technologies runs an IPO allotment status page at ipostatus.kfintech.com, on its own kfintech.com domain. There you pick the IPO and search by application number, by demat account (DP ID and client ID) or by PAN.

Route 2: NSE's Verify IPO Bids page

NSE describes its tool in these words: “IPO Bid Verification module is a very simple tool to verify the IPO application details uploaded on the Exchange bidding system by your member / bank.” The same page says: “Exchange will also provide Allotment information as provided by the registrar to the issue.”

1. Open the page

   Go to nseindia.com/invest/check-trades-bids-verify-IPO-bids.

2. Choose the IPO

   Pick Equity & SME IPO bid details, then select the IPO's symbol.

3. Type your PAN or application number

   Enter one of them and submit. NSE says the data stays on the page until 10 days after the issue closes.

Route 3: BSE's application status page

BSE has its own page at bseindia.com/investors/appli_check.aspx. The page is called "Status of Issue Application". Pick Equity as the issue type, choose the issue name, type your application number or PAN exactly as you gave it in your application, then type the captcha code shown on the screen and press Submit.

Blocked money is not allotment

• A bid is not an allotment. Placing a bid only means your application reached the exchange. Shares are given out later, under the basis of allotment.
• Blocked money is not spent money. When you approve the UPI mandate, the bid amount is blocked in your bank account. If you get no shares, or fewer than you asked for, the extra is unblocked. For UPI bids, SEBI's timetable has this completed before 4 pm on T+2.
• Delays carry compensation. SEBI's circular says compensation to investors for delay in unblocking is computed from T+3 day.

Shares reach your demat account before listing day

Under the same timetable, the credit of shares to demat accounts is completed before 6 pm on T+2, and trading starts on T+3. So if you were allotted shares, check your demat holdings on the evening of T+2 or the morning of T+3. If they are not there on listing day, contact the registrar on the phone number or email ID printed in the red herring prospectus.

Never use unofficial checker sites, and keep your PAN to yourself

• Use only three places: the registrar named in the offer document, NSE's Verify IPO Bids page and BSE's application status page.
• Type the web address yourself. Do not open allotment links that arrive by SMS, WhatsApp or Telegram.
• Do not send your PAN, application number, OTP or UPI PIN to anyone who offers to check your allotment for you. The official pages let you check it yourself.
