Know What an IPO Is: An IPO is when a private company offers shares to the public for the first time. It’s your early chance to invest before the stock hits the market.
Open a Demat & Brokerage Account: To start, open a Demat account to hold shares and a brokerage account to apply for IPOs and manage trades.
Check If You’re Eligible: Make sure you meet IPO criteria. Keep enough funds in your bank or brokerage account to apply.
Research Before You Apply: Read the prospectus, understand the business, and look at market trends. Don’t use borrowed money—only invest what you can afford.
Understand Pricing & Allocation: IPO shares come with a price band. Bidding happens in this range, and retail investors often get shares at the lowest approved price.
Apply During the Offer Window: Apply through your broker or bank using ASBA. Funds are blocked, not debited. You can bid only in fixed lot sizes.
Track Allotment & Listing: If shares are allotted, they go to your Demat before the listing day. Once listed, you can choose to hold or sell based on your plan.
