Allotment in IPO - you can calculate yourself

[goodbrother]

Let us take example of ADANI POWER

Lot size were 65 and in retail portion you were allowed to apply for maxm 975 shares value 97500/ at cut off.


Retail invester should apply at cut off only as it is an understanding that whatever price is decided shall be applicable and excess paid by you for applying at cut off , 100 in case of ADANI, will be refunded.CUT OFF BIDDING IS ALLOWED TO RETAIL INVESTORS ONLY

If you applied for :

65 or 130 shares : retail oversubscription is 2.96 times . on dividing your application quantity entitlement works out 22 or 44 share respectively. SINCE MINIMUM ALLOTMENT MAY BE 65 SHARES ONLY , instead of rejecting your appl , you will be allotted 65 shares by Lottery, but to some lucky one only.

195 to 975 shares : if you divide 195 with 2.96 it comes to 66 shares , so 195 share appl will be alloted firm 66 shares , similarly you may calculate for all other applications too. few shares may be allotted extra as retail oversubscription may come down due to rejection,lowprice bids , cheque bouncing etc.AS OVERSUBSCRIPTION WILL NOT INCREASE OVER 2.96 TIMES ONCE BOOK BUILDING IS OVER AND DETAILS DECLARED.

what do you mean by "by Lottery, but to some lucky one only."?

suppose 100 appl made for 1 lot of 65 shares . so total demand is 6500 shares in this segment, since issue oversubscribed in retail 2.96 times , entitelment of shares for 100 appl of 1 lot is 2200.

since minimum allotment has to be 65 in this case , they will allot 65 shares to 34 lucky applicants by lottery out of 100 applicants to distribute 2200 shares.

So the key is apply in such lot size where no of applicants might be less.

i usually prefer three times.. it works for me.
