IPO Basics

What is IPO Investment?

IPO stands for Initial Public Offering. It is a process where a company offers its shares to the public for the first time before listing on the stock exchange. Investors can apply for IPO shares during the subscription period.

IPO investment can give users access to new listing opportunities, but it also involves market risk, allotment uncertainty, listing price risk, and company-specific risk. Users should read the IPO details, company information, offer documents, price band, lot size, issue dates, and risk factors before applying.

Key IPO Points

  • Users apply during the IPO subscription period.
  • Applications are usually made in lots.
  • UPI mandate approval may be required.
  • IPO allotment is not guaranteed.
  • Shares are credited to Demat account if allotted.
