Will get more than one lot if I applied under HNI category? For eg my HDFC NRI account has option to apply as HNI for 50 lots, say suppose I applied for 50 lot and the IPO is over subscribed. So in that case either I will get 50 or nothing or one lot randomly just like if I’m applying as a retailer’s category?
Allotment for HNI category is done on proportionate basis, compared to Retail Category where allotment is done randomly in case of over subscription chances of allotment are high in HNI category.
You can read the point 7.6.1.1 here to know how the allotment on proportionate basis works.
Hey Shubham. I read the fine print there under point 7.6.1.1 but still confused on one thing.
All the applications where the proportionate allotment works out to less than 100 shares per applicant, the allotment shall be made as follows:
Each successful applicant shall be allotted a minimum of 100 securities; and
The successful applicants out of the total applicants for that category shall be determined by drawal of lots in such a manner that the total number of shares allotted in that category is equal to the number of shares worked out as per (ii) above.
This is scenario where I bid for 50 lots, but the HNI was oversubscribed by 100x. In that case my allotment comes out as 0.5 lots. Now for people having less than 1 lot allocation(100 shares as mentioned in the fine print), is there a lottery system?
No ,in case of very high over subscription in NII, there is no partial lot allotment nor lottery, we will not get any allotment. I have faced this recently for Indigo paints IPO where I didn’t get any in NII category
