If I’m eligible for X share of Udaipur RE. Can I apply more than X?

Yes, Dhruv. You can apply for additional shares, however the allotment will be guaranteed only to the extent of REs held. For remaining share it will depend on issue demand. If you don’t get the rights shares, the remaining amount will be refunded.
