How to Buy IPO Online in India?

Investing in IPOs can be an exciting opportunity for individuals looking to participate in the growth of promising companies. In India, buying IPOs has become more accessible and convenient, thanks to online platforms. With these platforms, you can easily apply in your favorite IPO.

Before applying for an IPO online, you need the following things -

  1. Demat Account - Before participating in IPOs, you must have a Demat (Dematerialized) account. This account holds your securities electronically, eliminating the need for physical share certificates. You can open a Demat account with a SEBI-registered depository participant (DP).

  2. Trading Account - To participate in IPOs online, it is essential to have a trading account. You can open this account with any SEBI-certified depository participant.

  3. Bank Account - It’s imperative to have a bank account for purchasing applied shares. The payment process operates through the Application Supported by Blocked Amounts (ASBA) method, which blocks a specific amount of money based on your share bid. Once you receive the allotment, the corresponding amount is debited from your account. If you are allotted fewer shares than you had initially bid for, the remaining amount will be unblocked and made available.

Once these things are ready, you can apply for an IPO online through your broker. To apply through your broker:

  • Login to your account with your broker. If you don't have one, register with your email and phone number to create one
  • Locate the IPO tab and navigate to the current IPO section
  • Select the desired IPO from the current IPO list
  • Enter the lot size or the number of stocks you want to bid for
  • Choose the bid price, preferably the cut-off price to increase the chances of IPO allotment
  • Enter your UPI ID in the designated field
  • Click the submit button
  • Approve the transaction on your UPI app

You can also invest in an IPO online through Internet banking. To do so -

  • Log in to your Internet banking account
  • Find the ASBA tab and click on it
  • Select the 'Apply IPO' option and choose the desired company you wish to bid on
  • Enter the requested details, including your PAN and name
  • Input the bid quantity and price, then click on the Submit button
  1. Research the Company: Thoroughly analyze the company's business model, financials, industry prospects, and competitive landscape. Understand the company's growth potential and risk factors before making an investment decision.

  2. Read the Prospectus: Carefully review the IPO prospectus provided by the company. It contains crucial information about the issue size, price band, use of funds, and risks associated with the investment. Understand the terms and conditions before proceeding.

  3. Determine Your Investment Amount: Determine Your Investment Amount: Decide the amount you are comfortable investing in the IPO. Consider your financial goals, risk tolerance, and overall investment portfolio. Avoid over-committing your funds to a single investment.

  4. Check the IPO Dates: Be aware of the IPO subscription period, which typically lasts a few days. Note the opening and closing dates to ensure you don't miss out on applying for the IPO.

  5. Choose a Reliable Brokerage Platform: Select a reputable and user-friendly online brokerage platform for IPO applications. Ensure the platform offers seamless transaction processes, secure payment gateways, and reliable customer support.

To Sum Up

Investing in IPOs online in India has become increasingly accessible and user-friendly, thanks to technological advancements. You can make informed investment decisions by following these steps. Research thoroughly, understand the risks involved, and consult with financial advisors if needed. Happy investing!

After completing the IPO allotment process, you can check the status of your application. Stockbrokers usually provide an online portal or a dedicated section on their website where you can enter your application details, such as the PAN number or application number, to check the status. You may also receive an email or SMS notification regarding the allotment status.
