After the bidding period of an IPO closes, applicants eagerly await the basis of allotment. Knowing exactly where and how to verify your allotment helps you confirm share allocations quickly before shares hit your Demat account.

1. How Does IPO Allotment Work?

If an IPO is oversubscribed in the retail category, SEBI regulations mandate that shares be distributed fairly among applicants using a computerized lottery system. Each lucky retail applicant receives exactly one minimum lot size regardless of how many lots they bid for.

Registrar Allotment Verification

Once the basis of allotment is finalized, investors can verify share allotment using their PAN or application number via the check IPO allotment status.

2. Fast Verification via IPO Trend

During popular mega-IPOs, registrar servers often experience heavy traffic bottlenecks. You can easily query live allotment records using your PAN card number or DP Client ID through an IPO allotment result checker, which provides unified registrar status updates.

3. Checking via Official Registrar Portals

Each IPO appoints a lead registrar to manage the application ledger:

  • Link Intime India: Common registrar for large Mainboard issues.
  • KFin Technologies: Manages both Mainboard and high-profile tech IPOs.
  • Bigshare Services: Frequently acts as registrar for SME IPOs.

4. Detecting Allotment Early via Bank Mandates

Often, your bank will notify you before the registrar portal updates. If your UPI blocked mandate status changes to "Funds Debited", you have secured an allotment! If the mandate status changes to "Mandate Revoked / Expired", your blocked funds have been released back to your bank balance.
