How to Check IPO Allotment Status: Registrar, NSE, BSE
How to check IPO allotment status in India on the registrar's site, NSE or BSE with your PAN, application number or demat account, and what the results mean.
You can check IPO allotment status from the evening of T+1, the working day after the issue closes. Search with your PAN, application number or demat account on the website of the IPO's registrar (the company that processes applications), or on the allotment lookup of the stock exchange where the shares will list. Your demat account shows the shares from T+2.
Here is where to look, what you need and what the results mean.
When is IPO allotment status available?
Under SEBI's T+3 timeline, the basis of allotment is finalised on T+1. Registrars usually publish results that evening, and sometimes the next morning.
| Day | What you can check |
|---|---|
| T+1 | Allotment status on the registrar and exchange websites |
| T+2 | Shares in your demat account, or the blocked amount released |
| T+3 | Shares listed; you can sell from your demat account |
Every IPO page on Eyepio shows the allotment date in its timeline. Issues closing this week are on the upcoming IPOs list.
Method 1: the registrar's website
The registrar is named in the offer document and on each Eyepio IPO page (under Contacts). Large registrars include KFin Technologies, MUFG Intime India (formerly Link Intime) and Bigshare Services. SME issues often use smaller registrars.
- Open the registrar's IPO allotment status page. Eyepio IPO pages link to it directly when the registrar publishes one.
- Select the company name from the list. New issues appear once allotment is final.
- Choose how to search: PAN, application number or DP ID / client ID.
- Enter the details and the captcha, then submit.
- The page shows the shares applied and shares allotted.
Method 2: the stock exchange websites
NSE and BSE both offer allotment lookups for issues listing on them:
- BSE: choose "Equity", select the issue, and enter your application number or PAN.
- NSE: sign in with your PAN, select the issue, and enter the application number.
Exchange lookups use the same allotment data as the registrar, but some show only applications made on that exchange. If one doesn't find your bid, try the registrar.
Method 3: your demat account, bank or broker
- Demat account (T+2): allotted shares appear in your holdings on the depository participant's app or statement, and NSDL/CDSL send an SMS or email.
- Bank (T+2): if nothing was allotted, the blocked amount is released in your bank account.
- Broker app: most brokers update the IPO order with the allotment result after the registrar publishes it.
What the allotment result means
| Result | Meaning | What happens next |
|---|---|---|
| Allotted (e.g. 1 lot) | You received shares | Shares credited on T+2; money for them debited |
| Not allotted | Your bid was valid but not picked | Blocked amount released, usually by T+2 |
| Rejected / invalid | The bid didn't meet the rules | Amount released; the reason may be shown |
| Not found | Results not out yet, or wrong details | Check again later or search by PAN |
When a retail category is oversubscribed, getting one lot depends on a computerised draw of lots, not on how many lots you bid. The rules are in how IPO allotment works.
IPO allotment status for SME issues
SME IPOs on NSE Emerge and BSE SME follow the same T+3 timeline, so their results also come out on T+1. They often use smaller registrars, whose sites may list the company only once allotment is final. The minimum application in an SME issue is larger (two lots), so a result shows either the full minimum application or nothing. The differences between the boards are covered in mainboard vs SME IPO.
Allotment dates for every open and recent issue are on the IPO calendar. If you haven't bid yet, start with how to apply for an IPO.
If the blocked money isn't released
- Check your allotment status first. If shares were allotted, the money is debited for them.
- If nothing was allotted and the amount is still blocked after T+2, contact the bank that blocked it (for UPI, the bank behind your UPI ID).
- If unresolved, write to the registrar with your application number, PAN and the bank's reference. The registrar's contact details are in the offer document and on the IPO page.
Frequently asked questions
When can I check IPO allotment status?
From the evening of T+1, the first working day after the issue closes, once the basis of allotment is final. Some registrars publish it the next morning.
Can I check allotment status with my PAN only?
Yes. Registrar websites and the exchanges let you search by PAN. You don't need the application number.
Why does my allotment status say "not found"?
Results may not be published yet, the company may not be listed in the registrar's dropdown yet, or the details may not match the application. Try searching by PAN, or check again after a few hours.
When will shares appear in my demat account?
On T+2, the second working day after the issue closes. They can be sold from listing day, T+3.
How long does it take to get the refund?
Under the T+3 timeline, the blocked amount for bids that receive no shares is released by T+2. Delays are usually resolved by the bank that blocked the funds.
