How to Check IPO Allotment Status
After an IPO closes, the registrar finalises the basis of allotment within 6 business days. You can check whether you received shares using your PAN number.
- Go to the IPO Desk allotment checker on the homepage.
- Select the IPO name from the dropdown or search box.
- Enter your 10-character PAN number (e.g. ABCDE1234F).
- Click Check Status— results appear within 2 seconds.
- For family applications, use the bulk PAN uploader (Excel format supported).

How IPO Allotment Works (SEBI Rules)
Indian IPOs use the ASBA (Application Supported by Blocked Amount) mechanism. Your bank blocks the application money until allotment. Under SEBI guidelines for the retail category:
- If the retail portion is undersubscribed, all applicants receive their full lot quantity.
- If oversubscribed, allotment is done via a computerised lottery — each unique PAN gets one entry regardless of lot count applied.
- Applying for more lots with the same PAN does NOT improve your odds.
- Unallotted amounts are unblocked within 1-2 business days after the allotment date.
