Complete guide to understanding IPO allotment process
IPO allotment is the process through which shares are offered to the applicants of an initial public offer. There is a window of share allotment after every IPO subscription period. During this period, the shares are apportioned to investors according to the applied quantity and the demand of the IPO. Allotment determines whether and how many shares each investor shall get. This is either fully or partially allotted, depending on the number of applications and the availability of the shares.

The IPO allotment procedure essentially comprises the following steps:
Investors apply for shares in the IPO subscription window.
Applications collected and recorded by the IPO registrar.
Shares are allocated based on demand, application size, and allotment rules like pro-rata or lottery.
Allotment is finalized, and the applicants to whom allotment is made are informed.
The amount applied for by unsuccessful applicants is returned.
The number of shares subscribed to by every allottee is credited to their respective demat accounts.
IPO allotment depends on total demand for the issue and the availability of shares. Based on these factors, a company resorts to methods such as lottery or pro-rata in the case of an oversubscribed IPO.
Used when demand significantly exceeds supply. Winners are selected randomly from eligible applications.
Shares distributed proportionally based on the amount applied for by each investor.
For instance, if an investor applies for a larger number of shares than allotted, the shares will either be distributed through a random draw or proportionately, depending on the overall subscription and rules of allotment.
