Be Part of a Company’s Market Debut
An IPO gives you the opportunity to invest in a company at the very start of its journey as a publicly listed entity. At K&G, we make the application process seamless — from tracking upcoming issues to applying through ASBA
From upcoming IPO alerts to subscription tracking, from issue to listing day updates — we’ve got it covered.
Understanding IPOs
An Initial Public Offering (IPO) is the process by which a private company offers its shares to the public for the first time, raising capital and getting listed on a stock exchange like NSE or BSE. Investors can apply for shares during the subscription window at a price set within the issue’s price band. If the allotment is successful, shares are credited to your demat account and typically begin trading on the exchange within a few days of allotment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is ASBA and how does it work?
ASBA blocks the application amount in your own bank account rather than debiting it upfront. The amount is only deducted if you receive allotment; otherwise, it’s unblocked automatically. - How is IPO allotment decided?
Allotment is determined by the exchange through a computerized process, especially when an issue is oversubscribed. Retail investors are typically allotted in lots through a lottery system in oversubscribed issues. - Can I apply for an IPO without a demat account?
No — you need an active demat account to apply, since allotted shares are credited electronically to that account. - What happens if I don’t get allotment?
If you’re not allotted shares, the blocked amount in your bank account is released and no money is debited. - Is there a minimum investment for IPOs?
Yes — each IPO specifies a minimum lot size and price band; the minimum investment is the lot size multiplied by the issue price.
