How this calculator works

Lots per PAN = floor(amount per PAN ÷ (issue price × lot size))Total lots = lots per PAN × number of PANsTotal investment = issue price × lot size × total lotsExpected GMP profit (if GMP entered) = GMP × lot size × total lots

How to increase IPO allotment chances has one statistically honest answer: more valid applications. Since retail allotment is a per-application lottery with at most one lot each, three family PANs mean three lottery tickets. This optimizer converts PANs and per-PAN budgets into total lots, total blocked amount and expected GMP profit.

The compliance lines are strict and often searched: one person cannot file two applications on the same PAN (all get rejected), each applicant should pay from their own ASBA-linked bank account, and joint demat counts only the first holder's PAN. Minors with their own PAN and guardian-operated demat can apply normally.

Use it before bidding day: set lots from the Lot Size calculator, add live GMP for the profit preview, and keep every application at cut-off price so none gets rejected on price.

FAQs

Can one person use multiple PANs for an IPO?

Each PAN must belong to a distinct individual. Using someone else's PAN without their knowledge is not permitted; family members may apply separately with their own demat accounts.

Does more PANs improve allotment?

Allotment is per application; spreading across valid PANs increases the number of applications and thus the statistical chance of at least one allotment.

Can I submit two applications with my own PAN?

No. Multiple applications using the same PAN are detected and all of them are rejected outright — you lose the chance completely.

Can family members share one bank account for ASBA?

Each applicant should apply from their own bank account linked to their own demat. Third-party ASBA payments can get the application rejected.

Can a minor apply for an IPO?

Yes. A minor with their own PAN and demat account (operated by a guardian) can submit an IPO application like any retail investor.

What about joint demat accounts?

For joint demat holdings, only the first holder's PAN counts. An application is valid only against that first holder's PAN and bank account.
