Short, plain-English lessons on how IPOs actually work in India — GMP, allotment, UPI applications, categories, RHP reading, SME vs mainboard, valuation. No tips, no advice, just the mechanics every applicant should know.
GMP (Grey Market Premium) explained: what it means, how to read it against the price band, and why it never guarantees listing gains.
Check any IPO allotment status online: registrar portals (Kfintech, Link Intime/MUFG, Bigshare), what details you need, and when results appear.
IPO allotment process explained: reservation split, retail lottery on oversubscription, basis of allotment, refunds and timelines.
Apply for any IPO online step by step: demat + UPI requirements, ASBA blocking, mandate approval, deadlines and common rejections.
QIB, NII, sNII/bNII and Retail categories explained: who bids where, reservation percentages, and how allotment differs in each.
RHP vs DRHP explained: what each document contains, where to find financials, risks, objects of the issue, and how DostIpo reads them.
SME vs mainboard IPO differences: lot size and minimum investment, listing platforms (NSE Emerge/BSE SME), risks, liquidity and who should consider them.
Judge any IPO valuation: post-issue P/E vs listed peers, EPS dilution, NAV, debt, and the red flags that matter before applying.
