How many kittas should you apply in IPO?

Looking at the current scenario of the share market, the number of demat account holders have increased rapidly since the start of Lockdown, crossing the mark of 40 lakhs and counting. However, we have seen more than 20 lakhs people applying for every IPO recently. 

With the limited number of shares issued by the company, many IPOs get oversubscribed even when people apply only for 10 kittas. So the company is forced to allocate only 10 kittas to only the limited lucky applicants out of all. So not everyone will be allocated to even 10 kittas as most of the IPOs are oversubscribed. 

Well looking at the present context of Nepal, almost all IPOs are oversubscribed. So it is not worth it to apply for more than 10 kittas. On top of that, you will have to wait for the remaining amount evwn if you are allocated with 10 kittas. So your money will get stuck for, maybe a couple of weeks. 

When to apply more than 10 Kittas in IPO?

Only when any company issues IPO in huge quantity which ensure that all the applicants will get more than 10 kittas. So do the math and find out how much IPO you are likely to be allocated with (if there is a chance).

On the other hand, when any company issues IPO for locals of the project affected area then the locals can apply for more quantities as there will be small number of applicants usually. 

However, do check the issued quantity before you apply for any IPO and be sure about how many quantities to apply for. Jalpa Samudayik Laghubitta Bittiya Sanstha Limited- the recently issued IPO has more than 26 lakhs of applicants and is oversubscribed by 66.65 times.
