How to Check IPO Allotment Status
Every way to check Indian IPO allotment — the registrar site, the BSE and NSE portals, your broker and your bank — what each one shows, and when the result actually goes live.

There are four places the allotment result shows up, and they do not all update at the same time. Knowing which one to look at saves refreshing a registrar page that has not gone live yet.
When the result actually appears
Indian IPOs run on a T+3 timetable, with T being the day the issue closes. The basis of allotment is finalised on T+1, shares are credited and blocked funds released on T+2, and listing is on T+3.
In practice the registrar publishes the result on the evening of T+1. There is no announced time, and the page often goes live before the registrar's own dropdown lists the company — which is why “no records found” on the first evening usually means “not yet”. Dates for current issues are on our allotment page and the IPO calendar.
1. The registrar's website
This is the authoritative source. Each IPO is handled by one registrar, named in the offer document and on the issue's detail page here. Going to the wrong one returns nothing, which people frequently read as a rejection.
- Open the allotment status page on the correct registrar's site.
- Select the company from the dropdown. If it is not listed, the result is not out.
- Choose a search method — PAN, application number, or DP ID and client ID — and enter the value.
- Complete the captcha and submit.
PAN is the simplest option because you do not have to dig out an application number. The result shows the number of shares applied for and the number allotted.
Registrars publish only on their own official domains. Sites that ask you to log in, pay, or hand over demat credentials to “check faster” are not registrars. A genuine check needs nothing beyond a PAN and a captcha.
2. The BSE and NSE portals
BSE
BSE hosts an application status page open to anyone: choose the issue type, pick the issue name, then enter your application number and PAN. It is often quicker to load than a registrar site on result night, when everyone is hitting the same server at once. It does require the application number, which your broker or bank confirmation will have.
NSE
NSE offers the same lookup but requires a one-time free registration on its site before you can use it. Worth setting up once if you apply regularly; not worth doing for the first time on the evening you want an answer.
3. Your broker's app
Most brokers surface the result in the same IPO section you applied from, usually pulled from the registrar shortly after publication. It is the least effort, and it is fine as a check — but if it disagrees with the registrar, the registrar is right.
4. Your bank account
This is the signal most people overlook, and it is frequently the earliest one. Your application blocked funds rather than debiting them, so:
- Block released in full, nothing debited — no allotment.
- Part of the block debited, the rest released — partial allotment, normal when the retail portion is oversubscribed.
- The full amount debited — full allotment.
The debit is what actually pays for the shares, so seeing it is as definitive as a registrar screen.
If you did not get an allotment
Blocked funds are released on T+2. If they are still blocked several working days after that, raise it with the bank that placed the block, not with the registrar or the company — the block lives on the bank's side.
It is also worth separating two different outcomes. Losing an oversubscribed retail draw is ordinary and says nothing about your application; the mechanics of that draw are set out in how IPO allotment works. An application that was rejected never entered the draw at all, and that has specific, avoidable causes — covered in why an IPO application gets rejected.
Common questions
When is IPO allotment status available?
The basis of allotment is finalised on the working day after the issue closes (T+1). Registrar sites usually go live with the result that evening, though the exact hour varies by issue and is not announced in advance.
Which registrar handles my IPO?
It is stated in the offer document and on the issue’s detail page. The common ones for Indian IPOs are MUFG Intime India (formerly Link Intime), KFin Technologies, Bigshare Services, Cameo Corporate Services, Maashitla Securities and Skyline Financial Services. Checking on the wrong registrar’s site will simply return no record.
Can I check allotment status with only my PAN?
Yes. Every registrar portal accepts PAN as a search option, and it is the easiest one to use because you do not need to find your application number. You will also need to pick the correct company from the dropdown.
My bank released the blocked amount. Does that mean I did not get allotment?
Almost always, yes. If the full blocked amount is released rather than debited, no shares were allotted. A partial debit means a partial allotment. This is often the earliest signal you get, sometimes before the registrar site updates.
The registrar site says no records found. What does that mean?
It usually means the result is not published yet, you have selected the wrong company, or the PAN entered does not match the one on the application. It does not by itself mean the application was rejected.
