How Long Does It Take for IPO Shares To Be Credited to My Demat Account, and How Can I Sell IPO Post Listing?
After IPO allotment, the next step is credit of shares to your Demat account. This process is managed by the registrar and depository (NSDL/CDSL), and the timeline varies depending on whether it is a Mainboard IPO or an SME IPO. Once credited, you can sell the shares through FYERS on the listing day like any other stock.
Timeline for Share Credit
- Mainboard IPOs: Shares are typically credited within 2–3 working days after the allotment date.
- SME IPOs: Shares may take up to 1 week after allotment to be credited.
- The exact timeline depends on the issuing company, registrar, and settlement process.
You can check whether shares have been credited by:
- Logging into your FYERS account → Portfolio → Holdings.
- Checking your CDSL/NSDL Demat statement with your PAN and Demat credentials.
Selling IPO Shares After Listing
Once shares are credited and the IPO is listed on the exchange, you can sell them via FYERS App or Web.
On FYERS App
- Log in to the FYERS App.
- Tap Portfolio from the bottom navigation bar.
- Select Holdings.
- Locate the IPO stock that was allotted to you.
- Tap the stock and choose Sell.
- Enter the quantity and price (or select Market Order).
- Review and submit your order.
- Track execution under the Orders tab.
On FYERS Web
- Log in to FYERS Web.
- Go to Portfolio → Holdings.
- Locate the IPO stock that was allotted to you.
- Click the stock and select Sell.
- Enter the quantity and price (or select Market Order).
- Review and place your order.
- Track execution under the Orders tab.
IPO shares, especially in SME segments, may take longer to credit. Always check your holdings on the listing day before placing sell orders.
What If…
| Scenario | Explanation |
|---|
| Shares haven’t appeared in your portfolio | Allow 1–2 more days after allotment. Credit may still be in process. |
| You received partial allotment | Only the allotted quantity will reflect; remaining funds are unblocked. |
| The IPO issue was withdrawn/delayed | No shares will be credited; refunds are processed automatically. |
| Shares not visible in FYERS on listing day | Refresh holdings or check after 10 AM; sync delays are possible. |
| Stock is not listed yet | Selling is only possible once the stock is officially listed (NSE/BSE for mainboard, NSE Emerge/BSE SME for SME). |
