How long does it take for shares to be credited to my Demat account after allotment?
Once shares are allotted in an IPO, the next step is crediting them to your Demat account. This process usually takes a few working days and is handled by the registrar and depository (NSDL/CDSL).
Timeline for crediting shares
- For SME IPOs: Shares are generally credited to your Demat account within 1 week of allotment.
- For mainboard IPOs: The timeline is typically 2 to 3 working days after the allotment date.
- The exact timeline may vary slightly depending on the issuing company, registrar, and the exchange's final settlement window.
You can view the credited shares by logging into your FYERS account or checking your CDSL/NSDL statement.
What if?
| Scenario | Explanation |
|---|
| Shares haven’t appeared in your portfolio yet | Allow 1–2 more days post-allotment. It may still be in the process of crediting. |
| You received partial allotment | Only the allotted quantity will reflect; the remaining funds are unblocked or refunded. |
| The issue was withdrawn or delayed | Shares won’t be credited. Refunds will be processed automatically. |
| You don’t see the shares in FYERS | It may take time to sync holdings across depositories. Try refreshing or check later. |
You can also check share credit status by logging into your CDSL/NSDL account using your registered PAN and Demat credentials.
