Why Am I Not Getting an IPO Allotment After Applying Through FYERS?

Not receiving an IPO allotment after applying through FYERS is common and usually occurs due to factors outside the platform’s control. The allotment process is managed by the registrar of the issue as per SEBI regulations, and depends on demand and allocation rules.

Common Reasons for Non-Allotment

  • Oversubscription: When the IPO receives more applications than available shares, allotment may be done via a lottery or proportionate method. Non-allotment is common in heavily subscribed issues.
  • High retail demand: In oversubscribed retail categories, the probability of allotment reduces significantly.
  • UPI mandate not approved: If the UPI request is not approved within the cut-off time, your application becomes ineligible.
  • KYC/PAN mismatch: Any mismatch in PAN, bank, or KYC details can lead to rejection.
  • Multiple applications with same PAN: SEBI allows only one retail application per PAN. Multiple bids may all be rejected.

What Happens After a Missed Allotment?

  • Your application status will show as Not allotted under Orders → IPO on FYERS.
  • Your blocked funds are automatically unblocked by your bank within a few working days. FYERS does not handle refunds.
  • If you still want to participate, you can buy the stock directly from the secondary market after listing.
To improve your chances, always apply at the cut-off price, approve UPI requests on time, and ensure your PAN, bank, and KYC details are correct.
