Method 1: Check IPO allotment of 2021 IPOs through the RTAs

You can search for your choice of IPO in the “Search” option to arrive quickly at the link. The last column will list the direct hyperlink to the IPO registrar’s website to directly check the IPO allotment status.

Method 2: [Check IPO allotment of 2021 IPOs through NSE or BSE]

The first method to check the allotment status is through the stock exchanges.

Most of the IPOs are listed on either or both of the below exchanges:

  • Only on BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange), OR
  • Both NSE (National Stock Exchange) and BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange).

Feedback from users indicate that the getting information from the exchanges is not conducive due to a host of reasons (either needing to create an account with NSE to check the status, OR the allotment status being uploaded with a significant delay).

Nevertheless, here are the links to check the IPO allotment status on BSE [link], and NSE [link] (you need to have a login account with NSE to proceed with the NSE option).

Method 3: Postal Mail and/or Email Intimation of the IPO allotment

In case you are patient, you will get an email from the IPO registrar with the details of allotment. Most registrars also dispatch a physical letter as well by snail mail.
