Why I am not getting SME IPO Allotment?

This is the growing concern of many SME IPO investors that even though applied in many SME IPOs but have not got a single allotment. Are we doing something wrong? Do we need to use any other process to apply in SME IPO? To understand it, let's discuss this with a simple example.

Assume ABC Company SME IPO figures

  • SME IPO Issue Size: 20 Cr
  • 50% HNI and 50% Retail quota
  • Lot Size: approx 1200 shares
  • IPO Price: Rs 100
  • 1 Retail Application amount: Rs 1,20,000

With the above example for Rs 20 Cr IPO

  • Total Lots: 1666 (Approx)
  • Retail: 833 (1 lot application)
  • HNI: 416 (2 lots application)

It means, only 833 retail investor applications and 416 HNI applications are to be selected. With this, one can understand why the probability of getting SME IPO is low. In conclusion, the size of SME IPO is very small and lot size is very big (1200 shares) so the numbers of allottees will be very less.

Whereas in Mainboard IPO, it is the complete opposite of SME IPO. Size of IPO is big and lot size is small (1000), So the numbers of allottees are much higher.

Second point to consider is the number of times the IPO oversubscribe which contributes to the probability of getting an IPO allotment.

I have not received a single IPO since last 3 months even though I have 8 demat accounts at home. Am I facing any problem in placing the IPO?

Applications submitted by individuals on their own using online banking platforms are assigned a unique prefixes. Similarly, applications made through brokerage houses are assigned a unique prefixes. There is a strong lobby among brokerage houses and bse/nse. The allotment process ignores applications made by individuals based on prefixes. The applications with certain prefix submitted through brokerage houses are preferred while allotting profit making ipo. Only loss making IPOs are allotted to individual applications made through online banking platforms. General Public keep trying their luck to get profit making ipo allotment without knowing that they will never get. Just ignorance.

I APPLIED FOR INOX IPO AND HAPPY FORGING FOR MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF 13 LOTS IN RETAIL CATEGORY , 3 APPLICATIONS IN EACH IPO. BOTH IPO''S WERE SUBSCRIBED 15.4 TIMES IN RETAIL CATEGORY, BUT I WAS NOT ALLOTED ANY SINGLE LOT, MY FUNDS WERE ALSO BLOCKED.
NOW I WANT TO KNOW WHAT WOULD BE THE REASON OF NON ALLOTMENT [OVERSUBSCRIPTION OR ANY TECHNICAL APPLYING ERROR] FROM WHERE I CAN GET NONALLOTMENT REASON
THANKYOU

Dear Sir,
What are the systems of SME IPO allotment. Is there any transparency in allotment of SME IPOs or is it allotted by their routine procedure? Is there are chances of allotment of female retailer and minor retailer ? Pl advise in detail.
