Indian Trade Portal FAQ About IPO’S

What is an IPO?

According to Indian Trade Portal, Initial Public Offering, or IPO, is a way for a company to get listed on the Stock Exchange and raise money from investors for future projects. Or, an Initial Public Offer, or IPO, is when securities are sold to the public for the first time on the primary stock market.

According to Indian Trade Portal and From an investor’s point of view, an IPO gives them the chance to buy shares of a company directly from the company at a price they choose (in book-build IPOs). There is often a big difference between the price a company sets for its shares and the price investors are willing to pay for them. This gives investors who buy shares in an initial public offering (IPO) a good return.

From a company’s point of view, an IPO helps them figure out what their real value is, which is decided by millions of investors once their shares are listed on stock exchanges. IPOs also give companies money to help them grow in the future or pay off debts.

Who decides the date of the issue?

Once SEBI clears the “Draft Prospectus” of an IPO and the Stock Exchanges agree to it, it is up to the company going public to set the date and length of the IPO. Before setting the date, the company talks to the Lead Managers, the Registrar of the issue, and the Stock Exchanges. Following Indian Trade Portal will provide you more information

What does an IPO's registrar do?

The registrar of a public issue is a key part of the IPO process. They are a separate financial institution that is registered with SEBI and stock exchanges. They work for the company that is going public.

A registrar’s main job for an initial public offering (IPO) is to process applications, give applicants shares based on SEBI rules, handle refunds through ECS or checks, and move allocated shares to investors’ Demat accounts.

What do Lead Managers do during an IPO?

According to Indian Trade Portal , The company going public chooses an independent financial institution to be the lead manager. For big IPOs, companies choose more than one lead manager. They are called Book Running Lead Manager and Co Book Running Lead Managers.

Their main jobs are to start the IPO process, help the company with road shows, write a draught offer document and get SEBI and the stock exchanges to approve it, and help the company list its shares on the stock market.

What is Follow on public offering or FPO?

Follow-on public offering (FPO) is when a company that is already on the stock market sells shares to the public. An FPO is when a company that has already gone through an IPO and is on the stock market issues more shares of its stock.

What is primary & secondary market?

On the primary market, investors can buy shares directly from the company that put them on the market. This helps the company raise money.

Stocks are traded on the secondary market after they are first offered to investors in the primary market (through IPOs, etc.) and get listed on the stock exchange. The equity markets and the debt markets make up the secondary market. A secondary market is a place where listed stocks can be bought and sold. A primary market is how a company can get into a secondary market.

When applying to IPOs, it’s important to remember that all applicants need a demat account. Now, you can only open a demat account online, and some companies don’t charge you to open an account.

What is the difference between Floor Price and Cut-Off Price for a Book Building Issue?

The company responsible for creating the Book Building Public Issue chose a pricing range for it. Typically, the price band has an upper level and a lower level.

The floor price is the lowest price (lower level) at which an IPO can accept bids.

Investors may offer any price within the price range that has been established by the company for the Book Build IPO. Retail investors in the Book Build process also have the ability to select the “Cut-Off” price for bidding.

When an investor agrees to a “cut-off price,” they are agreeing to pay whatever the company ultimately decides to charge for the book. When submitting a bid at the cut-off price, the retail investor must pay the highest price. The remaining sum is returned to the retail investor if the firm thinks the final price will be less than the highest price requested for the IPO. This answer has been made by Indian Trade Portal

Is a PAN number required in order to apply for an IPO?
