To save you the trouble of having to remember the exact initial public offering (IPO) dates and not miss out on any exciting IPO bids, many investment platforms have started offering “pre-apply” options. Paytm, Groww, Upstox, Angel One and ICICI direct are some of the investment platforms offering the option to apply for an IPO in advance.
Pre Application for IPO is a way to apply for an IPO before it goes live and is open to subscribe for three days. Here, the system stores the pre-IPO bids and later when the IPO goes live, it submits the applications. This way you don’t need to remember the dates of the IPO and bid for it in advance.
The upcoming IPOs using this feature are Nykaa, PolicyBazaar, Fino Payments Bank and Paytm.
Nykaa IPO: Issue will open on October 28, know what’s going on GMP
You can pre-apply for Nykaa’s IPO right now, which will begin on October 28 and close on November 1. The IPO of PolicyBazaar will start from 1st November and 3rd November.
At present, investors can apply for an IPO only when it is open for a period of three days. Many investors, especially those who do not trade actively, miss the opportunity to invest in IPOs due to timing, network issues and server glitches.
Paytm IPO: Paytm may launch IPO between November 8 and 10, issue size will be Rs 18,300 crore
Once a pre-order is placed, investors will be notified at every stage of the IPO application process such as the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) mandate, request to block the IPO application amount and successfully place their bid.
