Can I apply IPO in HNI category?

Yes, you can apply for an IPO in the HNI category in the same way as in the retail category. The only thing you need to note is that you need to select 'HNI' as the investor category in the IPO application form.

A high net worth individual (HNI) is a retail investor who bids more than 200,000 rupees for shares in an IPO. HNI IPO Applications are part of the non-institutional investor (NII) portion.

NIIs are divided into small NIIs (sNIIs) and large NIIs (bNIIs) depending on the amount of subscription. The sNIIs are investors bidding for shares worth between 2 lakhs and 10 lakhs and the bNIIs are investors bidding for shares worth more than 10 lakhs.
