After an IPO comes to a close and shares are allotted, the company’s shares are officially listed on the stock market. The day shares open for trading on the markets is called the listing date. This date is important as investors who missed out on the IPO can finally buy it on the stock market.

The Lead managers and registrar make sure that the allotment of shares is done in a proper and transparent manner and shares gets credited in allottee's demat account before it gets listed on stock exchanges. This will help investors to buy or sell the shares of the company in the secondary market on listing day itself.
