@Antany Take a hypothetical situation -
Subscription for an IPO is
Retail - 50 times
NII - 100 times
In case of retail the allocation ratio will be 1:50
In RII :-
- For 2 lot applications (100/2=50)
Allocation ratio will be 1:50, which is same as retail- so no gains. Also, min of 25 applications are needed in that lot for participation in lottery.
- For 3 lot application (100/3 =33 appx)
So allocation ratio will be 1:33 and a min of 16/17 applications are needed for lottery.And so on..........
For very high lots (unless you clear the half mark of subscription, one is not sure of lottery participation )
