45 Rs Discount is given to retail investor, thats a main difference beteween GIC and ICICIL & SBILIFE. Everyone Should Apply in all account to get Listing benefit
Yes, This is a great Deepawali gift by the Govt. One should apply Full 2 Lacs as the size is also big. instead of applying 15000 for a small IPO and getting allotment once in a year (after applying 15 differnt IPos), its better to apply full 2 lacs and get atleast 50K to -1 Lac or even full allotment and enjoy 5% retail discount.
Guptaji, Thanks a LOT for these two proper suggestions....

At 25 PE, GIC IS AVAILABLE AT A DECENT DISCOUNT TO SBILIFE, ICICI LOMBARD AND ICICI PRU. BESIDES, 5% DISCOUNT TO RETAIL IS A VERY BIG CUSHION. NO LARGE IPO FROM PUBLIC SECTOR HAS LISTED IN DISCOUNT AT DAY 1. I M TALKING ABOUT LARGE IPO. CONSIDERING 5% DISCOUNT AND BIG SIZE, WE SHOULD APPLY FULL 2 LAC AT CUT OFF. DONT FALL IN TRAP OF GREY. APPLY WITH FULL FORCE.
If I apply for this IPO at lower price band, and if retail quota is undersubscribed but overall subscription is more than 1X, then will I get allotment at lower price? I am asking whether the priority is given to category or the bid price?
Overall Highest bids get alloted first. That is to say that cut off price is decided considering all bids across categories. Any bidders below cut off is not allotted shares.
Only retail can apply at cut off ie a retail bidder applying at cut off will be entitled to allotment at what ever price the shares are issued.
Therefore bidding at cut off is the best case scenario for retail bidders
It is the world 12th largest reinsurance co ltd..there is no point of comparing with Icici Lombard, SBI Life, pru..these are not even close.. https://www.google.co.in/amp/m.timesofindia.com/business/india-business/gic-re-moves-up-two-slots-in-world-reinsurance-rankings/amp_articleshow/60757226.cms
Though there is a discount of 45/- for retail investors, yet 912-45=867 is still more than the minimum bid amount of 855 for big bidders other than retail investors. In Cochin Shipyard such difference was not there.

Just done with some preliminary analysis , came up with following data @ price of INR 915 Top line Growth = 12% Bottom line Growth = 8.8% Asking PE on FY18 estimate = 24.5x P/B = 4.03
Preliminary it seems pricey but it is not, with 4000 cr asking from Retail, it will give confirm allotment(rather it may remain under-subscribed) and stabilize your portfolio
Just Check this You Never Feel this is Expensive in the Last 17 Year it is almost 10 time Their Revenue and Profit so never compare this with ICICI Lombard or any other Company Becoz it is Reinsurance Company
While its a great company, the price may be stretched and the sentiment too isn''t in favour of the insurance companies.
GMP (-10)... Not sure if discount is factored into the price.

GIC IS GREAT IPO. A BIT OVESTREACHED. BUT IF YOU SEE THE VALUATIONS OF ICICI LOMBARD , ICICI PRU AND SBI LIFE, IT IS AVAILABLE AT LEAST 10% CHEAP. CONSIDERING RETAIL QUOTA OF 27 LAC SMALL APPLICATIONS, WE SHOULD APPLY FULL 2 LAC APPLICATIONS

Mr Athar, when you apply for an amount exceeding 2 LAC , you automatically becomes HNI. But allotment chances are significantly lower in HNI category. However, a lot of leverage players with borrowed funds apply in HNI category. For us it''s not beneficial
I think retail kota will. Not subscribe fully in this ipo. 27 lakhs Applications for full. Kota. If it breaks 21 lakhs applications record of Cochin .shipyard. then fully possible
General Insurance Company Limited Issue Dates – 11 October to 13 October Price Band - Rs 855 to Rs 912 Retail Discount and Employee Discount - Rs 45 Bid Lot – 16 shares
Retail investors, let us avoid this insurance issue. I do not think that this issue also will give some listing gains to us. All insureres have cheated us. Icici pru, icici lombard, sbi life etc. I will not apply. One small advice to retail investors. In case you apply and get allottment, try to exit on listing day. Dont wait for unlimited profit otherwise you may end up in huge losses in case NIFTY goes below 9000. Which is very much possible in November.
Kosak started at 700 rs ......but 2200 per sauda llittle bi confusing as i know every applicant will get allotment....by this way gmp must statt near to 140 rs
