When you go to already placed order page (if filled online), you have option to revise the bid or withdraw the application. This has to be done before cut off time.
PM himself said he is businessman of Gujarat. But then Chankya said something more worthy. When King becomes businessman, citizens becomes beggar. Good that people avoided to become beggar.
I works in LIC but its very unfortunate that it always comes forward for rescue in govt disinvestment programmes. LIC has huge corpus but their investment decisions are somehow influenced by govt whenever there is disinvestment process. That''s the reason that LIC''s return over the policies has come down. If such practices continue, definitely its going to loose the market share in insurance sector. Its a public money collected from policyholders. The moto should be to optimise their yield. I am not of the view to ignore the disinvestment programme but at least valuations must workout and if necessary should negotiate with govt. There isn''t any need to go for subscription 80-90 percentage of QIB quota. There are other financial institution owned by govt like SBI etc, leave some room for them.
Lic celebrated its diamond jubilee year Sept 2016 to Sept 2017 but it has nothing to give to its employees whereas it looses thousands of crore rupee in such disinvestment''s. Even in past it always came forward for rescue the govt in several disinvestment like ONGC, PFC, REC, Shipping Credit etc. and lost valuable money.
@Sabby Govt should have directly sold shares to LIC in stead of bringing out ipo. Issue totally failed looking to poor participation by all categories. Govt just trying to achieve the disinvestment target by hook and crook.

Sarkar ne share beche (NIACL) aur sarkar ne hi kharide (LIC - Rs.6500 crore). What a joke.
All you intelligent people tell me one thing . If LIC is the majority holder then who will sell the shares to bring the price down? There is no free float then . So why should the price get down ? Just wondering.
Lic is a long term investor.. in fact the entire QIB portion can be safely considered . Now in three years the govtvstake has to be around 75 % so follow up offer of 10 % within 3 years. Govt will boost this share through regulatory incentives to maximise the next 10 % . So do not see the price falling too much and if does lot of ling term investors hoping to enter at lesser than issue price will lap it up . See good traction on this stock and will not be surprised with a listing gain that holds . Few days back there was an article indicating checking insurance online of a vehicles . The moment govt tightens the screws on avoidance of motor insurance a notch we will see this stock soar . Maybe the govt is waiting for its top stock to list before these reforms are out to take advantage of the new rush to insure your vehicles .
Another highly priced IPO from the govt. There was a time when govt used to reasonably price offerings and leave something on the table for investors, and additionally it was an incentive which encouraged them to invest in markets.
Today it has become more about revenue maximisation.
Govt may gain in the short term, but it will put off investors at least in medium term.
Very true, even petrol was priced at 30-35 during Vajpayeejis time in line with global crude prices, when it was first time the fuel prices were deregulated in India.
There is nothing left for small investors in this ipo..18 share ke lot par yadi 10 yaa 20 rs kaa profit ho bhi gaya to bhi 200 yaa 400 rs profit leke retail investor konsa teer maar lega ..so itne kam ke liye dimag lagane kaa nahi ..

After detailed study I found NIA is comparable only with ICICI Lombard because both are in general insurance. Though many differences are there i.e market capitalization etc. Don''t compare NIA with SBI Life, General Insurance, ICICI Prudential.
We know the listing of ICICI Lombard. Though it didn''t give good return but price is more than issue price. It gave chance to earn 8 to 10 % (price more than 700) for short term investors. 8 to 10% is not a bad deal in short time.
If we compare ICICI Lombard and NIA then I found NIA is much superior in following:
History Customer Base Assets P/BV P/E
Because of ICICI Lombard''s neutral performance I can say listing is not in discount. I suggest investors to apply minimum lot. Chances are more that each applicant will get one lot. Favorable market condition will give minimum 5 to 10% return in short term. For mid to long term investors will get more return.
NIA ipo price as per their financial report is only 30-32 times of EPS ( published in Business Standard report ) but they published 74 times in offer document. and its actually 30-32 times.
If the management of the company don''t know the simple calculation, then how can we believe in their IPO.
compare apple to apple. In this case NIA should be compared with ICICI Lombard on all parameters it is better then ICICI lombard. So in layman term the price is alright however given the market general have inferior valuation for public sector company. IMO the should have come out with better valuation being a govt company like cochin shipyard but not the case.
Septa ji nice to see you on forum.Just a few observations.Cochin shipyard is more of a monopoly business with better margins & defence orders picking up. Insurance business is regulated and national insurance is EBITA/operating profit negative and profitability is only because of investments.
In continuation to the question from SUSHIRAH, so the people come on listing day with short sells without having actual delivery thus making the stock price go down?
In continuation to Madmkt comment, what will happen when short sellers start covering their short sells? From where short sellers will get shares to cover their short sells?
I am not expert in evaluating the prices for a stock. But as per Price to Book value comparison and many others as mentioned by Admin here at top, This IPO price seems attractive. I mean Price/Book at 2.4 vs 7.6(ICICI). Am i overlooking at this ratio. Please help.
I think only LIC will get all the shares so the listing day they do not sell. If LIC do not sell selling pressure not come and it will list at par. The retailer will encash their 30 rs discount.
Divestment through public issue requires leaving something on the table for initial investors.
This is basic ethics. Oh...ethics......probably it doesn''t mean anything to anyone......but still businesses who have not followed ethics have been shown the door by the market itself.......
As far as everyone is staying away is concerned is already visible in the subscription. So no one needs the advise in that regard.

Totally agree with Chandan Bhai that all markets are based on demand and Supply. But in this case where is the demand? Even QIB subscription is due to Govt institutions like LIC, Insurance Cos, PSU Banks etc. Otherwise this IPO should have under-subscribed and called off.
I may not buy even if they come back with reduction in price.
We know that QIB is already subscribed but if remaining categories remain close to zero.....it is a wake up call for the regulator. Hope some one is taking cognizance of this.
If the issue sails through as it is ....it is a private placement through public issue route rather than a public issue.
