IPO Calculator — Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the GMP-based listing gain estimate?
GMP-based estimates are indicative, not guaranteed. GMP reflects grey market sentiment which can be quite accurate for heavily oversubscribed IPOs but can deviate significantly for smaller or less-tracked IPOs. Historical data shows GMP is within 10-15% of actual listing price in about 70% of cases for mainboard IPOs.
Should I apply for maximum lots to maximise IPO profit?
In the retail category (up to ₹2 lakh), each application gets only 1 lottery entry regardless of lot count. Applying for 1 lot vs 13 lots gives you the same allotment probability. The smart strategy is to apply from multiple family members' PAN accounts — each gets a separate lottery entry.
What taxes apply on IPO listing gains in India?
If you sell shares on listing day or within 12 months of allotment, gains are taxed as Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG) at 20%. If you hold for more than 12 months, gains above ₹1.25 lakh are taxed as Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) at 12.5%. These rates are as per Budget 2024 and may change.
What is the minimum IPO investment amount in India?
The minimum IPO investment in India is one lot, which is typically priced between ₹10,000 and ₹15,000 for most mainboard IPOs. SEBI mandates that the minimum application amount be approximately ₹15,000 for mainboard IPOs. SME IPOs can sometimes have higher minimum lot sizes.
