What you must know about allotment status checking

Allotment status online is an internet facility that is provided by the BSE (formerly Bombay Stock Exchange) in the case of mainboard IPOs and BSE SME Segment IPOs as well as by the registrars on their website. Many of the brokers also provide direct connectivity to the database. However, in the absence of any connectivity, one option you always have to use one of these options. In this case, Saroja Pharma Industries Ltd is an NSE SME Emerge IPO and hence the data would not be available on the website of BSE. 

NSE does not provide this facility on its website. That means; you can either only check the allotment status on the website of the IPO registrar, KFIN Technologies Limited (formerly Karvy Computershare). The allotment in the IPO will depend on the extent of the oversubscription across the retail, HNI / NII and the QIB portion and it is the valid applications that will make the cut.
