How to check allotment status of Yatra Online IPO

Yatra Online IPO gets a very tepid response

The ₹775 crore IPO of Yatra Online Ltd, consisted of an offer for sale (OFS) and a fresh issue combined. The Fresh issue was to the tune of ₹602 crore while the OFS portion was to the tune of ₹173 crore. Thus, there is transfer of ownership via OFS and also dilution of equity via fresh issue in this case. The issue was overall subscribed just 1.61 times, with the maximum subscription coming from the retail segment, which got subscribed 2.11 times. While the QIB segment saw 2.05X subscription the HNI / NII segment actually got undersubscribed getting just about 42% response at the close of the IPO. The price band for the IPO was ₹135 to ₹142, and looking at the response, it remains to be seen where the IPO price will be fixed, although the experience in the past has been that it is at the same level as the anchor allocation done.

When will the basis of allotment be finalized

The first step for checking the allotment status of the IPO online is the completion of the basis of allotment of Yatra Online Ltd. The basis of allotment will be finalized late on Monday, 25th September 2023. The refunds will be initiated by the company on 26th September 2023. The demat credits are expected to happen on 27th September 2023 while the listing of the stock on the NSE and the BSE will happen on 28th September 2023. In between there is a weekend so the allotment status gets delayed by a couple of days. If you have applied for the IPO, you can check your allotment status online. You can either check your allotment status on the BSE website or the IPO registrar, Link Intime India Private Limited. Here are the steps.
