Checking allotment status of Inspire Films Ltd IPO

How to check the allotment status. Since this is an NSE SME IPO, there is no facility to check on the exchange website and BSE only offers allotment status for the mainboard IPOs and for BSE SME IPOs. If you have applied for the IPO, you can either check your allotment status directly on the website of the IPO registrar, Maashitla Securities Private Limited. Here are the steps that you need to follow to check allotment status.

Checking the allotment status of Inspire Films Ltd on the website of Maashitla Securities Private Ltd (Registrar to IPO)

Visit the Maashitla Securities Private Limited (IPO registrar to Inspire Films Ltd) website for IPO status by clicking on the link below:

https://maashitla.com/allotment-status/public-issues

If you are not able to click on the link above, you can directly cut the above link and paste it on your browser. That will also work. When you click on the above link, the landing page will offer you a one stop page for selecting the company and for selecting the mode of access.

This dropdown will show the active IPOs and also the IPOs that are being managed by the registrar but not yet active. However, you can access the online allotment status only after the allotment status is finalized for Inspire Films Ltd. At that point, you can go and select the company (Inspire Films Ltd) from the drop down box. The allotment status will be finalized on 03rd October 2023, so in this case, you can access the details on the registrar website either late on 03rd October 2023 or by middle of 04th October 2023. Once the company is selected from the dropdown box, you have 2 methods to check the allotment status for the IPO of Inspire Films Ltd.

• Firstly, you can query for the application status based on your mapped Income Tax PAN number. Once you select PAN (permanent account number) from the dropdown menu, enter your 10-digit PAN number, which is an alphanumeric code. The first 5 characters ad alphabets, sixth to ninth characters are numerical while the last character is once again an alphabet. The PAN number will be available on your PAN card or on top of your income tax returns filed. Once you enter the PAN, click on the Submit Button.
• Secondly, you can also search by Beneficiary ID of your demat account. You have to then enter the combination of the DP id and the Client id as one single string. Remember that the NSDL string is alphanumeric while the CDSL string is a numeric string. Just enter the combination of DP id and customer id as it is. The details of your DP and client ID are available in your online DP statement or in the statement of account. After that you can click the Submit Button in both cases.

You can follow any of the options above. The IPO status with number of shares of Inspire Films Ltd allotted will be displayed on the screen. You can save a screenshot of the screen for future reference. Once again, you can verify the demat credit by the close of 05th October 2023 or after that. It must be noted here that, in the past, Maashitla Securities Private Ltd (the registrar to the issue) was also offering the facility to query on allotment status based on application number / CAF number. That has now been discontinued and applicants in the IPO can now only query by either the Income Tax PAN number or the demat account number. The query facility by application number / CAF number is no longer available.
