You can save a screenshot of the screen for future reference. Once again, you can verify the demat credit by the close of 16th May 2024 with the following details viz. (ISIN - INE0R4W01015). Remember that the most important factor in assessing your chances of getting allotment is the extent of oversubscription in the IPO. Normally, higher the oversubscription in the IPO, the lower are your chances of getting an allotment. Now, let us look at the extent of oversubscription that the IPO of Piotex Industries Ltd got.

Subscription response to the Piotex Industries IPO

The response to the BSE-SME IPO of Piotex Industries Ltd was strong as the overall issue was subscribed 107.44X at the close of bidding on 14th May 2024, which is well above the median subscription that the BSE-SME IPOs have been getting in general. Out of the overall bids received, the retail segment saw 93.33 times subscription and the non-retail HNI / NII portion saw 115.21 times subscription. The table below captures the overall allocation of shares with the oversubscription details as of the close of the IPO on 14th May 2024.

The issue has been very strongly subscribed; hence your chances of allotment would proportionately reduce. Investors must keep these calculations in mind while checking the allotment status once it is finalized at the registrar end. Of course, it would eventually depend on the basis of allotment as finalized by the company and approved by exchanges.

The issue is split into retail and HNI portion with a small allocation for the market maker to the IPO. The break-down of the reservation for  different categories of investors is as under.

Next steps in the BSE-SME IPO process of Piotex Industries

The issue opened for subscription on 10th May 2024 and closed for subscription on 14th May 2024 (both days inclusive). The basis of allotment will be finalized on 15th May 2024 and the refunds will be initiated on 16th May 2024. In addition, the demat credits are expected to also happen on 16th May 2024 and the stock will list on 17th May 2024 on the BSE in the SME segment. The credits to the demat account to the extent of shares allotted will happen by the close of 16th May 2024 under ISIN (INE0R4W01015).

Investors would do well to remember that the level of subscription is very material as it determines the chances of getting allotment. Normally, higher the subscription ratio, lower the chances of allotment and vice versa. In this case, the subscription levels have been very high in the IPO; both in the Retail segment and also in the HNI / NII segment. Investors in the IPO need to assess their chances of allotment accordingly. The final status will be known once the basis of allotment is finalized and uploaded for you to check. You can apply the above allotment checking process flow after the basis of allotment is finalized.
