Polysil Irrigation Systems IPO Allotment Status

Checking the allotment status of Polysil Irrigation Systems Ltd 

How to check the allotment status. Since this is an NSE SME IPO, there is no facility to check on the exchange website. On the other hand, the BSE only offers allotment status update on its website for the mainboard IPOs and for BSE SME IPOs. If you have applied for the Polysil Irrigation Systems IPO, you can either check your allotment status on the website of the IPO registrar, Bigshare Services Private Limited; or you can use the broker link provided, in case your broker is giving such a direct linkage. Here are the steps that you need to follow to check allotment status on the registrar website of Bigshare Services Private Ltd.

Visit the Bigshare Services registrar website for IPO status by clicking on the link below:

There are three things to remember. Firstly, you can just click on the hyper link given above and directly go to the allotment checking page. The second option, in case you are not able to click on the link, is to copy the link and paste in your web browser. Thirdly, there also a way to access this page via the home page of Bigshare Services Private Ltd by clicking on the IPO Allotment Status link displayed prominently on the home page. It all works the same, and leads you to the same landing page.

Once you enter the IPO allotment check landing page of Bigshare Services Private Ltd, you are given the choice to select from 3 servers viz. Server 1, Server 2, and Server 3. There is nothing to be confused, as these are just server backups in case one of the servers is experiencing too much traffic. You can select any of these 3 servers and in case you are finding problems accessing one of the servers, then try the other one. There is no difference, which server you select; the output would still be the same. This is just a method to share the server load during peak access times.

This dropdown will only show the active IPOs, so once the allotment status is finalized, you can select Polysil Irrigation Systems Ltd   from the dropdown box. The basis of allotment will be finalized on 14th February 2024, so in this case, you can access the details on the registrar website either late on 14th February 2024 or by middle of 15th February 2024. Once the company is selected from the dropdown box, you have 3 methods to check the allotment status for the IPO.   

• Firstly, you can access the allotment status using Application Number / CAF Number. The CAF is short for Composite Application Form and it is available on the acknowledgement slip given to you when you submit the IPO application. Enter the Application / CAF number and then click on Search Button. Enter the application exactly it is given in the acknowledgement slip given to you post the IPO application process. After that you can click on the Search button to get the details of shares allotted to you in the IPO. Before you see the output, you will be asked to enter a 6-digit Captcha code as given. In case, it is not clear, you can toggle for more options. The captcha is to ensure that the person accessing the allotment status is a human being and not a robot. 

• Secondly, you can search by Beneficiary ID of your demat account. From the dropdown box, you must first select the depository name where your demat account is held i.e., NSDL or CDSL.

Quota Allocation: Why they matter to Allotment Status?

Here is a break-up of the total shares issued by the company and its quota allocated for different classes of investors. This is the key to your chances of allotment in the IPO.

In the above case, as we can see, there is no QIB allocation and hence there is also no anchor portion, which is normally carved out of the QIB portion. The oversubscription is eventually determined by the quota allocation to the retail and HNI / NII segments. Let us now turn to how the subscription numbers looked like.

Subscription Levels: why they matter to Allotment Status?

The overall IPO of Polysil Irrigation Systems Ltd got subscribed a rather subdued 6.88 times. The Retail Investor portion led the stakes with 11.62 times subscription, followed by the HNI / NII portion at 2.12 times subscription. There was no dedicated QIB allocation in this IPO. That is a very subdued and tepid response to an SME IPO, especially if you consider the median subscriptions that similar other SME IPOs have got in the past. 

The subscription has shown very limited traction for the IPO across both the categories of investors; retail and HNI / NII investors. The table below captures the overall allocation of shares with the oversubscription details as of the close of the IPO on 13th February 2024. The IPO was kept open for a period of 4 trading days.

In the above case, the subscription is quite strong for retail and HNI / NII, and that largely reduces the chances of allotment in the IPO.

Next steps in the IPO of Polysil Irrigation Systems Ltd

With the IPO closed for subscription at the end of 13th February, 2024, the next piece of action shifts to the finalization of the basis of allotment and later to the listing of the IPO. The basis of allotment will be finalized on 14th February, 2024 and the refunds will be initiated on 15th February, 2024. In addition, the demat credits are also expected to happen on 15th February, 2024 and the stock is scheduled to list on 16th February 2024 on the NSE SME segment.

This is the segment, in contrast to the mainboard, where IPOs of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are incubated. The demat credits to the demat account to the extent of allotment will happen by the close of 15th February 2024 under ISIN Number (INE517M01028).

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.
