Effwa Infra and Reseach IPO Allotment Status

How to check Effwa Infra IPO allotment Status 

How to check IPO allotment status. Since this is an NSE-SME IPO, you cannot check the allotment status on the BSE website. You can only check on the registrar website. Remember, the BSE only offers allotment status update on its website for mainboard IPOs and for NSE SME IPOs.

If you have applied for the IPO, you can either check your allotment status on the NSE website (being an NSE-SME IPO) after logging in or on the website of the IPO registrar, Bigshare Services Private Limited. You can also use a broker link; in case your broker is giving such a direct linkage. Here are the steps that you need to follow to check allotment status. Let us see how to check allotment status on the Registrar Website.

Checking the Effwa Infra IPO allotment status on the website of Bigshare Services 

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

https://www.bigshareonline.com/ipo_Allotment.html

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.

What to do, once you reach the landing page?

When you go to the landing page, you will have to select the name of the company first. This company dropdown list will only show the active IPOs, so once the allotment status is finalized, you can select Effwa Infra and Research from the dropdown box. The basis of allotment in this case will be finalized on 10th July 2024, so you will be able to access the details on the registrar website either late on 10th July 2024 or by middle of 11th July 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 numeric captcha is to ensure that the person accessing the allotment status is a human being and not a bulk robotic access. 

• The second option is that 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. In the case of NSDL, enter the DP id and Client id in separate boxes as provided. NSDL will be an alphanumeric code. In case of CDSL, just enter the CDSL client number. Remember that the NSDL string is alphanumeric while the CDSL string is a numeric string.

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 Search Button in both cases. Before you see the output, you will be asked to enter a 6-digit numeric 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.

• Thirdly, you can also search by 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. Remember, in a PAN, the first to fifth and the tenth character are alphabets while the sixth to ninth character are numeric characters. 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 Search Button. Once again, before you see the output, you will be asked to enter a 6-digit numeric Captcha code as given. In case, if it is not clear, you can toggle for more options.

IPO allocation and subscriptions: why they matter to allotment status

The table below captures the break-up of the overall share allocation to QIBs, retail investors and to the HNI / NII investors. The anchor allotment is carved out of the QIB quota and the QIB quota is reduced accordingly. The market maker allocation is the inventory that will be used by the market maker to provide liquidity in the counter post listing, to keep the bid-ask spreads low and reduce the risks of trading in the stock. The company has appointed Rikhav Securities Ltd as the market maker and assigned a market making inventory of 3,24,800 shares to them. The market maker will use this inventory to offer buy and sell quotes to keep the counter liquid and reduce the basis risk on the stock post listing.

This included the par value of ₹10 per share and premium of ₹72 per share. The total size of the anchor allocation was ₹14.34 crore.
