IPO application status: how to check your bid went through
Placing an IPO bid in your broker app is only the first step. Until the mandate is approved and the money is blocked, the application isn't complete. Here is how to confirm it.
1. Broker app order status
Your broker's IPO orders page shows the bid's status. Statuses like submitted or pending mean the mandate hasn't been confirmed yet; something like mandate accepted or bid confirmed means it is in.
2. UPI mandate approved
Open your UPI app and approve the IPO mandate request. It must be approved before the cut-off on the closing day, or the bid is not valid. The guide on IPO UPI mandates covers problems with it.
3. Money blocked
Once approved, your bank blocks the bid amount. You usually get an SMS, and the balance shows it as blocked or on hold. No block means no valid application.
4. Exchange record
NSE's and BSE's bid verification pages show bids registered with the exchange, if you want a check outside your broker.
Record it
Once it's confirmed, record the application in IPO Khata, with the person, IPO and amount. It then tracks the blocked money and checks the allotment for you.
