IPO shares not showing in your demat account
Allotted IPO shares are credited to your demat account before listing day, usually on the credit date shown on the IPO's page. If you cannot see them, work through these checks.
First, confirm the allotment
Check the result on the registrar's website. Money debited from the bank usually means an allotment, but the registrar's result is the record. If the result says not allotted, there are no shares to credit.
Check the date and the right place
Shares arrive on or shortly before the credit date. Before listing, some broker apps do not show them in holdings until trading starts; your depository (NSDL or CDSL) statement or e-CAS shows the credit directly.
If they are late
If the listing date has arrived and the shares are not in your depository statement, contact your broker (depository participant) with the IPO name and application number. If they cannot trace it, contact the IPO's registrar, and if needed file a complaint on SEBI's SCORES portal.
