  1. DEAR SIR,
    I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE WHOLE PROCESS OF SELLING SHARES IN GREY MARKET IN DETAILS.
    PL. HELP ME.

    • Yes, you will need a demat and a bank account for this. You can avoid going to broker by applying online through ASBA.

  2. Hello
    I applied for Radio city IPO but my money still not block by ASBA. I was applied on 8th march 2017 02:00 PM This IPO would alloted me or not

  3. Have the allotment for shares being done by radio city? i did not get any…nd the money has also got transferred from gross allocation to net withdrawal balance in my dmat account? what does that mean?

  4. I applied 495 in retail category, despite RII category oversubscribed by 9 times, I have not been allotted any shares whereas my application was 11 times of the minimum lot? I do not understand how allotment process works?

    • The allotment method has been changed some time back. It is no longer based on proportional basis. Instead, the number of retail applications is divided by the number of available retail lots. So 1 out of every 9 applications gets allotment regardless of number of shares you applied for. In other words, a person who applied for 1 lot stands the same chance as a person who applied for 11 lots. Hope this helps.

  5. Listed good but I couldn’t sell in morning as I was busy in office. And price didn’t come back after that. What should i do now???
