How to check IPO allotment status by PAN (all registrars)
Updated 26 October 2026 · 4 min read
You can check IPO allotment status on the website of the issue's registrar using your PAN, your application number or your demat (DP and client) ID. The result is usually available on the evening of T+1, one working day after the issue closes. You can also check on the BSE and NSE websites and, for most investors, inside the broker app you applied through.
This guide explains where to look, what details to enter, what each status message means, and what to do when the page shows something unexpected.
First, find out who the registrar is
Every IPO appoints a registrar to the issue, which processes the applications and runs the allotment. The name is in the RHP and on the IPO page here. Our allotment status page lists every registrar, and each IPO page has a direct allotment link to the right one, so you do not need to search.
| Registrar | Search options usually offered |
|---|---|
| KFin Technologies | PAN, application number, DP/client ID |
| MUFG Intime India (formerly Link Intime) | PAN, application number, DP/client ID |
| Bigshare Services | PAN, application number, beneficiary ID |
| Skyline Financial Services | PAN, application number, DP/client ID |
| Cameo Corporate Services | PAN, application number, DP/client ID |
| Maashitla Securities | PAN, application number, DP/client ID |
| Purva Sharegistry | PAN, application number, DP/client ID |
Search options and page layouts change from time to time. All registrar sites use a captcha.
Checking on the registrar's website
- Open the registrar's IPO allotment page from the IPO page or our allotment status page.
- Choose the IPO from the drop-down list. New issues are added around the time allotment is finalised, so if it is missing, try again later in the evening.
- Pick the search type: PAN is the simplest, because it does not depend on which broker you used.
- Enter the PAN in capital letters, fill in the captcha, and submit.
- Read the result: the number of shares applied for, the number allotted, and sometimes a reason if the bid was rejected.
If you search by application number, use the number shown in your broker's IPO order book or the ASBA acknowledgement from your bank. For DP/client ID, NSDL accounts use a 16-character ID starting with "IN"; CDSL accounts use a 16-digit number.
Checking on BSE, NSE and your broker app
- BSE has an "application status" page for public issues: select equity, choose the issue, and enter your application number and PAN.
- NSE offers a bid verification and allotment status page; it may ask you to sign in or verify with your PAN and an OTP before showing the result.
- Most broker apps show the allotment result in the IPO order history once the registrar file is published, sometimes a few hours later than the registrar's own site.
- Your demat account and bank are the final word: shares credited on T+2, or a released block, confirm the outcome.
What each status message means
| Message | What it means | What happens to your money |
|---|---|---|
| Allotted / shares allotted: 142 | You received that many shares | Only the amount for allotted shares is debited |
| Not allotted / allotted: 0 | Valid bid, not picked in the lottery | The full block is released by T+2 |
| Rejected (with a reason) | The bid failed a technical check, such as a duplicate PAN or mismatched details | Nothing is debited; the block is released |
| No record found / PAN not found | No valid bid with these details reached the registrar | Usually nothing was blocked, or it is released |
| Allotment not yet finalised | The registrar has not uploaded results for this issue | Still blocked; check again later |
"No record found" is the message that worries people most. The usual causes are a UPI mandate that was never approved, a typo in the PAN, the wrong IPO picked from the list, or checking before the registrar has uploaded the full file. Check the mandate history in your UPI app and your broker's order book before assuming a problem.
Common mistakes when checking
- Choosing a similar-sounding IPO from the drop-down, especially when a mainboard and an SME issue close the same week.
- Typing the PAN in lower case or with a space; enter all ten characters exactly as on the card.
- Searching with a family member's PAN while expecting your own result.
- Mistyping the captcha repeatedly; refresh it if it is hard to read rather than guessing.
- Panicking at a slow site on T+1 evening. Registrar sites get very busy after a popular IPO; trying again an hour later usually works.
One-tap checks for the whole family
If several family members applied, checking each PAN on a registrar site gets tedious. Tap "＋ I applied" on the IPO page to add it to My IPOs, add each person who applied, and use the one-tap allotment check. The PANs are saved only on your own device, not on our servers. Once you mark the result, My IPOs follows listing and shows the gain for each person after the shares list.
Frequently asked questions
When is IPO allotment status available?
Usually on the evening of T+1, the first working day after the issue closes. Some registrars upload it late at night, so check again the next morning if it is not there yet.
Can I check allotment without my application number?
Yes. Every registrar lets you search by PAN, which is the easiest option. DP/client ID also works on most sites.
My broker app says "allotted" but the registrar says nothing. Which is right?
The registrar's record is the source. Broker apps copy the registrar data, so a mismatch is usually a timing difference. Your demat holdings on T+2 settle the question.
Why does the registrar show "PAN not found" when I applied?
Most often the UPI mandate was not approved before the deadline, so the bid never became valid. A typo, the wrong IPO in the list, or checking too early are the other common causes.
Will I get an SMS about allotment?
Often, yes. The depository sends an SMS when shares are credited, and banks send one when the block is released or the amount is debited. Do not rely on SMS alone; check the registrar.
