How many kitta should I apply for?

Most beginners apply the minimum (often 10 kitta) since oversubscription means nearly everyone gets the minimum or nothing.

IPO Allotment and Listing in Nepal: How It Really Works

Oversubscribed IPOs in Nepal allot shares by lottery, so applying does not guarantee shares. Understanding the flow prevents disappointment and mistakes.

After allotment, shares list on NEPSE where the market - not the company - decides the price from the first trading day.

1. Apply correctly in MeroShare: Apply during the issue window with the right CRN/bank, correct kitta, and sufficient balance. One verified application per person - duplicates get rejected.
2. Wait for the lottery: The issue manager processes applications and runs allotment. Timelines vary per issue; follow the official notice, not social media rumours.
3. Check results officially: Check allotment in MeroShare and official result channels only. Screenshots of 'confirmed allotment' in groups are often fake.
4. Understand listing: After listing approval, the scrip starts trading on NEPSE within its price band. Listing-day prices can rise or fall - there is no guaranteed profit.
5. Decide hold vs sell calmly: Allotted 10 kitta rarely changes a life. Decide based on the company's business and your goals, not listing-day excitement.
