Allotment, refund and listing dates

Under the T+3 timeline, allotment comes one working day after the close, refunds and share credit two working days after, and listing three working days after. Our holiday list has Tuesday, 20 October 2026 as an NSE holiday, so it is skipped for every issue that closes between 15 and 19 October. HD Fire Protect Limited and Vaibhav Vyapaar Limited closed on Thursday, 15 October, and Fusion CX Limited and Ravita Engineering Services Limited closed on Friday, 16 October.

The Vaibhav Vyapaar IPO post and the Ravita Engineering IPO post cover those two SME issues from their opening dates. The diagram below follows the Jio Platforms dates as an example of the sequence.

How we calculated this

The IPO rows come from the TrackLivePrice IPO table, which stores NSE issue data, as it stood at 15:50 IST on 18 October 2026. Working days use the NSE holiday list in our database. Allotment is the close plus one working day, refund the close plus two, and listing the close plus three. Minimum amount is the lot size multiplied by the upper price band. The dates are calculated, not confirmed exchange notices, and the exchange notice governs.

Checklist before the dates

  • Check the lot size, price band and bidding dates in the red herring prospectus and the NSE issue page.
  • Count listing in working days, not calendar days, and check the NSE holiday list for 20 October 2026.
  • Compare the minimum amount with the retail limit of Rs 2,00,000 per IPO before you bid.
  • Read the exchange notice for the confirmed allotment and listing dates, since a calculated date can differ.
