How to Check IPO Subscription Status in 2026

IPO subscription data is one of the most watched metrics during an active subscription window. Here's how to read it correctly.


Where to Check

Fastest: CheckIPO's [subscription page](/subscription) — aggregated data updated in real-time during subscription days.

Official sources:

  • BSE: published at 12 PM and 5 PM IST daily
  • NSE: similar timing, separate portal

Understanding the Categories

CategoryWhoMinimum Allotment
QIBMutual funds, FIIs, banks, insurance companiesProportional
NII (HNI)Non-institutional investors (≥₹2L application)Proportional
RIIRetail individual investors (≤₹2L)Lottery-based
EmployeeCompany employeesProportional

What Oversubscription Means for You

Retail (RII) category:

  • Up to 1x: Everyone gets allotment
  • 1x–2x: Almost everyone gets 1 lot
  • Above 2x: Lottery — minimum 1 lot per winner
  • Very high (100x+): Very few winners in lottery

NII category:

  • Proportional allotment — higher bids = more shares but proportional to subscription

Day-by-Day Pattern

Most institutional subscription (QIB) comes on Day 3 (last day). Don't panic if QIB is low on Day 1 — institutional investors typically wait until the last day.

Strong signal: QIB fully subscribed by Day 2.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check IPO subscription status live?

BSE and NSE publish subscription data twice daily at 12 PM and 5 PM IST. CheckIPO's subscription page aggregates this data with live updates.

What does 100x subscription mean?

A 100x subscription means the IPO received bids for 100 times the shares on offer. This reduces allotment probability for retail (RII) investors significantly.

Which category subscription matters most?

QIB (Qualified Institutional Buyers) subscription is considered the strongest signal. High QIB demand reflects institutional confidence in the company.

What is the minimum subscription needed for allotment?

An IPO must achieve at least 90% overall subscription to proceed with allotment. Most successful IPOs are oversubscribed many times over.
