Understanding this process is crucial for anyone interested in investing in an <a href=\"https:\/\/navia.co.in\/ipo-account\">SME IPO<\/a>. This article will break down the process for both <strong>retail<\/strong> and <strong>non-retail investors<\/strong> and provide examples to clarify how shares are allocated.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6ad26cb25b1e796cc952808e4e7a9806\" id=\"what-is-the-sme-ipo-allotment-process\" style=\"color:#2776a3\"><strong>What is the SME IPO Allotment Process?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When an SME company issues an Initial Public Offering (IPO), the allotment of shares is done based on a document called the <strong>Basis of Allotment (BOA)<\/strong>. This document, prepared by the IPO registrar, provides details on how shares will be distributed among different categories of investors, including <strong>Retail Individual Investors (RIIs)<\/strong> and <strong>Non-Institutional Investors (NIIs)<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For an SME IPO to be successfully listed on the SME exchange, a minimum of <strong>50 applicants<\/strong> is required. The process of allotment begins after the closure of the IPO and follows the rules set by <a href=\"https:\/\/navia.co.in\/blog\/sebis-new-rules-for-index-derivatives\/\">SEBI<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ffd8590e745659112633b81e34129f26\" id=\"step-by-step-sme-ipo-allotment-process\" style=\"color:#2776a3\"><strong>Step-by-Step SME IPO Allotment Process<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-223095bef6e955b2d167d4996b2d4df5\" id=\"1-minimum-allotment-requirement\" style=\"color:#ec4d37\">1. <strong>Minimum Allotment Requirement<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to SEBI guidelines, each applicant must receive at least <strong>one trading lot<\/strong>. For example, if an SME company issues <strong>50,00,000 shares<\/strong>, and the <strong>lot size<\/strong> is <strong>2000 shares<\/strong>, the maximum number of allottees who will receive one lot is:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25cf <strong>50,00,000 shares \/ 2000 shares per lot = 2500 applicants<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, <strong>2500 investors<\/strong> will be allotted at least one lot each.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9e0216a1388461eee8d5464b9ceaa4a0\" id=\"2-retail-individual-investors-rii-allotment\" style=\"color:#ec4d37\">2. <strong>Retail Individual Investors (RII) Allotment<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Retail investors who bid for shares worth up to \u20b92 lakhs fall under this category.
