A purchase request to the brokerage is known as a pre-booking. Sridhar added that on the day the offer goes live on the exchange, the brokerage will buy allotments on behalf of all the requests it has received from investors.
“Because we won’t be collecting money during the pre-order, it’s not the same as booking a slot ahead of market hours,” he explained, adding that depending on the size, demand, and premium of the IPO, a request made through the feature may or may not turn into an allocation.
Investors will have to clear a payment request on their Unified Payments Interface (UPI) app within 24 hours of receiving an allocation using the new functionality.
Over the last few months, there has been a boom in interest in IPOs, and we have observed examples where customers have been unable to apply due to difficulties such as tight timelines during market hours and demand-driven processing delays in the markets.
For the forthcoming Zomato IPO on July 14-16, the functionality will first be available on the Paytm Money app.
