What is an invalid IPO application?

An application becomes invalid if:

  • The bid price is outside the IPO price band.

  • Shares are applied for in less than 1 lot or not in multiples of the lot size.

  • Insufficient balance in the account for fund blocking.

  • Incorrect / mismatched PAN, Demat, or UPI details.

  • Multiple applications from the same PAN in the same category.

  • The UPI mandate is not approved before the deadline.
