What is OFS (Offer for Sale)?
An OFS (Offer for Sale) is a simplified method for promoters and large shareholders (including the Government of India) to sell their existing shares in listed companies to the public through the stock exchange platform. Unlike an IPO, an OFS does not involve creating new shares — existing shares simply change hands.
SEBI introduced the OFS mechanism in 2012 to facilitate promoter stake reduction and government disinvestment without the lengthy IPO process. The mechanism is faster (2 days vs months for IPO) and cheaper.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to apply for OFS as a retail investor?
Log into your broker's trading platform on T+1 day. Place a buy order for the company's shares at or above the floor price. Retail investors often receive a 5% discount on the final cut-off price determined after institutional bidding.
What is the floor price in OFS?
The floor price is the minimum price at which shares can be sold in an OFS. It is set by the seller and disclosed one day before the offer opens. Retail investors can bid at or above the floor price.
Is there a minimum investment in OFS?
No minimum lot size. You can apply for as little as 1 share. However, most investors apply for at least ₹10,000-25,000 worth to make brokerage costs worthwhile.
What happens if OFS is oversubscribed?
If an OFS is oversubscribed (more demand than shares available), allotment is done on a proportional or lottery basis. Unallotted application money is refunded.
