IPO Registrar & RTA Performance Tracker

An IPO registrar, also called a Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA), is a SEBI-registered entity that processes IPO applications, conducts the allotment lottery, and manages refunds. Every IPO must appoint a SEBI-registered registrar.

KFin Technologies and Link Intime India (now MUFG Intime) are the two largest IPO registrars in India by number of IPOs managed. Together they handle the majority of mainboard IPOs. Bigshare Services is a leading registrar for SME IPOs.

You can check IPO allotment status on the registrar's website using your PAN card number or application number. Use our Allotment Checker tool which automatically detects the registrar for any IPO.

No — the allotment lottery is a SEBI-mandated random process and is not influenced by the registrar. All eligible applications have equal probability of allotment for a given category.

Registrar errors are rare and subject to SEBI oversight. Investors can file complaints on SCORES (SEBI Complaints Redress System) if they believe there was an error. The registrar must resolve complaints within 30 days.

Under SEBI's T+6 settlement cycle, allotment happens 6 days after the IPO closes. Shares are credited to your demat account and refunds are processed on the same day (T+6).
