IPO Application Deadline Countdown

A live countdown to an open IPO's bid-submission deadline, so you don't apply — or approve your UPI mandate — at the last minute. Pick an IPO to auto-fill its closing date, or enter one manually.

Time Remaining

—

Pick an IPO or enter a closing date to start the countdown.

QIB and NII/HNI bidding windows often close earlier (around 4:00 PM on Day 1/2 for some issues, or with tighter final-day cutoffs) — this countdown targets the standard retail bid-submission deadline. Always confirm the exact time with your broker.

How the IPO Application Deadline Countdown works

Retail bid submission for an IPO is due by 4:00 PM IST on the issue's closing day. This countdown targets that deadline. It's a separate, earlier cutoff from the UPI mandate approval deadline (5:00 PM IST) the same day — see the UPI Mandate Calculator for that one specifically.

QIB and NII/HNI investor categories sometimes face earlier internal bidding-window cutoffs on the final day, and individual brokers frequently set their own earlier cut-off (often an hour or more before the official SEBI deadline) to leave processing buffer — so treat this countdown as the outer limit, not a target to cut it close to.

Frequently Asked Questions

What time does IPO bidding actually close?

Retail bid submission is due by 4:00 PM IST on the issue's closing day. UPI mandate approval has a separate, later deadline of 5:00 PM IST the same day.

Why does my broker's app show an earlier cutoff than 4:00 PM?

Many brokers set their own internal cut-off ahead of the official 4:00 PM SEBI deadline to leave buffer for processing and to avoid last-minute technical issues — always follow your specific broker's stated cutoff, not just the regulatory one.

Does this countdown work for SME IPOs too?

Yes — pick any IPO in the search, mainboard or SME, or enter its closing date manually. The 4:00 PM retail bid-submission convention applies to both.

What if the IPO I'm tracking isn't in the picker?

Enter its closing date manually in the date field — the countdown works identically whether the date came from the picker or was typed by hand.

Does approving my UPI mandate count as submitting my bid?

No — bid submission (through your broker/ASBA) and UPI mandate approval are two separate steps with two separate deadlines the same day. Submitting your bid without approving the mandate in time means your application won't be considered.
