How to Check IPO Allotment Status Online with PAN Card (2026 Guide)
Checking your IPO allotment status online using your Permanent Account Number (PAN) is the fastest and most reliable verification method. Here is the verified 2026 step-by-step tutorial covering all major registrars (Link Intime, KFintech, Bigshare, Skyline) and stock exchange portals (BSE & NSE).
Quick Links to Official Registrar Allotment Portals
Choose the official registrar handling your specific IPO to check allotment via PAN:
Step-by-Step Registrar Guides
Checking Allotment on Link Intime with PAN
- Visit the official Link Intime Public Issues portal.
- In the 'Company' dropdown menu, choose the name of the IPO you applied for (e.g., Tata Technologies, Bajaj Housing, etc.). If the company is not in the list, the basis of allotment has not been finalized yet.
- Under 'Selection Mode', click the radio button labeled 'PAN'.
- Enter your valid 10-character alphanumeric PAN (e.g.,
ABCDE1234F). - Click 'Submit'. The table will display: Total Shares Applied, Cut-off Price, and Total Shares Allotted (0 if unallotted).
Checking Allotment on KFintech Kosmic with PAN
- Open the KFintech IPO Status page (they offer 5 mirror servers to prevent server crashes during high-traffic issues).
- Click on any working link (Link 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5).
- Select the IPO name from the active issues dropdown.
- Select the 'PAN' query parameter.
- Enter your 10-digit PAN and solve the 6-digit numeric captcha.
- Click 'Submit' to view your allotment status.
Checking Allotment on the BSE India Official Portal
The BSE website is the most robust backup if registrar servers are crashing due to excessive traffic:
- Navigate to
bseindia.com/investors/appli_check.aspx. - Under 'Issue Type', select 'Equity'.
- Select the Issue Name from the dropdown menu.
- Enter your PAN number (and/or Application Number if prompted).
- Tick the 'I am not a robot' reCAPTCHA box and click 'Search'.
The Fastest Method: Bank Mandate & SMS Clues
Registrar websites often crash or take until midnight to update. However, your bank and depository send notifications hours before registrar portals refresh:
Bank Debit SMS = Allotted
If your bank sends an SMS stating: 'Rs. XX,XXX has been debited towards IPO mandate', you have secured full allotment!
Mandate Revoked = Not Allotted
If you receive a notification on Google Pay, PhonePe, or SMS that the lien on your funds has been released/canceled, you did not get an allotment.
CDSL / NSDL Credit Alert
Around 11:00 PM on allotment day or the morning after, depositories send an SMS confirming that shares with a specific ISIN were credited to your Demat.
Troubleshooting Common Allotment Errors
1. 'Record Not Found' Error
This is the most common issue. In 90% of cases, it does not mean your application was rejected; it simply means the registrar is still processing the basis of allotment with the stock exchange and has not yet synced data to the public database. Check again after 9:30 PM.
2. Third-Party UPI Application Disqualification
If your bank PAN does not match your Demat account PAN (for example, applying in your brother's or parent's name using your personal bank account), SEBI regulations require registrars to automatically disqualify the application during the technical audit phase.
3. Unblock Delay Past Allotment Date
If your bid was unsuccessful but funds remain blocked past T+1 day, contact your bank's nodal grievance officer with your application number and UPI mandate transaction ID. Banks are legally required to unblock liens promptly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I check IPO allotment status online using my PAN Card?
To check allotment status with your PAN card: 1) Visit the official registrar website (e.g., Link Intime or KFintech) or the BSE Allotment page; 2) Select the IPO company from the drop-down list; 3) Select "PAN" as the query mode; 4) Enter your 10-character alphanumeric PAN number; 5) Solve the captcha and click "Submit". The system displays the shares applied for and shares allotted.
Why does the registrar website show "Record Not Found" for my PAN?
"Record Not Found" usually means the registrar has not yet finalized and uploaded the basis of allotment to their public web servers. Allotments are typically published late in the evening (between 8:00 PM and midnight) on the scheduled allotment date. Alternatively, verify that your 10-digit PAN number was entered without spaces or typos.
How do I know if I got the IPO allotment before the website updates?
The fastest confirmation comes via your bank: 1) If you receive a bank debit SMS for the lien amount (e.g. ₹14,850 debited for IPO), your allotment is 100% confirmed; 2) If you receive a lien release / mandate revocation SMS or notice on GPay/PhonePe, your application was not allotted; 3) CDSL/NSDL sends an ISIN credit alert via SMS when shares are deposited into your Demat account.
What is the BSE IPO allotment status check link?
The official BSE allotment status page is hosted at: https://www.bseindia.com/investors/appli_check.aspx. Select "Equity", choose the IPO issue name, enter your Application Number or PAN Number, complete the reCAPTCHA, and click Search.
When will unallotted money be refunded after IPO allotment?
Under SEBI T+3 listing regulations, funds blocked via ASBA or UPI must be unblocked by sponsor banks on T+1 day (the business day following allotment finalization). If your bank has not released the lien hold within 48 hours of allotment, register a complaint with your broker or registrar.
Can I check allotment status using Application Number or Demat Client ID?
Yes. Most registrars (Link Intime, KFintech, Bigshare) support three search modes: 1) PAN Number (easiest), 2) Application Number (found in your broker order book or ASBA slip), and 3) DP/Client ID (16-digit Demat account number with CDSL or NSDL).
