After you receive the allotment of shares in an IPO, you can trade them on the stock market from the day the company gets listed. Listing usually happens within 6 working days after the IPO closes. So, once shares are credited to your demat account and the company is listed, you can start buying or selling them like any other stock.

What Happens After IPO Allotment?

Once the IPO is closed, the company finalizes allotment within a few days. If you are allotted shares, they are credited to your demat account before the listing day. Refunds are issued if you did not get allotment. You can check the allotment status online on the registrar’s website.

When Can I Sell My IPO Shares?

You can sell your IPO shares from the day the stock gets listed on the exchange (NSE or BSE). Listing usually happens on the 6th working day after the IPO closes. On listing day, shares start trading and you can place buy/sell orders just like any other stock on Angel One.

How to Know Listing Date of an IPO?

The listing date is announced by the stock exchanges (NSE/BSE) and the company. You can check it on Angel One app, company’s IPO page, or financial news portals. Keep checking updates so you don’t miss the listing day if you plan to sell shares quickly for a profit.

Things to Keep in Mind Before Selling IPO Shares

Check listing price and market trends before selling. Sometimes, IPOs list at a premium, giving instant profits. Other times, it’s better to hold for long-term gains. Also, ensure shares are visible in your demat account before placing sell orders on Angel One platform.

Why Trading on Listing Day is Important?

Trading on listing day helps investors book profits if shares list at a good price. But prices can also fall due to market conditions. Decide based on your goal — short-term profit or long-term holding. Angel One provides live price charts, news, and expert insights to help you decide wisely.
