Once you have successfully submitted your application, you need to wait for the issue to close. In the next few days, the allotments will be finalised. These days, most IPOs get heavily oversubscribed. So, when allotments are getting finalised, you can keep your fingers crossed and hope and pray that you get the allotment. If you get the allotment, they will debit your bank account for the number of shares allotted to you and credit your demat account with the shares. On the day of listing, if the share lists at a heavy premium, you can decide whether to book partial or full profits or continue holding for the long term.
