Frequently Asked Questions

No. IPO Trending is an independent tracking and educational portal. We do not provide SEBI-mandated stock recommendations, investment advice, trade routing, or direct brokerage services. All information, technical ratings, and GMP signals presented are for educational purposes and market sentiment analysis only.

No, we never collect or store your Demat passwords, transaction statements, or personal banking credentials. If you choose to link your PAN or Demat details for our automated allotment checker, they remain isolated on your local device or encrypted databases solely for registrar querying purposes.

Grey Market Premium (GMP) is the premium price at which an IPO is traded in the unofficial, over-the-counter grey market before listing on BSE/NSE. It represents speculative investor sentiment and can be volatile.

Since the grey market is unregulated, GMP changes dynamically based on real-time factors including exchange subscription multipliers, market demand, general index sentiment, size of the offer, and broader market liquidity.

No, applying for IPOs based solely on GMP is risky. GMP is unofficial, highly speculative, and not guaranteed. You should carefully review the Red Herring Prospectus (RHP), company financial metrics, debt structure, valuation multiples, and consult qualified advisors.

You can use our Instant Allotment Checker page. Enter your PAN number or Application Number, select the registrar (e.g. Link Intime, KFintech), and click 'Check Status' to get real-time query results.

Registrar status servers update late in the evening or the day after the allotment date. If your status doesn't show, it means the registrar has not finalized the database upload yet. Please double-check your PAN details, verify the correct registrar name, or try again later.
