Application-wise breakup and allotment chances
| Category | Lots reserved | Applications | Applied | Chance per application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| QIB | — | 34 | — | — |
| NII | 93 | 3,438 | 36.97x | 1 in 37 |
| bNII | 46 | 2,174 | 47.26x | 1 in 47 |
| sNII | 23 | 1,264 | 54.96x | 1 in 55 |
| Retail | 241 | 9,594 | 39.81x | 1 in 40 |
"All valid" means applications are fewer than the lots reserved, so every valid application should get at least one lot. When applications exceed lots, allottees are picked by computerised lottery and "1 in X" is the rough chance for one application. The real chance is usually a little better: bids below the cut-off price and invalid applications are removed before the lottery.

Allotment Chances Note
These are estimates from the latest application and subscription figures. Actual chances are usually somewhat better, because:
- Not every bid is at the cut-off price. Bids below the final issue price are rejected before the lottery, so fewer applications compete.
- Multiple-lot applications count once. In an oversubscribed retail or sNII portion, each application gets at most one minimum lot in the draw, however many lots it bid for.
- Invalid applications drop out. Unapproved UPI mandates, PAN mismatches and duplicate applications are removed before allotment.
Applying for more lots in the retail category does not improve your odds; applying from separate family accounts does.
