An investor has the option to apply for and receive the shares in physical form. However, it is advisable to get the allotment in Demat form as the shares in IPO shall be compulsorily tradable in Demat segment in Stock Exchanges. Dealing of physical shares (allocated in IPO) will not be accepted. In case of an IPO of any security of issue size of Rs. 10 crore or more, security shall be issued only in dematerialised form. In book built issues, for QIBs and large investors (applying for more than 1000 shares) allotment shall be only in Demat form and hence they should have a Demat account.
