• Zerodha did not offer pre-IPO orders initially due to regulatory clarity concerns. Although the regulations do not specifically define pre-IPO applications, there is an understanding from regulators and exchanges that brokers are permitted to collect pre-IPO orders.
• The pre-apply window opens one day before the IPO, offering convenience for early applications. However, the chances of allotment remain the same regardless of when the IPO is applied for.
• This option is not available for SME IPOs.
• The pre-apply option will be available from one day prior to the IPO launch until 10:00 on the issue open date. Afterwards, the regular apply option will be available.
