How much to apply?

If we see the recently concluded IPO’s; more than 15 lakh applicants applied for the issue and we assume that the same or even more craze prevails in Jyoti Life Insurance Limited’s IPO too. Since 10 kitta rule exists for IPO; 594,000 applicants will be lucky enough to get the 10 shares of Jyoti Life insurance.

To sum up, if the same number of applicants (or more) who applied for previous IPO’s apply for this issue then there is a high probability of getting 10 units through luck draw. So, it is advisable to apply only 10 units (minimum) in the IPO issue of Jyoti Life Insurance Limited.
