How much to apply?

When we observe the current scenario, investors have still shown a high level of confidence in IPO despite declining NEPSE, which is shown by the huge demand in the recently concluded IPO. 

When we look at the current trend of IPO in the market, we see that more than 20 lakhs of investors have been applying in the recent issue. This shows that, even if a quarter of this number applied for the issue of Dordi Khola Jal Bidyut Company Ltd, the issue will be oversubscribed. Since the "10 kitta rule" still holds true for IPO; 2,19,550 applicants will be lucky enough to get the 10 unit shares of Dordi Khola Jal Bidyut Company Ltd. So, it is advisable to apply only 10 units.
