Why is the cut-off price higher for retail OFS orders?

 

  • During an Offer For Sale (OFS) issue, orders are collected over two days. Institutional and HNI orders (bids above ₹2 lacs) are accepted on the first day, while all retail bids are taken on the second day. A cut-off price is determined for the second day based on the bids received on the first day, and this becomes the floor price for retail bids.

  • The cut-off price for retail bids may be the same as the institutional bids if there is a low demand for the OFS, but if there is strong institutional demand, the cut-off price for retail bids may be significantly higher. Bids from individuals and HUFs worth less than ₹2 lacs are considered retail bids.
