For LIC IPO applicants in retail, policyholder, and employee category, it would be interesting for them to know how allotment of shares will be done for various categories. As per the information available on Zerodha, the basis of share allotment will be done on draw of lots for retail category applicants whereas share allotment for policyholders and employee category applicants will be done on a proportionate basis.
Here is what draw of lots and proportionate basis of allotment mean, in retail category, share allotment will be done on the basis of draw of lots which means allottees will get lots through allotment or a minimum of 15 LIC shares if their application gets through the lucky draw. however, in the case of the policyholders and employees category, all applicants will be given at least some share(s) on a proportionate basis which means here share allotment won’t be done on the basis of lots. So, one should apply as much of lots as one can if it falls under the category of LIC policyholder and employees category. by doing this, they will be able to enhance their chances of getting more LIC shares.
