google helped me :)
IPO allotment is always done on proportionate basis in the retail category.
Consider this example.
Suppose there is an IPO of 1000 shares. (Retail category has 1000 shares).
Lot sizes in retail category are 10, 20 and 30.
Total applications for 10 shares = 300 = 3000 shares.
Total applications for 20 shares = 100 = 2000 shares.
Total applications for 30 shares = 500 = 15000 shares.
Total subscription = 20000 shares = 20 times available shares.
Now the company will allot shares in each "lot size" in equal proportion.
10 share applications add up to 3000 shares, so they will get 150 shares.
20 share applications add up to 2000 shares, so they will get 100 shares.
30 share applications add up to 15000 shares, so they will get 750 shares.
=================================================
Usually allotment is done in lots of minimum application size. In this case it will be 10 shares.
Now, for those who applied for 10 shares, only 15 people will get 10 shares each. (15 X 10 = 150)
Now, for those who applied for 20 shares, only 10 people will get 10 shares each. (10 X 00 = 100)
Now, for those who applied for 30 shares, only 75 people will get 10 shares each. (75 X 10 = 750)
=================================================
If you look at the probabilities, you will notice that those who applied for more shares, have a greater probability of allotment.
For 10 share applications, 15 people out of 300 got 10 shares => Probability of getting 10 shares = 1 in 20.
For 20 share applications, 10 people out of 100 got 10 shares => Probability of getting 10 shares = 1 in 10.
For 30 share applications, 75 people out of 500 got 10 shares => Probability of getting 10 shares = 1 in 6.67.
Conclusion - more shares you apply for, more is the chance of getting shares. Chance doesn't mean 100% certainty. It is just probability.
