IPO investments can lose money, including on listing day. Read the [red herring prospectus](https://www.sebi.gov.in/sebi_data/attachdocs/oct-2026/1792045029108.pdf) before you bid, and speak to a SEBI-registered adviser if you need personal advice.

## What the numbers mean for your allotment chances

<div data-callout="jargon" data-title="Times subscribed">

**Times subscribed** = shares bid for / shares on offer. **1.00x** means bids exactly match the shares available. Below 1x, everyone who bid validly gets what they asked for. Above 1x, there are not enough shares to go round, and the rules below decide who gets what.

</div>

**Retail (up to INR 2 lakh).** The RHP says each retail allottee gets at least one lot (12 shares), subject to availability. There are about **70,86,443 lots** in the retail portion (8,50,37,327 / 12, our calculation). So:

- If retail ends **below 1x**, every valid bid gets its full allocation.
- If retail ends **above 1x** but fewer than about 70.86 lakh people apply, everyone gets at least one lot and the rest is shared out in proportion.
- If **more than about 70.86 lakh** people apply, a computerised lottery picks who gets one lot. Bidding for more lots does not improve your odds; applying from different family members' PANs and demat accounts does, legally.

**Small NII (INR 2-10 lakh) and big NII (above INR 10 lakh).** Each successful NII gets at least the minimum NII bid of 15 lots (180 shares) at the cap, even in the big NII bucket. There is room for about **67,490** minimum allotments in small NII and about **1,34,979** in big NII (our calculation). Beyond that, it is a lottery for 180 shares. Details: [HNI quota explained](/articles/ipo/jio-ipo-hni-nii-quota).

**RIL shareholders and employees.** These portions are allotted proportionately, not by lottery, subject to the minimum lot. If the RIL shareholder portion ends at, say, 2x, a shareholder would get roughly half of what they bid, rounded to lots. See [how to bid in both the shareholder and retail quotas](/articles/ipo/apply-jio-ipo-shareholder-and-retail-quota).

**Unsubscribed shares move.** Under the RHP, unsubscribed shareholder or employee shares go first to each other, then to retail and NII in a 70:30 ratio. Unsubscribed NII shares can go to retail and then QIB, and unsubscribed retail shares to NII and then QIB. QIB shares cannot move to other categories.

## How to read live subscription data

- **Use the exchanges first.** NSE's current issues page (symbol **JPL**) and BSE's public issue page show bids by category with a time stamp. Aggregator websites copy these numbers, sometimes late or with rounding.
- **Check the time stamp.** A figure at 10 am and one at 7 pm on the same day can differ a lot.
- **Excluding anchors matters.** Some sites show QIB including anchors, which makes it look smaller.
- **Bids are not allotment.** Bids can be rejected later for things like PAN mismatches or failed UPI mandates.
- **Subscription is not a valuation.** Heavy demand tells you about appetite at INR 1,119, not what the shares are worth. See the [brokerage views](/articles/ipo/jio-ipo-review) and [risk factors](/articles/ipo/jio-ipo-risk-factors).
