Demand and your odds
How the book filled, and what that means for an application
Retail is 12.86× subscribed. Allotment is a lottery on a single lot, so roughly 1 in 12.9 applications gets one lot. Bidding for extra lots does not improve these odds.
HNI is 73.61× subscribed. This category is allotted proportionately, so a bid receives roughly 1/73.6 of the shares applied for, subject to the minimum-lot draw.
Derived from SEBI's allotment mechanics and the subscription figures beside it. Retail allotment is a lottery on a single lot, so applying for more lots does not improve your chance of getting something.

What is the minimum investment in the Symbiotec Pharmalab Limited IPO?
One lot is 15 shares, so a retail application at the ₹988 cut-off price blocks ₹14,820. Retail applications are capped at ₹2,00,000; above that you bid in the HNI category, where allotment is proportionate rather than by lottery.

The retail portion is subscribed 12.86×, so allotment is by lottery and the odds of receiving at least one lot are roughly 1 in 13. Applying for more lots does not improve the chance of getting something — every retail applicant competes for the same single minimum lot.
When is the Symbiotec Pharmalab Limited IPO allotment date?
Allotment is scheduled for 2026-08-28, with listing on 2026-09-01. These dates are the issuer's tentative timetable — a date passing is not confirmation that the step completed. Allotment status is published by the registrar, LINK.
