Price band, cut-off price aur discovery ka process
Published by The Retail Trader · AUG 05, 2026 · Market Basics
Har IPO ek hi tarike se price tay nahi karta. Kuch issues mein price pehle se likha hota hai, aur kuch mein wo applications se banta hai. Dono mein aapka apply karne ka tarika bhi alag hota hai.
Fixed price issue mein company ek hi price bata deti hai aur sab usi par apply karte hain. Demand ka pata sirf issue band hone ke baad chalta hai.
Book building mein ek price band hota hai, jaise floor aur cap. Investors band ke andar bid dete hain, aur final price un bids se tay hota hai. Isi ko price discovery kehte hain.
Retail ko ek extra option milta hai jise cut-off kehte hain:
• Cut-off ka matlab hai ki jo bhi final price ho, aap usi par lene ko taiyaar ho.
• Isse aapki bid price band ke bahar rehne ki wajah se reject nahi hoti.
• Application amount upper band par block hoti hai, aur farq baad mein release ho jaata hai.
• Ye sirf retail category ke liye hota hai.
Price band ko valuation ka certificate mat samjho. Band company aur uske bankers tay karte hain, market nahi — market ka faisla listing ke baad wale hafte mein dikhta hai, red herring prospectus mein nahi.
