That’s exactly what happened with HDB Financial Services' blockbuster IPO. The issue saw the Qualified Institutional Buyer (QIB) quota getting oversubscribed 55.47 times, and the total IPO being oversubscribed by 16.9 times!
Interestingly, pre-IPO investors had picked up HDB shares at ₹1,550 last year. Today, the price band for the IPO is ₹700–₹740 per share, which is nearly half of the earlier price.
Still, investors were willing to pay almost double the IPO price in the grey market, clearly signaling strong demand. So, how much was subscribed, what are your allotment odds, and what’s the GMP now?

The HDB Financial IPO, which opened for subscription from June 25 to 27, aimed to raise ₹12,500 crore. But the response went through the roof — the IPO attracted bids worth ₹1.52 lakh crore, which is 16x the issue size.
To put this in simple terms:
Details | Figures |
Total Shares Offered | 13 crore |
Total Shares Bid for | 218 crore |
Total Value of Bids | ₹1.52 lakh crore |
In the retail quota, the IPO was subscribed 1.5 times, which means that while one lot per applicant is guaranteed, the rest will be distributed through a lottery system. Here’s the math simplified:
That’s less than 1x, meaning almost everyone applying in retail quota will likely get at least 1 lot. If you applied for multiple lots, the chances of getting more than one are still slim and decided by lucky draw.
The Small HNI (High Net-worth Individual) category allows applications up to 14 lots.
This implies that only around 16% of small HNI applicants will receive allotment in this category.
The Big HNI quota saw a 12x subscription rate. However, allotment here works differently. Unlike the lottery system in retail, this category sees proportionate allotment.
So, if you’re a big-ticket investor, your chances are better — around 40% may see allotment.
This quota is reserved for those who already own shares of HDFC Bank or HDFC Group companies.
What does “proportionate lottery” mean?
Let’s say 10 people apply for 100 shares each (1,000 total), but only 200 shares are available. Each person will receive 20% of what they applied for — i.e., 20 shares. Then, a lottery is conducted for remaining small fractions to fairly distribute the leftover shares.
What Is the Latest GMP in the HDB Financial Services IPO?
According to LiveMint, the Grey Market Premium (GMP) for HDB Financial IPO is currently ₹375.
This suggests that HDB Financial Services shares may list at around:
That’s a 45% listing gain — a solid figure for investors.
