When will the basis of allotment be finalized

The first step for checking the allotment status of the IPO online is the completion of the basis of allotment of Credo Brands Marketing Ltd (MUFTI) . The basis of allotment will be finalized late on 22nd December 2023. The refunds will be initiated by the company on 26th December 2023. The demat credits are expected to also happen on 26th December 2023 while the listing of the stock on the NSE and the BSE will happen on 27th December 2023. In between there is a weekend and a holiday so the allotment status gets delayed by a couple of days. However, it looks like the companies are keen to adhere to the new SEBI norm of T+3 listing. That was voluntary till the end of November but has become mandatory as of the start of December 2023, so IPO issuers are now fully prepared for the new system. The adherence has been much more robust among the SME IPOs, and now mainboard IPOs are catching on.
