When will the basis of allotment be finalized?

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.
