How to check Century Business Media IPO allotment status

The registrar publishes allotment on its own portal: KFintech. Your bank will also show the blocked amount released if shares were not allotted.

How to Apply for the Century Business Media IPO ASBA and UPI, as SEBI sets them
- Apply through your broker’s IPO window or your bank’s net banking (ASBA). The money stays in your own account and is only blocked until allotment.
- Choose the number of lots and bid at the cut-off price. SME issues take a minimum application of two lots, so the smallest valid bid is the amount shown in the lot table above.
- If you applied through a broker, approve the UPI mandate in your payment app. The mandate must be approved by 5 pm on the day after your bid, and by 5 pm on the closing day for bids made on the last day (16 Sept 2026).
- One application per PAN. A second application under the same PAN is rejected, and both may be.
- After allotment the blocked amount is released for shares not allotted. Allotment and refund queries go to the registrar, KFIN TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED, not to the exchange or the broker.
What is GMP in an IPO?
Grey Market Premium is the price at which an unlisted IPO application or share changes hands informally, before the stock is listed on the exchange. It is quoted as a rupee figure over the issue price: a premium of ₹0 on a ₹74 upper band means the grey market is dealing at ₹74.
The grey market is an over-the-counter market between private dealers. It is not operated or supervised by NSE, BSE or SEBI, no trade is settled through a clearing corporation, and no dealer is obliged to publish or honour a quote. Figures are collected by third-party reporters and different sources routinely disagree, which is why a premium can move sharply within a day or vanish entirely once bidding closes.
Grey Market Premium is an unofficial, unregulated over-the-counter datapoint reported by third parties. It is not a price, a forecast, or an indication of listing gains, and is not investment advice.
