✅ 5 Common IPO Mistakes & How to Avoid Them
---
1️⃣ Not Doing Any Research
🚫 Mistake: Investing just because friends or social media said so.
✅ Fix: Always check the company’s financials, background, promoter history and industry outlook.
---
2️⃣ Ignoring the Price Band
🚫 Mistake: Applying without checking if the IPO is fairly valued.
✅ Fix: Compare with other listed companies in the same sector — don’t overpay!
---
3️⃣ Not Applying at Cut-Off Price
🚫 Mistake: Bidding at a lower price to save a few rupees.
✅ Fix: Always apply at the cut-off price — this increases allotment chance.
---
4️⃣ Investing All Money in One IPO
🚫 Mistake: Putting entire savings into one IPO hoping for big profit.
✅ Fix: Diversify — apply in multiple good IPOs or balance with other investments.
---
5️⃣ Not Using the Right UPI/ASBA Method
🚫 Mistake: Payment issues due to wrong UPI ID or not approving mandate on time.
✅ Fix: Double-check your UPI ID & bank account, approve the mandate immediately.
