The Retail investor who may also be share holder of ICICI Bank faces following dilemma.
1) Should retail investors put application for minimum lot of 22 shares or for more?

Additional Bid by ICICI Bank Shareholders
Bids by ICICI Bank Shareholders in ICICI Bank Shareholders Reservation Portion (subject to the Bid Amount being up to ₹ 200,000) and in the Net Offer portion shall not be treated as multiple Bids. To clarify, an ICICI Bank Shareholder bidding in the ICICI Bank Shareholders Reservation Portion above 200,000 cannot Bid in the Net Offer as such Bids will be treated as multiple Bids.
Thus an ICICI share holder who desires to apply in this IPO has option to:
a) Put in application under Retail category and also an application under ICICI Bank shareholders quota subject to cap of Rs. 2 Lacs
b) Put in an application of any amount (> Rs. 2 Lacs) in ICICI share holder quota only.
As shall become clear subsequently Option a) is better

In ICICI Pru Life IPO , allotment was on proportionate basis in the category of ICICI Shareholders and as the category saw high demand, the allotment ratio was quite poor. However now for ICICI Lombard the allotment intends to give first priority to minimum lot applicants.
| ICICI Lombard IPO: Broad Estimate of Allotment Possibility to Retail | |
| Actual No. of Retail Applicants – ICICI Pru Life IPO | 10,50,311 |
| Actual No. of Retail Applicants – Capacit’e Infra (Latest IPO) | 14,20,000 |
| Estimated Applicants who may apply for ICICI Lombard IPO | 12,00,000 |
| Amount in Rs. Based on Minimum Lot fo 22 shares | 17,63,52,00,000 |
| % of Retail Quota | 0.92 |
- No. of applicants in ICICI Lombard IPO is constrained by the fact that it is commanding very low grey market premium(same as ICIVI Pru Lfe IPO at time of Issue) and many other IPO like SBI Life and just concluded Capacit’e Infraprojects Limited IPO may limit attraction and funds availability with investors.
- Thus if above estimates hold true all retail could get a minimum lot in the IPO.
- Considering the premium that this issue is commanding there is not much marginal gain by applying for large amounts under retail and trying o get a slightly higher allotment than the minimum lot.
- Those who are very keen to have more allotment can put application above minimum lot and may get some more shares in case of a average response to the issue. For normal investors this does not hold much lure and minimum lot appears ok.

- If response in ICICI Pru Life IPO is an indication ICICI shareholder quota in ICICI Lombard is also likely to see significant demand and may be subscribed more than 10x.(amount wise)
- Even though there are less shares for this category in ICICI Lombard IPO (5%) compared to ICICI Pru Life IPO (10%), the significant change in allotment procedure from proportionate basis in ICICI Pru Life now to the one favoring those who apply for minimum lot in ICICI Lombard IPO, could see allotment of minimum lot to all applicants in this category
- This working is based on assumption that only ~10% of of ICICI Bank shareholders (retail) may apply for ICICI Lombard IPO.
- In such case those who apply for shares above the minimum lot could get some shares more shares but that being on proportionate basis may not be much.
- Even if 20% of ICICI shareholder choose to avail this quota offer, everyone may still get a minimum lot.
- I initially intended to apply for minimum lot both in retail & shareholder category in all my applications, but now hold some till more clarity emerges on subscription which could go down due to high pricing and the issue being sandwiched between Capacit’e Infraprojects Limited & ICICI Lombard IPOs.
