In depth comparison

Groww — IPOs (Apply & Calendar)

groww.in

Groww provides a retail‑friendly IPO workflow for India: browse upcoming/open/closed IPOs (Mainboard & SME), apply using a UPI mandate, and track allotment/listing. Bond IPOs are now supported on the app. IPO applications on Groww use UPI (₹5 lakh daily cap for capital‑market UPI), while ASBA remains available via banks separately. Allotment status can be checked in‑app if you applied on Groww; otherwise, Groww links to NSE/BSE and registrar pages. Trading APIs (separate, optional subscription) exist for order placement and live data but do not document IPO application endpoints.
