You can check Paytm’s allotment status through stock exchanges or the registrar’s website (Link Intime India).


All the applicants who got issued will receive the share in their demat account on the date of listing, i.e. November 18. The rest, who did not get the allotment, will receive their IPO refund on or before the end of mandate.


Usually, if an applicant gets shares allotted, s/he would get a message when shares are blocked and unblocked in their bank account. If the funds are blocked, it means a few shares have been allotted.


The unblocked funds are transferred to the account. The IPO amount, which is blocked in an investor account, usually gets unblocked a day after the IPO allotment, or before the end of the validity period.


The investors — while mandating the IPO payment through UPI ID — are also given a validity period by which the funds would be transferred.


Here is the screenshot of an IPO mandate after the transaction is made through the UPI ID that has the validity period of the IPO.
