    Fund of affle India ipo is not unblocked till today who applied through bhim UPI. When will it unblocked? Anyone has idea about this please reply. Tq

      brother, who told you to buy at 940? It was very risky to buy at 940 when HNI costing was 960. Lot of HNI sold in the morning when they realize that they are not even able to get their costing and staring at a huge loss which triggered the sell-off. When such a scenario happens where HNI is not even able to get their cost, it is better to buy near IPO price if at all it comes and luckily it came today.

        Hi,
        I too brought at 940 and actually i have seeen touching 958 but couldnt sell.what is the best price to exit ?

          Now this stock has become a long term friend of you. It will take some time to go pass 940 levels. Stay invested. The best price to exit was when you have bought the share. 940-960 was the selling range and 750-790 was the buying range.

            Agar aapne stock trading ke liye liya tha toh 900 ka stop loss lagana tha.

            Hi

            How do we know 960 was HNI price? Now it is decreasing further..shall i exit at 770 levels?

              HNI mostly borrow fund from the Banks and apply in IPO for listing gain. There costing in Affle was 215. So 745+215=960, this is the costing for HNI. Anything above would be their profit. So if IPO does not list above 960, the HNIs mostly come to sell so as to reduce the loss. If it goes below 750 then further deep fall may happen.

      Thank god the price is coming near to your buying price.

      yeah it came near my buy price but i sold earlier and didn’t enter later on. am newbie, still learning

    ***************My advice on Affle Listing today************************

    The expected listing above 950. In my view, those who applied only for listing gain than anything above 30% from issue price should be the exit point. Though many are saying in the market that it might go above 1100 today. However, I as an individual believe if we get 30% in IPO in just 6 days we should embrace with both hands.

    Or if anyone wants to take the risk and want to earn more than 30% then put stop loss at 950 and trade.

      Those who book profit above 950 on my recommendation are real winners. The share price is now 861 at 10:38 am.

      Hi

      Brought 110 shares at 940.share is now trading at 818 will it touch 940 today again? Shall i hold or sell ??

    Will someone who has applied for 10 lots get confirmed 1 lot allotment atleast ?
    Any allotment will be pure luck in this IPO…

    Attn. Members: Please note that the Bid Uploading Session for IPO of AFFLE INDIA LIMITED (AFFLE) for Retail category has been extended upto 7.30 pm.

    in the current market scenario ..what will be the listing gain % on affle..???…And should we on day 1 or??

    subscription numbers of today and yesterday are not showing any great figures, can anyone suggest is it worth going for this ipo for listing gains.

    Can anyone please tell me the steps to apply through new procedure..??

    Affle IPO – *Market Estimates of oversubscription*:

    RII = 3.25L Forms = 10.55X Applic. wise (Avg allotment of ~1.90 shares per lot)
    NII = 10,000K Crs. = ~145X

    Interest cost @8%p.a. for 7days = 114.30paise for 1X

    Thus, for NII the costing = 145 X 114.30paise = Rs.166 per share (GMP)

    And, for RII the costing = 166 X 1.90 = Rs. ~315/- (Kostak)

    Affle IPO – *GMP Expected*
    GMP 190/-
    Kostak 400/-

      My broker edelweiss didn’t have any knowledge regarding this new upi way to apply for affle India. Didn’t know how to deal with the same.

    I don’t think that UPI will be compulsory for this issue as BHIM app is not working properly….

    I have savings account with SBI and DMAT account is with Zerodha. Can I apply through SBI online NetBanking ASBA using the Zerodha DMAT beneficiary account?

    I don’t (want to) have a 3 in 1 account as Zerodha is my preferred broker for all equity related transactions.

    Dear All,
    There is rumours in the market that ASBA facility extended for 3 months. *Kindly do not trust on this rumours.*

    *Pls note UPI ID is mandatory for all the Retail Investors who wants to submit the applications to the registered brokers.*

    Affle holding which is selling shares in the IPO has made a handsome return in the last 7 years.

    (i) 7,356,790 Equity Shares allotted to Affle Holdings.
    (ii) 416,326 Equity Shares allotted to Affle Holdings.
    (iii) 1,221,350 Equity Shares allotted to Affle Holdings.
    (iv) 554,813 Equity Shares allotted to Affle Holdings.
    (v) 2,256,906 Equity Shares allotted to Affle Holdings,

    Now they are selling 4,953,020 shares in the IPO @745 each.

    The threat in the business

    1. The legal, regulatory and judicial environment that evolves around data protection and other matters is constantly evolving and can be subject to significant change.

    2. This could significantly restrict Affle India ability to collect, process, use, transfer and pool data collected from and about consumers and devices.

    3. Stringent Laws in Right to Privacy may affect company’s operation.

    They deliver ads on mobile phones. They study the user behavior, their consent, track user browsing history via cookies and provide this data to Advertisement companies. Ad companies then send promotional messages to these potential customers and when they open it, download their app, or buy products, the Affle will get their commission.

    Looks a wonderful company to invest on prima facie.
