Anil - even tho there is quotas for nri's, if the issue is hot you will get none or very small
number of shares. the probleb is you ask for 10,000 shares, send your money in, they allocate
100 shares and refund the balance of your money after 6-months. - ratan


Ratan, is this from actual experience? I have never participated
in an Indian IPO as an NRI, but the prospectuses (prospectii?)
I have seen usually list the NRI quota as being on a
"firm allotment basis".

The scenario you describe is not strictly true even for
resident Indians. As I have said before, you can pay
for an IPO application with a lien on a fixed deposit.
The money will not be available to you till the issue is
alloted, but it will remain your money and will earn
interest for you while you wait.
