How Is the Basis of Allotment Decided?

The basis of allotment follows SEBI’s standard framework and is the same across mainboard IPOs, including Gaja Alternative Asset Management. In the retail category, if the issue is oversubscribed, allotment is done through a computerised lottery (draw of lots), so each successful applicant gets at least one full lot rather than a partial allocation. In the NII and QIB categories, allotment is proportionate to the shares bid for, subject to the rounding rules the registrar applies when a category is oversubscribed.

What Happens If You’re Not Allotted Shares?

If you don’t receive an allotment, the amount blocked through ASBA is unblocked automatically, and refunds for other application modes are processed by 25 August 2026. You’ll also get an email/SMS update from the registrar and your depository.

What Will Gaja Alternative Asset Management Do With the IPO Proceeds?

Of the ₹450 crore fresh issue, about ₹372 crore is earmarked for sponsor commitments to Gaja Capital’s existing and upcoming funds (including Fund V and a secondaries fund) and repayment of a bridge loan, with the remainder for general corporate purposes. The separate ₹100 crore offer-for-sale is the sale of existing shares by promoters Ranjit Jayant Shah and Imran Jafar, together with other existing shareholders — that money goes to them personally, not to the company.
