Book building is the process of price discovery. During the fixed period of time for which the subscription is open, the book runner collects bids from investors at various prices, between the floor price and the cap price. Bids can be revised by the bidder before the book closes. The process aims at tapping both wholesale and retail investors. The final issue price is not determined until the end of the process when the book has closed. After the close of the book building period, the book runner evaluates the collected bids on the basis of certain evaluation criteria and sets the final issue price.Originally Posted by Sandeep

I have two demat account one with ICICI Direct and another with HDFC Sec. Both of them offer online application to apply IPO online. I have a query that -Can I apply through both the above account? or is there any restriction in it.
You can apply from any of the account, but if you apply from both the accounts than the allotment will not happen to you. Because at the time of allotment they check with PAN no. and if they find similar PAN no., they will remove you from the list.

IPO are generally priced at a discount, which means that if the intrinsic value of a share is perceived to be Rs.100 the shares will be offered at a price, which is lesser than Rs.100 say Rs.80 during the IPO. When the stock actually lists in the market it will list closer to Rs.100. The difference between the two prices is known as Listing Gains, which an investor makes when investing in an IPO and making money at the listing of the IPO.
What is the bookbuilding Method in IPOs? Please explain in layman terms.
As per Book building method, the IPO issuing company doesn't fix the price in advance, rather gives a price band to the investors within which they are entitled to bid. The investors, in turn, bid for the same by stating the quantity as well as the price of the IPO shares at which they are interested to purchase. IPO's final price is then determined on the basis of all the bid prices.
