Step-by-Step Guide: Selling IPO Shares After Listing
1. Wait for the Listing Date

shares can be sold only after the company is listed on NSE/BSE.
- Shares
will reflect in your Demat account, usually within one day before the
listing.
2. Log Into Your Trading & Demat Account
- Use
your broker’s mobile app or web portal (ensure your trading and Demat
accounts are linked).
3. Check Your Holdings
- Go
to your “Holdings” or “Portfolio” section.
- Find
the IPO shares you want to sell (listed with quantity and current market
price).
4. Place a Sell Order
- Select
the stock and click on “Sell.”
- Enter
the number of shares you wish to sell.
- Choose
order type:
- Market
Order: Sells at current market price instantly.

Order: Sells only when your set minimum price is reached.
5. Review & Confirm
- Double-check
the price, quantity, and order type.
- Submit
the order during market hours (usually 9:15 AM–3:30 PM).
6. Receive Funds
- Once
executed, funds are credited to your trading account.
- Transfer
funds from your trading to your bank account if desired (T+1 or T+2 days).
