Why the cut-off matters

Zerodha aggregates retail bids and submits them to RBI on auction day. Bids must reach Zerodha before the cut-off to enter the auction.

Bids after cut-off are rolled to the next auction (if applicable).

Tip

Bid early in the window to avoid:

  • Network congestion at cut-off.
  • Holiday-shortened windows.
  • Auction postponements (RBI may shift dates for holidays).
