Why IPO and G-sec orders can be blocked or unavailable on Kite

IPO and government-securities orders on Kite route through fixed bidding windows set by the issuer, the exchange and the Reserve Bank of India, not through the continuous order book that handles ordinary equity trades, so the order option is available only while a window is open and is closed by design at every other time. A blocked or missing “Apply” button for an IPO, or a greyed-out bid screen for a G-sec, T-bill, State Development Loan or Sovereign Gold Bond, almost always means the relevant window has not opened yet or has already shut, not that the platform is broken.
