How to apply for a REIT IPO on Zerodha

Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A REIT public issue appears in the same Kite IPO window as an equity IPO, but Zerodha books a bid placed through UPI into it as a Non-Individual Investor (NII) application rather than the retail RII category, and you bid in multiples of a one-unit lot rather than against the Rs 2 lakh retail ceiling. A Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) is a SEBI -registered pooled vehicle that owns income-producing commercial real estate, office parks, malls or warehouses, and passes the bulk of its rental cash flow to unitholders. This guide covers where the issue shows up, the category and lot quirks, the UPI ASBA and net-banking routes, and the SEBI (Real Estate Investment Trusts) Regulations 2014 that set the distribution and asset-composition floors.

REIT / InvIT exposure cap for mutual funds

SEBI’s REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) and InvIT (Infrastructure Investment Trust) exposure cap for mutual funds limits the percentage of scheme AUM that an Indian mutual fund can invest in these instrument classes. The framework reflects the broader investment-restriction regime designed to ensure scheme diversification and prevent over-concentration in any single asset class beyond traditional equities and debt.

For Indian mutual fund scheme designers and investors, the framework matters because REITs and InvITs are emerging as a meaningful asset class but are operationally and economically distinct from regular equity / debt.
