In India retail investors submit applications for shares before the listing date. In the United States the share allocation at the offer price is mainly given to investors by the underwriting banks and most retail investors purchase the stock on the very first day of trading paying the market price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To buy an IPO stock in the United States from India an investor must have an account on a platform that lists the stock must understand how the first day of trading operates and must review the company&#8217;s filings. Because the first\u2011day price can vary widely from the offer price, the choice of order type and the amount of money are more important than for a stock that has traded for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_a_US_IPO_works\"><\/span><strong>How a US IPO works<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Stage<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">What happens<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>1.

The main difference is the risk involved. A new listing should be treated with caution: use a position place a limit order and read the filing. The offer price that attracts headlines is rarely the price that a retail investor receives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kuvera provides guides on limit orders for United States stocks.

These guides cover two steps that&#8217;re important for a first\u2011day purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Can Indian investors apply for a United States IPO at the offer price?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mostly not. The offer price is mainly given to institutions and a few platforms give limited access. Therefore Indian retail investors usually buy after the stock is listed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. How can a United States IPO stock be bought from India?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can fund an account on a platform that lists the stock and place an order after trading starts. The best option is a limit order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. What is a lock\u2011up period?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a period, 90 to 180 days after the IPO, during which insiders and early investors are not allowed to sell their shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Is an IPO stock than an established stock?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Often it is. An IPO stock has trading history and may not be profitable yet. The filing contains information about the risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. How is a United States IPO stock taxed in India?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tax treatment is the same as for any United States stock. Long\u2011term gains for holdings of 24 months or more are taxed at 12.5% without indexation.
