Basic IPO FAQs

can I avail a loan and then apply for an IPO?

It is possible, but not recommended. This is because you will have to pay interest rate and processing fee in order to get a loan. This will increase the cost of your investment capital. Let's say you take a loan of Rs 1,00,000 for 1 Year at a rate of 15%. The processing fee is Rs 2 000. The bank will charge Rs 1, 00,000.000 plus Rs 2, 000 + Rs 15, 000. This is a simple calculation. This amount is 17% higher than the investment amount for an IPO.

Every IPO comes with some risk. It could open at a lower price or not open at all. You would lose a greater amount in such cases. It's better to save money, wait and invest.
