      zerodha is best as of now with no delivery brokerage.

  2. Why some equity shares are not shown in the demat balance but shown in portfolio.How i can sell these shares.I have hdfc sec demat acct.Thanks

  3. Allotment is still not out and Viral Shah said he got allotment yesterday. Stop spreading false information. I think we will get to know today.

  4. Linkintime is most pathetic in organizing things. Drop down doesn’t even have S Chand name appearing there. And they haven’t even taken out Avenue Supermart from drop down. That itself shows how bad their management is

  5. HEY GUYS
    DR ANKIT JAIN,PALAK JHUNJHUNVALA AND SANKET MADRASI AA R SAME PERSON
    NEVER TRUST THEM
    FEKU….

  6. Great article! The insights on the S Chand IPO, especially the GMP and subscription details, are really helpful for potential investors like me. Looking forward to seeing how the allotment and listing play out!
