    1. Have shares been allotted to you yet? The money got deducted from my account but no allotment or refund still. 

      1. hi 

         

        has RCF OFS shares been alloted? if not, when does the money get credited back to our account.

  1. Suresh, one quick question. Is OFS is also like IPO? Will they take any lottery as such and allot shares? Is there any maximum number of shares we can apply? When can we expect RCF allotment? 

  2. Hi , I have applied for OFS through icicidirect.com but the price which was showing is 74.25.

    Is that the price which a retail investor should buy or any other price as per your analysis it should be 70.5 approx but it was  not showing in the account .

    I have already applied for it and what is the price i may get if allotted and how do we change this price now as per the govt discount .
