How to apply?
You can apply both online and offline for this position. If you want to apply for an IPO online, you can do so through your Demat account or its app. There are three categories to choose from here.

Select the category for which you want to apply. After that, enter the desired number of lots. Following that, the lot price money would be absorbed (blocked) from your account. If you receive shares in the share allotment on May 12, money will be withdrawn from your account, and the shares will arrive in your Demat account on May 16. Following that, on May 17, LIC's stock will be placed on the market.
If you do not receive the shares, on the other hand, the process of unblocking your funds will begin on May 13. Your funds will be unblocked within 1-2 days in this circumstance. If you prefer to apply offline, you must contact the LIC or your Demat account company's office.
