Before we get started, let’s discuss what is Shareholding Quota or Shareholder’s Reservation Portion. When a subsidiary company releases its IPO, it reserves some shares that are made available as an offering under the shareholding quota of the parent company. Normally, depending on the size of the IPO, 5 to 15 percent of the shares are reserved for this purpose. Shareholder’s Quota is a reserved category and eligible investors need to apply under this category.
