Size not disclosed. GMP Rs 145-160.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#F0F9FF;border-left:4px solid #2E7D32;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#1F4E79;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\">Jio IPO shareholder quota is a separate reservation for eligible Reliance Industries shareholders, defined in the DRHP as individuals and HUFs who are public equity shareholders of Reliance on the date the red herring prospectus is filed, with no minimum holding and a bid limit of Rs 2 lakh at the cut-off price through UPI. The size of the quota has not been disclosed and will come with the prospectus, expected in the week of 12 October, and there is no separate record date to wait for because the eligibility date is the RHP filing date. A quota bid and a retail bid are not treated as multiple bids, so one PAN can apply in both. The grey market premium is Rs 145 to Rs 160 and the price band is not announced, so owning Reliance shares only improves your options if the quota is large enough, which is unknown.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Jio IPO shareholder quota is the question many Reliance investors are asking as the issue nears, after reports that it could open on 21 October. The draft prospectus confirms the reservation but leaves its size blank, and the eligibility rule is easy to misread.<\/p>\n<p>If you hold Reliance Industries shares or are thinking of buying one, this article covers which Reliance Industries shareholders are eligible, including individuals and HUFs, what the DRHP says, the RHP filing date, bids at the cut-off price through UPI, the retail and employees reservations, whether buying a single Reliance share is worth it, the latest GMP, the expected price band, size and valuation, and the risks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><strong><a

Because the quota size, price band and dates are unknown, buying a Reliance share only for the Jio IPO shareholder quota is a judgement call.
