Shareholder bids are capped at Rs 2 lakh (14 lots, 168 shares) and carry no discount, while eligible employees get Rs 54 a share off. The issue is 21 to 23 Oct 2026 at Rs 1,065 to Rs 1,119, with a lot of 12 shares. This article gives no unofficial price premiums.<\/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 multiple bids across different categories are not treated as multiple bids under the offer document, subject to the applicable limits, so an eligible Reliance shareholder can apply in the shareholder category and also in retail or non-institutional. Retail and HNI cannot both be used, the shareholder category has no discount and is capped at Rs 2 lakh or 14 lots, and eligible employees get Rs 54 per share off in their category. Applying across categories can improve allotment chances but does not guarantee any allotment. Confirm the Jio IPO multiple bids rules with your broker, since the report I used does not cover the same-PAN rule or the shareholder record date.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Jio IPO multiple bids are a common question because the issue has a shareholder quota of Rs 2,500 crore and an employee quota of Rs 500 crore on top of the retail and HNI categories. The rules decide how many applications you can place and where.<\/p>\n<p>This guide sets out the category limits, the rules on Jio IPO multiple bids, a worked example, allotment rules and mistakes to avoid. It is educational and not a recommendation to apply for the issue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><strong>Click Here &#8211; Get Free Investment Predictions<\/strong><\/p>\n<div
