Three IPOs are set to launch this week, including Hyundai Motor India's mega initial public offering and two SME IPOs from Lakshya Powertech and Freshara Agro Exports. With a busy week ahead, there is a lot of buzz around topics related to initial share sales, such as the cut-off price and pre-application. Let's take a look at these terms.

The cut-off is a price at which an interested investor is ready to subscribe to equity shares. It is the highest price at which an investor wants to buy shares.

For example, an IPO is priced between ₹170 and ₹180, and the investor bids at ₹176 apiece for 10 ten shares. If the IPO price is determined at ₹175, the investor will get shares. However, if it is ₹177, one will fail to get shares.
