Best Time to Open a Demat Account for IPOs in 2025

If you’re planning to invest in IPOs (Initial Public Offerings) in 2025, your first step is having a Demat account ready. But when is the best time to open one?

This blog answers that question and shows how timing your Demat account setup right can increase your chances of IPO participation—and potential gains.

Why Do You Need a Demat Account for IPOs?

• IPO shares are allotted only to valid Demat accounts

• Without one, your IPO application will be rejected

• You need to link your bank account and complete KYC beforehand

• Shares, if allotted, are credited directly to your Demat account

Is There a “Best Time” to Open a Demat Account?

Yes. The best time to open a Demat account is:

At least 5–7 days before the IPO opens

• When multiple IPOs are scheduled in the market

• Before big-ticket IPOs (popular brands, tech companies, government disinvestments)

• During the start of a new financial year or quarter, when many companies list

Upcoming IPO Trends for 2025

The 2025 IPO calendar is expected to include:

• Tech and fintech startups

• Manufacturing and electric mobility firms

• Government-backed disinvestment IPOs

• Renewed retail investor participation after past successes

Opening your Demat account in Q1 or Q2 of 2025 ensures you’re ready when the action begins.

What If You Wait Until the Last Minute?

• Your account might not be activated in time

• You may miss UPI linking or KYC verification deadlines

• Your IPO application may get rejected

• You’ll lose the early listing gain opportunities

What You Need Before Applying for IPOs

1. Active Demat account

2. Linked bank account (preferably with UPI support)

3. Completed KYC verification

4. Sufficient balance to block funds for IPO
