SEBI act as a mediator between the companies and investors. From the investor’s viewpoint, it is safe to tighten the pricing of IPO shares. This help stabilises the profits and uses the profits for raising funds. Henceforth IPOs are monitored by the credit rating agencies. Commercial banks and financial institutions are not authorised to monitor the IPOs. SEBI had made changes to the lock-in period, NII category of share allotment and OFS (offer for sale).
