The question raised by viewers before Zee Business was if application under retail investor category and policyholder category can be made on a single PAN card?

The answer to this is yes, says the Managing Editor.

Usually in IPOs, an investor who is applying under the retail investor category is not allowed to apply in other categories like HNI, Singhvi said adding that only one category is permitted on a PAN card.

But in LIC IPO, investors can apply simultaneously under two categories on a single PAN card, the Market Guru said.

If you are applying in retail category, you can take a discount of Rs 45. If you are also an LIC policyholder, you can make one more application under the policyholder category using the same PAN card and avail a discount of Rs 60 per share.

If you are an employee of LIC and want to make one more application under the employee category, you can do so as well, he further said.
