Here’s what you should know about #interest on late refunds: under Section 244A of the Income-Tax Act, if your refund is delayed due to departmental reasons (not your mistake), you are eligible for interest at a rate of 0.5 % per month (i.e., ~6 % per annum).

Simply put — your refund won’t land unless your bank details, #Aadhaar-PAN linkage and ITR data all check out. The Income Tax Department’s own user manual says refunds usually take about 4–5 weeks after filing and verification, but even that timeframe is now stretched.

At the end of the day, this listing wasn’t just about shares — it was about expectations. And while #Lenskart has built a strong foundation, the premium paid by investors leaves little room for error.

For Lenskart’s management, the message is clear: this IPO may mark the beginning of a public journey — but the path ahead demands execution. Founder #PeyushBansal has said the listing is “Day Zero,” yet now the pressure is on to convert brand strength into consistent profits.

Third, the broader backdrop matters. In an #IPO season crowded with consumer tech names and glitzy listings, investors are increasingly demanding proof of sustainable earnings, not just growth narratives. Lenskart’s early debut highlighted that shift.

Second, the grey market premium or #GMP — a pre-listing sentiment indicator — crashed dramatically. From levels over ₹100, it plunged to single-digit levels just ahead of the listing, suggesting the hype train derailed before take-off.

At one point, the stock fell as much as 11% from the issue price before stabilising — a clear sign that investor enthusiasm had cooled. Why the lukewarm reception? First, valuations were frothy. #Analysts pointed out a price-to-earnings multiple exceeding 200× on FY 2025 profits.

The company secured a valuation near ₹69,800-₹70,000 crore (~US $7.7 billion) at listing. However, the market was less impressed. On listing, shares opened at roughly ₹390 on the #BSE and ₹395 on the NSE, both below the issue price of ₹402.

But when the #shares hit the market on 10 November 2025, the modest debut exposed the cracks. Lenskart priced its shares between ₹382 and ₹402, and its IPO raised around ₹7,278 crore — a mix of fresh equity and offer-for-sale.

At the end of the day, Bira 91 isn’t launching a new flavour — it’s racing to settle old bills. The asset sale might buy a little breathing space, but the real test will be when operations restart and trust rebuilds.

For everyday observers and small-share investors, the takeaway is simple. A trendy #startup with a cool brand isn’t immune to basic business risks. When payrolls stop, creditors stir, and board room letters go out, the story has moved beyond hype into heavy-duty survival mode.
