Can retail investors apply for an OFS below the cut-off price?

According to circulars from both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), retail investors are required to place their bids at the cut-off price or higher. This ensures that their bids are considered in the allocation process.
