IIFL Finance share price gained over 7 percent hitting new 52-week high on February 25.  The company has won the bid to acquire about 1.1 million demat accounts held by Karvy Stock Broking, while Axis Securities emerged as the successful bidder for trading accounts (broking accounts) held by Karvy.

"This is to inform you that IIFL Securities has emerged as the successful bidder for demat accounts held by Karvy with NSDL and CDSL. The said transfer of demat accounts is subject to remittance of the bid amount and submission of the necessary documents in relation thereto," IIFL Securities said in an exchange filing.
