How long does a stock remain under surveillance?

There is no fixed timeline. A stock can remain under surveillance for a few weeks or several months; it entirely depends on the exchange’s review and whether the stock’s trading behaviour returns to normal.

Exchanges review surveillance stocks periodically. If the unusual activity that triggered the flag has stopped and the stock’s price and volume have stabilised, the exchange may reduce the restrictions or remove the stock from surveillance altogether. If the activity continues or worsens, the stock may be moved to a higher stage with stricter restrictions.

You can track the status of any stock on the NSE or BSE surveillance lists, which are updated regularly. If a stock you hold is removed from surveillance, Samco will apply the updated conditions as soon as the exchange circular is effective.
