If a stock you were planning to buy suddenly comes under surveillance, it is worth pausing before placing the order. Surveillance is the exchange’s way of signalling that something about the stock’s trading behaviour is not normal and in many cases, that signal is worth taking seriously.
Before proceeding, check which surveillance framework the stock has been placed under and what stage it is in. This will tell you what restrictions apply and how much margin you will need to place a buy order. You can find this information on the NSE or BSE website under the surveillance section.
Keep in mind that stocks under surveillance especially in higher stages can be volatile and illiquid. Even if you are able to buy, finding a buyer when you want to sell may not always be straightforward.
