"Prevent un-authorized transactions in your account --> Update your mobile numbers/email IDs with your stock brokers and depository participants. Receive information of your transactions directly from Exchange or Depository on your mobile/email at the end of the day. Issued in the interest of investors"

"KYC is one time exercise while dealing in securities markets - once KYC is done through a SEBI registered intermediary (broker, DP, Mutual Fund etc.), you need not undergo the same process again when you approach another intermediary."

"No need to issue cheques by investors while subscribing to IPO. Just write the bank account number and sign in the application form to authorise your bank to make payment in case of allotment. No worries for refund as the money remains in investor's account."

Brokerage charged will not exceed maximum limit as prescribed by SEBI.

This is with reference to communication received from SEBI/Exchanges stating that some fraudster entities have been operating throughout India and sending bulk messages to the clients trading on the recognized stock exchanges on the pretext of providing investment tips and luring with hefty profits, all clients are requested not to get carried away by luring advertisements, rumours, hot tips, explicit/ implicit promise of returns, etc.

The modus operandi observed is that once a client pays amount to them, huge profits are shown in his account online inducing more investment. However, they stop responding when client demands return of amount invested and profit earned.

Stock Brokers can accept securities as margin from clients only by way of pledge in the depository system w.e.f. September 1, 2020.

Update your mobile number & email Id with your stock broker/depository participant and receive OTP directly from depository on your email id and/or mobile number to create pledge.

Pay 20% upfront margin of the transaction value to trade in cash market segment.

Investors may please refer to the Exchange's Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) issued vide circular reference NSE/INSP/45191 dated July 31, 2020 and NSE/INSP/45534 dated August 31, 2020 and other guidelines issued from time to time in this regard.
