Let’s be fair to brokers for a second. They’re allowed to square off your position if you fall short on margin. That’s normal; it’s in the rules, and it protects everyone. What’s not normal is doing it with no real notice, before you’ve had any genuine chance to add funds and save the position. There’s […]
Not every broker dispute is about a bad trade. Sometimes it’s just a line on your ledger you can’t explain. A charge appears. No contract note. No reason you can find. The money’s simply gone. You call, you email, and you get a shrug or silence. That’s a wrongful debit, and here’s the good news:
Unauthorised trading is simple to describe and painful to live through. Trades show up in your account that you never placed and never approved. It’s one of the most common complaints against brokers, and one of the toughest to prove, because the broker holds all the records. That’s the catch. How do you prove a
There is a version of the advisory trap that does not bother with tips at all. It takes your account. You are told the experts will handle everything so you don’t have to trade on your own. You are sometimes told to stay silent on calls and just say yes. Your job is reduced to
Anyone typing is Deepak Pal SEBI registered into a search bar wants one thing confirmed fast, before money moves. A registration number alone only answers part of that question though. INH000012856 sits on SEBI’s own database, tied to a proprietorship called Investogainer Research, run out of Indore. What that number actually confirms, and what it
If you are trying to file a complaint against Deepak Pal, one number should already concern you. Five of his six subscription plans cross the SEBI fee cap once annualised. Maybe you already paid Investogainer Research, and the bill never matched what you expected. Maybe you are still deciding whether a formal complaint is worth
If you are researching Deepak Pal of Investogainer Research before paying, the registration number alone will not tell you enough. INH000012856 is real. It shows up correctly on SEBI’s own database. But a genuine registration and a compliant business are two different things. This blog walks through where the two separate for Deepak Pal specifically.
You paid a firm for trading advice. Then you checked, and they are not registered with SEBI at all. Not as a research analyst, not as an investment adviser, nothing. The fear that follows is understandable. If they were never regulated, who do you even complain to? Three settled files answer that. In one, a
Most people who lose money in a broker account blame the market. They look at the wiped-out balance and assume the trades went wrong. Sometimes the trades barely moved. The account was drained by charges. In one settled file, a client’s realised trading loss over ten weeks was 8,068. His brokerage over the same period
A small refund from an advisory is the claim most people never file. You lost 50,000, maybe 65,000, and you have talked yourself out of chasing it three times. The reasoning goes like this. The amount is too small. The process sounds long. A firm with lawyers will not bother with you, and even if
Most complaints against an adviser turn on what someone said on a phone call. Whether recovery was assured, whether a stop loss was refused, or whether the advice was useful. Those are winnable arguments, and they are also arguments. A fee is different. A fee is a number, on a date, in a bank record,
The advisory asked me to add more funds. That sentence appears in nine of the ten case files we hold, in almost the same words, from clients who never met each other. Some paid 2,500 to start. One paid 5,00,000 in total. They were all sold the same way, in the same order, using the
