You checked the SEBI registration. You verified the certificate number. You did everything a careful investor is supposed to do. And you still lost your hard-earned money. Now you are sitting with losses you never expected, calls that go unanswered, and one question that keeps circling back: if they were SEBI registered, how did this […]
“I Thought the Loss Was Just Bad Luck” Amit took the plunge and subscribed to a research service he spotted through their market calls and detailed stock recommendations. For a couple of weeks, there were no signs of trouble. Still, gradually, he started losing money. Initially, he thought it was the market’s fault. But when
Here is what most people miss. Arbitration is not another complaint form that disappears into a support queue. It is a neutral tribunal that hears your dispute and passes an award the broker has to honour. For anyone who lost money and got nowhere with the grievance desk, that is the stage where the fight
So you paid fees to a research analyst, and now something feels off. Maybe the tips were wrong, and the analyst has gone silent. Maybe you’ve realised they weren’t even registered with SEBI. Whatever brought you here, you have questions. And when navigating stock market fraud recovery, you deserve straight answers. Here’s everything you need
Brokers are allowed to square off your position if you fall short on margin. That part is normal; it is in the rules, and it protects everyone. What is not normal is doing it after you have already paid, or after being assured your position was safe. There is a line between a lawful margin
Most broker conflicts stem from decisions: someone executed a trade, closed out a position, or pushed a bad call. Technical glitch cases are different. Here the culprit is the platform itself: an app that freezes, an order that will not go through, a position stuck open while the market moves against you. These feel hopeless,
Unauthorised trading is simple to describe and brutal to live through. Trades appear in your account that you never placed and never approved. With most brokers, the fight is about missing call recordings or absent order logs. With IIFL, the reviewed wins turned on something more technical and, frankly, more damning: the security and the
Fear keeps many people from ever filing. They think: “I kept trading after I started losing, so this is partly my fault, so I have no case.” That belief costs people real money, because it is wrong. This case is the proof. Patel Nasirhusen Aaiyubahamad, an investor from Surat, took a service linked to Inspire
DSIJ Wealth Advisory Private Limited is one of the older names in India’s retail investment advisory space. The firm publishes the Dalal Street Investment Journal, a fortnightly equity research magazine running since 1986. It also runs multiple subscription research services and a portfolio advisory operation under two separate SEBI registrations. On paper, the credentials are
Your research analyst held a valid SEBI registration yesterday. Today, that registration may no longer exist. On June 30, 2026, SEBI cancelled the registrations of 15 research analysts in a single order. The reason was not fraud, and not market manipulation. It came down to something far more ordinary: unpaid renewal fees. That sounds like
You followed a stock tip, and afterwards a small doubt crept in: was that person even authorised to give it? That doubt is worth acting on, because a registration you never checked is worth nothing. Whether an analyst is currently valid decides whether you have any real protection if their advice goes wrong. Here is
You see stock tips on Telegram. You see a confident voice on a call. You check the SEBI badge, and it is real. Does that mean you can trust what comes next? Not on its own. A registration number tells you the person cleared a certification exam and met SEBI’s minimum eligibility rules. It does
