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
There is a fear that keeps a lot of 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,
Every firm that mis-sells keeps a disclaimer. A signed form saying the client understood the risks, agreed to the terms, and would not hold anyone responsible. Firms treat these forms as armour. Shikha Sharma’s case showed how little they protect when the firm’s own words are on record saying the opposite. She paid Supreme Investrade
Some trading losses come from a bad call. This one came from a button that would not work. Bharat Bhaychandbhai Vaghari, a trader from Gujarat, was sitting on a large unrealised profit. His Bank Nifty call option had run in his favour. All he had to do was sell. He could not. And the record
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 get a stock tip, the person says they are “SEBI registered,” and the question sits in the back of your mind: does that badge actually mean I can trust them? It is the right question to ask, and the honest answer has two halves. Yes, registration means something real, and no, it does not
An Aurostar Investment Advisory complaint ended in a decisive arbitration win for the investor, with the tribunal exposing not just reckless advice but a profit-sharing scheme that had no basis in SEBI regulations. The award was signed on 14 January 2025. The complainant was Md Tousif Uddin, an investor from Bolpur, Birbhum, West Bengal. He
Before you pay for a course, a Telegram plan, or a subscription under this name, one question matters more than any other. Is Trading With Karol SEBI registered? The honest answer is not a simple yes or no. Buddhi Prakash Karol, the person behind the brand, holds a genuine SEBI Research Analyst registration. The storefront
Natasha wasn’t looking for shortcuts. She wasn’t chasing overnight wealth or unrealistic returns. Like thousands of investors, she simply wanted professional guidance. So when a research analyst approached her with confident market insights, detailed recommendations, and promises of “better opportunities,” paying a subscription fee felt like a sensible investment. A few months later, her portfolio
