With over 7.49 lakh subscribers, the Get Together Finance Telegram channel attracts a large audience with regular stock updates, profit snapshots, and broker-related content.
Before relying on any information shared there, it is important to understand what kind of content the channel actually publishes and how it presents it.
Get Together Finance Telegram Channel Review
Get Together Finance (GTF) runs its primary public Telegram channel under the name “Stock Idea Official” with 7,49,615 subscribers.
GTF Institute Private Limited holds a SEBI Research Analyst registration number INH000018692, valid from October 28, 2024.
Their Telegram channel is one of the largest finance-focused communities in India, and also where most of the regulatory concerns become visible in practice.
What Does GTF’s Telegram Channel Post?
The channel posts a mix of the following:
- Batch announcements for paid Get Together Finance courses like “Trading in the Zone” with dates, timings, and direct enrolment prompts
- Stock calls and percentage gain claims posted on the “GTF Eye” sub-channel with stock names and specific percentage moves like “6% UP,” “5% UP,” “7% UP”
- Lifetime Mentorship product promotions, announcing new pricing for mentorship-only access
- Student testimonials shared as screenshots of DMs praising founders Arun and Sooraj
- Educational content on market concepts and trading basics to build engagement and guide users toward deeper learning
This mix of content goes beyond simple education; therefore, it raises important questions about how the channel presents information and influences decisions.
Now, let’s break down the specific red flags one by one to see where these practices cross regulatory or transparency boundaries.
Get Together Finance Telegram Red Flags
Before you rely on any content from GTF’s Telegram channel, you need to examine how it actually operates and communicates; therefore, these red flags highlight what stands out.
However, do not ignore these signals, as they directly affect how you interpret the channel’s stock calls, promotions, and claims.
1. Stock-Specific Percentage Gain Posts Without Mandatory Disclosures
Regulation 19 and 21 of the SEBI (Research Analysts) Regulations, 2014 require stock-specific public recommendations, including on Telegram, to disclose the analyst’s name, SEBI registration number, and financial interest.
SEBI’s 2025 FAQs allow Telegram trade calls only if a SEBI-registered admin follows these disclosure norms.
The GTF Eye sub-channel posts stocks like SNOWMAN and ABREL with gain claims such as 5% UP, 6% UP, and 7% UP.
These posts show no SEBI registration number, analyst name, risk disclosure, or the mandatory warning “Investment in securities market is subject to market risks.”
2. Unverified Profit Screenshots Shared
SEBI’s Advertisement Code (May 1, 2023) bans misleading testimonials and false or biased claims across all communications, including Telegram.
The image shows profit screenshots: ₹20 lakh on L&T Finance (294.49%) and ₹19.52 lakh on Aditya Birla Capital (244.11%), shared.
GTF admits “We don’t verify or authenticate this data,” yet promotes these claims to users, directly violating SEBI rules.
3. Dhan Broker Referral With GTF Indicator Gated Behind Active Trading
Regulation 19(3) of the SEBI RA Regulations, 2014 requires Research Analysts to disclose all actual or potential conflicts of interest, including third-party commercial arrangements, in their terms and conditions, as reinforced by SEBI’s January 8, 2025, guidelines.
Images show GTF’s collaboration with Dhan: they share referral links with their code and tie GTF Indicator access to active trading on Dhan, including derivatives trading for one month.
GTF confirms this tie-up but does not disclose it in terms or posts, while incentivising trading on Dhan, which creates a clear, undisclosed conflict of interest under Regulation 19(3).
4. Profits Will Naturally Follow Beyond Expectations
SEBI’s Advertisement Code (April 2023) prohibits any communication that implies assured, minimum, or expected returns or suggests risk-free outcomes, across all media, including Telegram.
The image shows a post sent to 32,300 subscribers stating, “Profits will naturally follow beyond expectations.”
This statement implies assured returns and includes no risk disclaimer or warning, directly violating SEBI’s Advertisement Code.
What Investors Must Keep in Mind?
Before following or acting on anything from any finance Telegram channel, including GTF’s, keep these points in front of mind:
- A Telegram channel is not a SEBI-regulated advisory platform, regardless of the RA registration of the entity running it.
- Stock-specific percentage gain posts are not the same as a compliant research report; they carry no mandatory disclosures.
- Profit screenshots shared on Telegram are unverified unless independently audited, GTF’s own T&C confirms this.
- Broker referral links in educational channels may carry undisclosed commercial incentives for the channel owner.
- Implied profit promises like “profits will naturally follow” have no regulatory backing and do not trade based on motivational posts.
- Free content on Telegram is often a funnel toward paid products. Understand that before engaging.
Remember these points before you follow or act on any finance Telegram channel; therefore, treat all content as unverified until you check it yourself.
However, rely only on independently verified information before making decisions, and avoid acting on posts, screenshots, or links without proper due diligence.
What To Do In Such Cases?
If you opened a broker account using GTF’s referral link and felt pressured to trade derivatives to access their tools, you have formal options.
If you acted on stock calls posted in the channel and suffered losses, you also have clear avenues to take action.
Step 1: Complain to GTF’s Internal Grievance Officer
Send a written complaint to GTF’s designated grievance officer describing exactly what was posted, what you acted on, and what loss or harm resulted.
Document every screenshot as evidence before escalating.
Step 2: File a Complaint in SCORES
Register on SEBI’s SCORES platform, select GTF Institute Private Limited.
File a complaint citing the specific posts, stock calls without disclosures, unverified profit claims, or undisclosed broker arrangements, with screenshots as supporting evidence.
Step 3: Raise a Dispute in Smart ODR
SEBI’s Smart ODR portal resolves disputes between investors and SEBI-registered entities.
If your complaint on SCORES does not yield a resolution, escalate to Smart ODR with your full complaint record and supporting screenshots.
Step 4: Approach the Consumer Forum
If losses resulted from acting on unverified stock calls or misleading profit claims, this qualifies as a deficiency in service under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
Approach your State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission for a refund and compensation.

Conclusion
GTF’s Telegram channel is one of the largest finance communities in India, and that scale is precisely what makes its content practices matter.
GTF shares unverified profit screenshots to users and posts stock-specific gain claims without SEBI disclosures; moreover, it ties proprietary tools to active derivatives trading through a broker.
It also broadcasts implied profit promises to lakhs of followers; therefore, these are not minor oversights.
Follow the channel for market education if you choose to, but never act on its stock calls, broker recommendations, or profit screenshots without independently verifying every claim.
Your money deserves more than a Telegram post.
