When to File a Complaint About a Broker in NSE?
A National Stock Exchange (NSE) complaint against a broker should be filed when the broker fails to comply with exchange rules or acts in a manner that harms the investor’s interests.
This may include issues such as
- Unauthorized trading
- Non-receipt of funds or securities
- Churning in stock market
- Delay or refusal in executing orders,
- Misrepresentation, or failure to provide contract notes and statements.
If the investor has first raised the issue directly with the broker and has not received a satisfactory resolution within a reasonable time, the matter can be escalated to the NSE through its investor grievance redressal mechanism.
Filing a complaint at the right time helps protect investor rights and ensures accountability in the securities market.

Always begin by raising the issue directly with the broker and giving them a fair chance to resolve it. If the response is unsatisfactory, escalate the complaint through NSE’s official grievance redressal system and further to SEBI’s SCORES platform and SMART ODR if required.
The key to a successful complaint is not lengthy explanations but clear facts supported by strong evidence, such as contract notes, emails, statements, and transaction records submitted at the earliest stage.
A well-documented complaint increases credibility, speeds up resolution, and ensures your rights as an investor are taken seriously.
