Searching for “Invesia Research” usually means one of two things: you’re either considering paying for their services, or something already feels off and you want answers.
Either way, this page gives you the complete picture: what Invesia Research actually is, what SEBI’s rules say about firms like this, the specific red flags every investor must verify before paying any research analyst, and exactly what to do if you believe a firm has crossed a regulatory line.
Is Invesia Research SEBI-registered?
Yes. Invesia Research is led by Himanshu Vyas, a SEBI-registered Research Analyst with registration number INH000022941.
Enter the name or registration number and confirm:
- Registration status (active or cancelled)
- Registration date and validity
- Registered proprietor or entity name
- Category of registration
Important: SEBI registration confirms that the firm is authorised to provide research services. It is not an endorsement of performance, ethics, or quality of advice.
Registered firms can and do violate SEBI regulations, and when they do, investors have clear legal remedies.
What Does “SEBI-Registered Research Analyst” Actually Mean?
This is the most misunderstood label in retail investing. Many investors assume that SEBI-registered is equal to safe. That’s not accurate.
Here is what registration actually means — and what it doesn’t.
What Invesia Research Is Permitted to Do
Under the SEBI (Research Analysts) Regulations, 2014, a registered RA like Invesia Research is authorised to:
- Publish research reports based on fundamental or technical analysis
- Provide buy, sell, or hold recommendations with documented rationale
- Share market insights, sector views, and strategy-based opinions
- Charge fixed, transparent fees agreed in advance
- Operate research-based subscription services
Their role is strictly limited to analysis and recommendation — not execution, not fund management, and not personalised trade guidance.
What Invesia Research Is NOT Permitted to Do
SEBI regulations are equally clear about what a registered RA cannot do. These are not grey areas — they are hard regulatory boundaries:
- No guaranteed or assured returns: any promise of fixed profit is a direct SEBI violation under Regulation 16(b)
- No live trade-by-trade execution guidance: sending “buy NOW at 24,500, target 25,000, SL 24,200” in real time crosses into investment advisory territory, which requires a separate SEBI registration
- No WhatsApp-based personalised calls: messaging platforms used as a live trading desk are specifically flagged by SEBI circulars on RA conduct
- No profit-sharing or performance-based fees: fees must be fixed and disclosed upfront, not linked to returns
- No fund management or portfolio handling: touching a client’s capital directly requires a Portfolio Manager registration, not an RA registration
- No loss recovery promises: claiming to “recover” a client’s previous trading losses is a specific red flag SEBI has penalised firms for
If any research analyst, registered or not, has done any of these things, that is a regulatory violation regardless of what their agreement says.
The Red Flags to Check Before Paying Any Research Analyst
No SEBI order exists against Invesia Research as of June 2026. However, the pattern of how investors get misled by registered RAs is consistent across the industry. Before paying any RA firm — including Invesia Research — run through this checklist:
1. Is the fee structure in writing?
Any RA must provide a clear, written fee agreement before service begins. If fees are communicated only verbally or via WhatsApp, that is a compliance failure at account opening.
2. What exactly are you paying for?
A research report is a document. If what you’re receiving is a daily WhatsApp message saying “buy X at Y”, you’re not receiving research — you’re receiving live trade execution guidance. These are fundamentally different services under SEBI law.
3. Has anyone used the words “guaranteed” or “assured”?
The moment an RA representative uses either word in any context — call, message, email, or pitch — they have violated SEBI Regulation 16(b). Document it immediately.
4. Are they asking you to share login credentials or OTPs?
A research analyst has no business reason to access your trading account. Any request for login details, OTPs, or account access is a serious red flag — and potentially criminal.
5. Are they pressuring you to upgrade to a higher package after a loss?
“Pay more and we’ll recover your losses” is a documented pattern in RA misconduct cases. It is both a SEBI violation and predatory conduct.
What Happens When a Registered RA Crosses the Line: A Real Case
To understand what RA violations look like in practice, and what recovery actually looks like, here’s a documented SEBI case involving a registered research analyst firm.
Supreme Investrade Complaints
Supreme Investrade, a SEBI-registered RA (Registration No. INH000008747), was penalised ₹5,00,000 by SEBI’s Adjudicating Officer for the following violations:
- Sharing screenshots of other clients’ profits to promise similar returns (“aap bhi isi tarah se profit earn kar sakte ho… daily basis pe”)
- Pressuring a client to add more capital after incurring losses
- Sending messages like “jaldi buy karo… maximum quantity buy karo” — direct execution instructions beyond the permitted scope of research
The key finding: WhatsApp messages showing profit screenshots and pushing clients toward specific trades were treated as guaranteed return assurances and unauthorised execution guidance, both direct SEBI RA violations.
In a parallel BSE arbitration case involving the same firm, an investor who was pressured not to exit a losing trade received a ₹25,000 award despite having signed a no-refund agreement.
What this means for you: If an RA you’ve paid has done any of the above, you have a documentable complaint — regardless of what their terms and conditions say.
What to Do If You’ve Paid an RA and Something Feels Wrong
If Invesia Research — or any registered research analyst — has delivered services that don’t match what SEBI permits, here is the exact process to follow.
Step 1: Document Everything Immediately
Save every piece of communication before raising any dispute:
- All WhatsApp messages, voice notes, and call logs
- Payment receipts and fee agreements
- Research reports received (or evidence that no formal reports were provided)
- Any messages containing profit promises, guaranteed return language, or execution instructions
- Screenshots with timestamps intact
Do this before contacting the firm. Once you raise a dispute, communication patterns can change.
Step 2: Write to Invesia Research’s Compliance Team
Send a formal written complaint, email or registered post, stating:
- The specific service you paid for
- What was actually delivered vs. what SEBI permits
- A clear ask: written explanation of the service category and a copy of all agreements
Keep a record of the date sent and any response received.
Step 3: File on SEBI SCORES
If the firm does not resolve the complaint within 30 days, file on SEBI SCORES at scores.gov.in:
- Select “Research Analyst” as the intermediary category
- Enter registration number INH000022941
- Attach all documented evidence
- Describe specifically which SEBI RA regulation was violated
SEBI SCORES creates a regulatory record and puts direct pressure on the firm to respond.
Step 4: Escalate to SMART ODR
If SCORES does not produce a resolution, escalate to SMART ODR, SEBI’s Online Dispute Resolution platform. This is a structured, quasi-legal process that has produced binding recovery awards for investors in similar RA cases.
Step 5: Arbitration in Share Market
If fees were paid through a SEBI-registered channel and the matter remains unresolved, BSE arbitration is available for a binding award. For claims below ₹10 lakh, there is no investor-side filing fee.
Time limit: File complaints within 3 years of the incident. Acting early is always better; evidence trails are clearest in the first few months.

Conclusion
Invesia Research holds a valid SEBI registration as a Research Analyst under Himanshu Vyas (INH000022941). As of June 2026, no SEBI adjudication orders or arbitration awards have been publicly recorded against the firm.
That said, SEBI registration is the regulatory minimum — not a guarantee of compliant conduct. The boundaries of what a registered RA can and cannot do are clearly defined, and violations are actionable regardless of signed agreements or no-refund clauses.
If you are evaluating Invesia Research, verify the registration, get the fee structure in writing, and confirm exactly what format the “research” will be delivered in.
If you have already paid and something has gone wrong, the complaint process exists precisely for this — and it works when used correctly.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Invesia Research SEBI registered?
Yes. Himanshu Vyas, a SEBI-registered Research Analyst with registration number INH000022941, leads Invesia Research. You can verify this on SEBI’s official intermediary portal at sebi.gov.in. Registration is active as of June 2026.
2. Has SEBI taken any action against Invesia Research?
No SEBI adjudication orders, penalty notices, or arbitration awards have been publicly recorded against Invesia Research as of June 2026. This page will be updated if any regulatory action is taken.
3. Can Invesia Research send live trade tips on WhatsApp?
No. A SEBI-registered RA can only provide documented research reports with analysis and buy/sell/hold recommendations. Sending live, real-time execution instructions via WhatsApp, such as specific buy/sell calls with entry and exit levels, goes beyond the permitted scope of research advisory and constitutes a SEBI violation.
4. Invesia Research promised guaranteed returns. Is that legal?
No. SEBI explicitly prohibits research analysts from making assured or guaranteed return promises under any circumstances, verbal or written. This is a violation of SEBI RA Regulation 16(b) and can form the basis of a SCORES complaint regardless of what the service agreement says.
5. I signed a no-refund agreement. Can I still file a complaint?
Yes. A no-refund clause cannot override SEBI regulatory obligations. If the firm violated its RA registration scope, through guaranteed return promises, live execution guidance, or undisclosed fee structures, the clause does not protect them. SEBI adjudicators and arbitrators have upheld complaints in such cases.
6. Where do I file a complaint against Invesia Research?
File on SEBI SCORES at scores.gov.in — select “Research Analyst” as the category and mention registration number INH000022941. Attach all payment receipts, WhatsApp communications, and any evidence of violations. If SCORES does not resolve the matter, escalate to SMART ODR and then BSE arbitration.
7. What is the time limit to file a complaint?
It is advisable to file within 3 years of the incident. The sooner you act, the stronger your evidence trail. Delays allow communication records to be deleted and make the case harder to reconstruct.
