Ever wondered who’s really executing your trades behind the scenes? A recent SEBI order against VCK Share & Stock Broking revealed that unapproved individuals, including family members, were operating official trading terminals. On top of that, key Authorised Persons were caught trading without mandatory NISM Series VII certifications. Here is a breakdown of why SEBI
Imagine placing a trade over WhatsApp, and the chat deleting itself within 24 hours. For 36 clients of a registered stock broker, that is exactly what happened to the order records. SEBI and NSE spotted it during an inspection. The Rashi Equisearch SEBI order of October 7, 2026 shows what the regulator did next. Here
Five-star reviews. Glowing posts on Quora. A client claiming a ₹1 lakh profit in one month. None of those people were clients, and the research analyst behind them admitted it.

Picture a market commentator you’ve watched on TV a dozen times, someone whose name feels almost official at this point. Now picture SEBI quietly pulling the badge behind that name. That’s exactly what happened to Mitesh Thacker, and the reason isn’t what you’d expect. It wasn’t a scam. It wasn’t bad advice. It was something
Picture this for a second. A broker you might have trusted with your own trades. A licence straight from SEBI, sitting proudly on their website. And behind the scenes, a quiet family business rigging the very market they were supposed to serve. That’s not a movie plot. That’s exactly what SEBI’s newest order describes, across
If you trade Nifty or Bank Nifty options, or even just a few stock futures now and then, this paper affects you more than most SEBI papers do. This is the full consultation paper, all 17 pages of it, and it’s genuinely worth understanding properly. So let’s slow down and go through it piece by
If you’ve spent any time researching stock advisory complaints in India, the name Epic Research has probably crossed your path before. It shows up constantly in investor complaint forums, carries a documented SEBI enforcement history going back to 2021, and has built a reputation that goes well beyond “just another advisory firm.” So when its
A ₹2 lakh fine on a company that once moved over ₹180 crore in loans without full disclosure sounds like a mismatch. That’s essentially what happened with Emami Realty Limited.
