Quick Summary
The Wealth Key Research holds SEBI Research Analyst registration INH000011510 in the name of Anupam Shrivastava, granted February 2023. Six complaints across two financial years, one still pending. The homepage assures “excellent quality of tips and profit earning strategy” while SEBI prohibits any guarantee or assurance of returns. A quarterly combo plan costs ₹1,50,000, sitting just ₹1,000 below SEBI’s entire annual fee cap. Five red flags, all pulled directly from the firm’s own website.
You found The Wealth Key Research. The website looks professional. There is a SEBI registration badge.
Services are clearly listed across equity, commodity, index, combo, and algo categories.
What the homepage does not show you is that it assures profit in the same paragraph it lists services.
That one complaint has been sitting unresolved for more than three months, and that a quarterly plan sits just ₹1,000 below SEBI’s entire annual fee limit.
This The Wealth Key Research review blog covers all five red flags using only what The Wealth Key Research publishes on its own website.
Is The Wealth Key Research SEBI Registered?
Yes. The Wealth Key Research holds SEBI Research Analyst registration number INH000011510 in the name of Anupam Shrivastava.
The registration is individual, not corporate. The licence belongs to Anupam Shrivastava personally, not to The Wealth Key Research as a company.
The registration became effective on February 24, 2023, and is currently shown as perpetual.
Individual registration has specific implications if something goes wrong. There is no company layer between the licence holder and his regulatory obligations.
When you file a complaint, you file against Anupam Shrivastava and the firm simultaneously. There is no separate corporate contact to route through.
You can verify the registration independently at sebi.gov.in under the Research Analyst intermediary category using registration number INH000011510.
Who Is Behind The Wealth Key Research?
Anupam Shrivastava is the founder and the individually registered Research Analyst behind The Wealth Key Research. The firm is based in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh.
His LinkedIn profile describes approximately 14 years of experience in banking, NBFCs, branch operations, and middle management, along with an NISM Research Analyst certification.
The LinkedIn profile has around 180 followers and appears to be his primary active public presence.
Outside LinkedIn and the firm’s own website, almost nothing about Anupam Shrivastava is independently verifiable.
No media mentions, no industry commentary, no third-party reviews of his work appear in any public source.
The firm’s website also mentions social media icons but no active social media profiles were accessible at the time of this review.
For a firm offering research services since 2023, that limited external presence makes independent verification harder than it should be.
What Services Does The Wealth Key Research Offer?
The firm offers five service categories. Equity research covering stock cash, futures, and options across core and prestige tiers. Commodity research across MCX and NCDEX markets.
Combo packages combining equity and commodity. Index research for Nifty and Bank Nifty options. And an algo trading service listed in the main navigation.
The firm specifically states that it offers only research services and does not execute trades or manage client portfolios. That is the correct scope for a SEBI-registered Research Analyst.
The algo trading category is listed as a full service in the navigation menu but carries no supporting service description, disclosure, or compliance information anywhere on the site.
SEBI’s framework requires specific disclosures for algorithm-based services. A category listed with nothing behind it raises the question of whether this is an active, properly disclosed service or a navigation placeholder.
For the complete pricing breakdown across all plans with the fee cap calculation, the pricing page covers every figure and what it means against SEBI’s annual limit.

The Wealth Key Research Complaint Data: Six Filed, One Still Pending
The Wealth Key Research publishes monthly complaint data as SEBI requires. The annual figures across two active financial years show the following.

|---|---|---|---|
| 2022-23 | 0 | 0 |

One complaint has been pending since at least the end of FY 2024-25. The firm’s own April 2025 monthly disclosure shows this pending complaint had been unresolved for more than three months at the time of last available update.
The April 2025 disclosure is also the latest monthly update visible on the site. SEBI requires research analysts to update complaint data by the 7th of every following month.
If more recent monthly updates are not visible, the disclosure is not current.
Six complaints across two years is a small number in absolute terms.
But growing complaint volumes, one unresolved case aging past three months, and a disclosure that may not be current are three separate data points that each deserve attention before subscribing.
Red Flag 1: “Assure Excellent Quality of Tips and Profit Earning Strategy”
The Wealth Key Research’s homepage, under its services section, states: “We can assure you about the excellent quality of tips and profit earning strategy.”
SEBI’s Research Analyst Regulations explicitly prohibit any registered analyst from promising or implying guaranteed returns. This is not a grey area. The prohibition covers verbal, written, and implied assurances of any kind.
The same firm’s own Investor Charter, published as a compliance requirement on the same website, tells investors to report any Research Analyst who offers “assured or guaranteed returns” directly to SEBI.
The marketing language and the compliance disclosure are directly contradicting each other on the same website.
Red Flag 2: “No Refund Possible in Any Case Whatsoever”
The firm’s Refund Policy states that subscription fees cannot be cancelled or refunded once paid, “regardless of the individual client’s performance.”
The policy adds: “There is no refund possible in any case whatsoever.”
At the same time, the firm’s Grievance Redressal Policy states that “Investors will be treated fairly at all times.”
A blanket no-refund policy with no cooling-off period, no service-quality safeguard, and no exceptions sits directly against that fair treatment promise.
SEBI’s December 2024 amendments to Research Analyst Regulations now require registered RAs to refund the pro-rata unused portion of advance fees on early exit.
The firm’s absolute refund policy may not reflect current regulatory requirements.
Red Flag 3: High Pricing With No Fee Cap Disclosure
The Wealth Key Research’s pricing ranges from ₹5,000 per week at entry level to ₹1,50,000 per quarter for the combo package.
No page on the site mentions SEBI’s ₹1,51,000 annual fee cap.
A quarterly combo renewal plus any additional plan in the same financial year pushes the combined total above the cap.
Investors paying for multiple subscriptions or quarterly renewals have no visible warning that they may be approaching or exceeding the regulatory ceiling.
Red Flag 4: Scam Warning on Every Single Page
A caution notice warning investors about impersonators using The Wealth Key Research’s name appears on nearly every page of the website.
Home, about, pricing, terms, disclosure, disclaimer, privacy policy, grievance redressal, refund policy, and investor charter all carry this warning.
One fraud warning is reasonable practice for any financial firm operating in India’s advisory space.
Having it on every page suggests impersonation is an active, recurring problem rather than a precaution against a hypothetical risk.
How many investors may have lost money to impersonators using this firm’s name, and whether those cases appear in SEBI SCORES complaint data, is not possible to determine from public information.
Red Flag 5: Algo Listed as a Service With Nothing Behind It
The main navigation lists “Algo” as a full category alongside Equity, Commodity, Combo Packs, and Index. Clicking through reveals no service description, no compliance disclosure, and no pricing information.
SEBI requires specific disclosures for algorithm-based research services.
A category in the main navigation with zero supporting compliance content is either a live service without the required disclosures or a placeholder left in place without being removed.
Either situation is worth verifying directly with the firm before assuming you are paying for a properly disclosed service.

Conclusion
The Wealth Key Research holds a valid SEBI registration. Anupam Shrivastava cleared the eligibility requirements and the registration is current.
What the registration cannot tell you is whether the marketing language, complaint disclosure, refund policy, prcing structure, and algo listing meet the standards that registration implies. Five specific red flags appear when you look at the firm’s own website. None of them require outside information. They are all there, visible, before you pay a rupee.
