Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Mumbai, April 10 (NationPress) The National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) has issued a warning to traders and investors regarding interactions with unauthorised individuals who provide stock market tips and promise assured returns, highlighting incidents involving online platforms.
The exchange identified an individual named 'Nitin', who runs a Telegram channel called 'Everyday Power Of Stocks'. He is accused of offering stock market advice with claims of guaranteed returns and providing account management services to investors.
Another case involves 'Satendra Dubey', linked to a company known as 'Wealth Trading', who is reportedly engaged in illegal trading activities through various online channels, including a website, mobile application, and social media platforms such as Facebook groups and Instagram.
The NSE emphasized that these individuals are not registered as trading members or authorized representatives of any of its accredited entities.
In its advisory, the exchange urged investors to refrain from subscribing to any schemes or products that guarantee returns in the securities market, as such practices are illegal.
Investors are also advised against sharing sensitive trading information like user IDs and passwords with any third parties.
Furthermore, the NSE stated that details regarding registered brokers and authorized individuals can be verified using the 'Know/Locate your Stock Broker' feature on its official website.
The exchange warned that engaging in these unauthorised schemes poses significant risks to investors, as they are not recognized or supported by the NSE.
“If disputes arise from these illegal activities, investors will lack access to exchange-backed protections such as investor safeguards, dispute resolution, and grievance redressal mechanisms,” the exchange noted.
In related news, early trading on Friday saw domestic equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty both rise by 1 percent.
