New Delhi, Dec 30 (NationPress) - The BSE Limited has issued a warning to investors regarding an individual named Aditya Rishab Mishra, who is reportedly providing unauthorized investment services. Investors are strongly advised to steer clear of any products he promotes.
According to an official statement, Mishra is allegedly giving out investment and trading advice, along with account management services, without the required registration from SEBI.
"Investors should be aware that these individuals or entities are not registered as members or Authorized Persons of any registered member of BSE Limited. The Exchange offers a verification facility for checking the registration of intermediaries through the links available on its website," the statement emphasized.
Investors are further urged not to disclose their trading credentials, such as user IDs or passwords, to anyone when trading or managing their portfolios.
The BSE cautioned that such schemes carry considerable risks and do not offer investor protection or dispute resolution options. It recommended that investors verify the registration status of intermediaries or the enlistment of Investment Advisors (IAs) or Research Analysts (RAs) on its website.
Additionally, the BSE has consistently encouraged investors to utilize SEBI’s portal for accessing investor protection and dispute resolution services.
It is important to note that engaging in these unauthorized schemes is at the investors’ own risk, cost, and consequences, as these schemes are neither sanctioned nor endorsed by the Exchange.
Recently, SEBI has also raised alarms about unregistered investment advisory services being offered by entities that falsely assert registration with SEBI or display counterfeit certificates supposedly issued by the regulator.
To combat market manipulation, a Market Intelligence portal has been established for market participants to report any market abuse.
Furthermore, SEBI has prohibited its registered intermediaries and their agents from associating in any capacity, either financially or otherwise, with unregistered entities for the promotion or advertisement of their services.
