Beware of 'TradeInn' Dabba Trading Platform, NSE Files Police Complaint
Moneylife Digital Team 17 July 2026
The National Stock Exchange of India Ltd (NSE) has cautioned investors against dealing with an entity named 'TradeInn', which is allegedly offering illegal or dabba trading services. The exchange says a person identifying herself as 'Disha', operating through mobile number 7974092256 and the website tradeinn.in is providing unauthorised trading services. NSE has also lodged a police complaint in the matter.
 
In a press release, NSE advised investors not to subscribe to any schemes or products offered by unregistered persons or entities in the securities market, reminding them that such activities are prohibited under law. 
 
The Exchange further clarified that neither the individual nor the entity is registered as an NSE trading member or an authorised person of any registered member. Investors can verify the credentials of registered brokers through NSE's 'know/locate your stock broker' facility before dealing with any intermediary.
 
NSE also highlighted the legal consequences of engaging in dabba trading. Under Section 23(1) of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act (SCRA), 1956, persons violating provisions relating to illegal trading can face imprisonment of up to 10 years, a fine of up to ₹25 crore, or both. Such offences are cognisable under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, allowing state law enforcement agencies to investigate them. Dabba trading may also attract provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023.
 
The exchange reiterated that illegal trading platforms are neither recognised nor endorsed by NSE and that investors participating in such platforms do so entirely at their own risk, cost and consequences.
 
NSE further warned that investors who deal with prohibited schemes or illegal trading platforms will not be entitled to the protections available under the Exchange's regulatory framework. These include access to the Exchange's dispute resolution mechanism and the investor grievance redressal mechanism.
 
The exchange urged investors to exercise caution and deal only through SEBI-registered brokers to safeguard their investments and avoid becoming victims of illegal trading operations.
