The National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) has cautioned investors against three Telegram channels, ‘The trade free’, ‘Trade with Anjali’ and ‘Trade with Neha’, for allegedly providing securities market tips and offering account handling services. The Exchange said the entities operating these channels are not registered as members or authorised persons of any registered NSE member.
According to NSE in a press release, the Telegram channel ‘The trade free’ is operating through t.me/freetradethe. The exchange said the channel is providing securities market tips and account handling services to investors.
In a separate caution, NSE named two more Telegram channels ‘Trade with Anjali’, available at t.me/ANJALITRADING_hse6, and ‘Trade with Neha’, available at t.me/xauusdgold_hse5. According to the Exchange, both channels are providing securities market tips and account-handling services.
NSE cautioned investors against subscribing to any scheme or product offered by persons or entities promising indicative, assured or guaranteed returns in the stock market, as such offers are prohibited by law. It also advised investors not to share their trading credentials, including user ID and password, with anyone.
Investors can verify whether a person or entity is registered with NSE by using the Exchange's
know/locate your stock broker facility. NSE said the facility provides details of registered members and their authorised persons. It also displays designated client bank accounts disclosed by trading members for receiving or making payments to investors.
The Exchange further advised investors to check these details before dealing with any person or entity offering investment-related services. The consolidated list of investor-related press releases issued by NSE is available at
NSE's investor advisories.
NSE also made it clear that participation in such prohibited schemes is at the investor's own risk, cost and consequences, as these schemes are neither approved nor endorsed by the Exchange.
Importantly, investors who participate in such schemes will not be eligible for certain protections and grievance mechanisms offered through the Exchange. NSE said the benefits of investor protection under its jurisdiction, the Exchange dispute resolution mechanism and the investor grievance redressal mechanism administered by the Exchange will not be available for disputes relating to such prohibited schemes.
