NSE Warns Investors against ‘Vikash Singh Thakur’ X Account, ‘The Trading Doctor’ Telegram Channel
Moneylife Digital Team 12 August 2026
The National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) has cautioned investors against a social media account and a Telegram channel that are allegedly providing securities market tips and investment-related advice. In two separate releases, NSE said the X account ‘Vikash Singh Thakur’ and Telegram channel ‘The Trading Doctor’ are not registered with the Exchange.  
 
NSE in the release said the X account named ‘Vikash Singh Thakur’, available at x.com/OfficielVikash, is providing securities market tips on stock market investments. The Exchange said the person behind the account is neither a member nor an authorised person of any registered member of NSE. 
 
In another caution, NSE identified a Telegram channel named ‘The Trading Doctor’, available at t.me/TheTradiingDoctor, as providing securities market tips. The Exchange said the entity operating the channel is also not registered either as a member or an authorised person of any registered member of NSE. 
 
NSE advised investors not to subscribe to any scheme or product offered by individuals or entities promising indicative, assured or guaranteed returns in the stock market, as such offers are prohibited by law. Investors have also been cautioned against sharing their trading credentials, including user IDs and passwords, with anyone. 
 
The Exchange has asked investors to independently verify the credentials of any person claiming to be associated with a stockbroker. NSE provides a ‘know/locate your stock broker’ facility at, where investors can check registered members and their authorised persons. The facility also displays designated client bank accounts disclosed by trading members for receiving or paying money to investors. 
 
NSE has also provided a consolidated list of its investor-related advisories issued by the Exchange at https://www.nseindia.com/invest/advisory-for-investors . Investors can use the page to check warnings and advisories issued by NSE. 
 
The Exchange further warned that participation in such prohibited schemes would be at the investor’s own risk, cost and consequences, as these schemes are neither approved nor endorsed by NSE. 
 
Importantly, NSE said that investors who participate in such prohibited schemes will not have access to investor protection under the exchange’s jurisdiction, the Exchange’s dispute resolution mechanism or the investor grievance redressal mechanism administered by the Exchange.
