| 3. Do not fall prey to emails and SMSs luring you to trade in stock/ securities promising huge profits. | |
| 4. Ensure to fill all the required details in KYC document by yourself and receive duly signed copy of your KYC documents from your broker. Check for all conditions that have been agreed and accepted by you | |
| 5. Opt for electronic (e-mail) contract notes/financial statements only if you are computer savvy and have an e-mail account of your own. Don’t ignore any e-mails/SMSs received with regards to trades done by you. Verify the details of the same and report discrepancy, if any, to your broker in writing immediately | |
| 6. Trade verification facility is also available on BSE website. | |
| 7. Check the frequency of accounts settlement opted for and verify your monthly/quarterly settlement statements. Any discrepancies observed therein should be brought to the notice of your broker in writing immediately. |
