Do not share your account details, credentials, OTPs or personal details with anyone, including anyone claiming to represent a platform or intermediary.
Keep your mobile number and email updated with your stock broker, depository participant and mutual fund registrar, so that you receive alerts on transactions directly from the depository or exchange.
Check your securities, mutual fund and bond holdings in the consolidated account statement issued by NSDL or CDSL every month.
KYC is a one-time exercise while dealing in securities markets. Once KYC is completed through any SEBI-registered intermediary, you need not repeat it with another intermediary.
Be cautious of unsolicited emails, SMS and messages advising you to buy, sell or hold securities. Trade only on the basis of your own informed decision, after appropriate analysis, and not on rumours or tips.
