Investor Caution and Exchange Warning

National Stock Exchange of India has issued a warning stating that a Telegram channel named “The trade free”, with the link https://t.me/freetradethe, is providing investors with securities market tips and account management services. The exchange has advised investors not to subscribe to any scheme or product from any person or entity that offers indicative, assured, or guaranteed returns in the stock market.

The exchange also clarified that the concerned person or entity is not registered as a member or authorized person of the National Stock Exchange of India Limited. Investors are advised not to share their trading credentials, such as user ID and password, with anyone.

Registration Verification and Dispute Resolution Scope

NSE stated that investors can check the details of registered members and their authorized persons using the “Know/Locate your Stock Broker” facility available on its website. The same link also provides details of client bank accounts as reported to the exchange by trading members, so investors can verify before transacting with any person or entity.

According to the exchange, participation in such prohibited schemes is at the investors’ own risk, cost, and consequences, as these are not approved or endorsed by NSE. In such cases, investors will not have access to investor protection, dispute resolution mechanisms, or investor grievance redressal mechanisms under the exchange’s jurisdiction.

That article also highlighted that such individuals/entities are not registered members or authorized persons of NSE, and investors were advised to verify using the “Know/Locate your Stock Broker” facility and not to share credentials.
