How to Verify a Market Adviser or Research Provider in India

A practical identity, registration, payment, communication and complaint-route checklist for market participants.

Before paying for market guidance, verify who is providing it, what service is being offered and which official channels are used. A polished social profile is not sufficient verification.

Verify identity and applicable registration

Check the legal or business identity, published contact information and applicable registration through the relevant official source. Match the name and details instead of relying on a forwarded certificate image.

  • Provider name
  • Official website and contact
  • Applicable registration details
  • Published complaint route

Inspect the service and payment journey

Understand scope, duration, fees, taxes, cancellation terms and official payment beneficiary. Avoid personal accounts, urgency and claims of certain returns.

Preserve official communication

Keep agreements, invoices and service messages. Do not share broker passwords, trading PINs, OTPs or remote-device access with anyone claiming to provide guidance.
