Details of Penalties

The non-compliances were operational in nature, relating to BSE circular requirements on terminal location and Authorized Person (AP) inspection. The company noted that a PIN code discrepancy, where 452003 was listed instead of 452001, arose due to changes in postal jurisdiction, while the address remained correctly mapped.

The company clarified that it acted merely as an intermediary providing a trading platform and that identifying such trades prior to execution is not practically possible.

The company has taken note of the observations and has undertaken necessary corrective and compliance measures. It has sensitized staff regarding required compliances through internal communications and training sessions. Both penalties were debited in April 2026.
