message from the sufferor /complaintant
Dear friends,
I would like to share my pathetic experience with the renouned brokerage
firm Sharekhan.
Around one and half months ago I opened an online share trading account with
Sharekhan in the name of my mother. She doesn't have much money to invest,
so whatever she has we planned to put it in the stock markets for
better-than- usual returns.
While opening the account, I was suggested by their representatives Mr.
Niladri and Mr. Sudipta to go for a prepaid account. In that way we'd have
to pay lesser money to open the account.
They told me to give two cheques (Rs 20000 and Rs 6000) separately. I asked
*Mr. Sudipta* about what would happen to the Rs 20000 and Rs 6000 that I pay
upfront? * He categorically replied that once the account is opened, we can
get it back anytime we wish *, and that I can even use the *TOTAL* (Rs
26000) money to buy shares in delivery. Sounded nice.
*But, after the account was opened, it was a different story.*
The 20000 was there in the margin account, but *there was no trace of the
remaining 6000*. Now, when I asked Mr. Niladri, he told me that the Rs 6000
has been kept by sharekhan as advance brokerage and that I will not get it
back again !!!
After writing to the sharekhan helpdesk for a number of times for the last
one month, I got a reply today. It read:
"Dear Sir/ Madam,
Greeting of the day to you,
At the outset we deeply regret the inconvenience caused to you
We would like to inform you that,we have converted your account from the
prepaid brokerage scheme and as confirmed on the AMC scheme document we
shall not refund the remaining amount in your account."
My mother is a small investor having very limited money to invest. Rs 6000
to her is a lot of money. This scheme is simply not for her. *She would have
gone for a normal postpaid account had we been told the truth* *while
opening the account*.
**
Friends, please suggest what should I do !
Is there any legal procedure in which I can take action against such menace
of Sharekhan? (I have one more account opening form of sharekhan with one
of my colleagues. I am planning to get it from him and study it in details
so that I can do something.)
*And friends, beware, think twice ... sorry ... think 200 times ... before
opening trading account with Sharekhan.*
Regards,
Debayan.
