Android Foreign Trade Portal Applications in India. What SEBI (securities exchange board of India) Says about foreign trade portals?
In recent
period i am seeing lot of online Advertisements of applications used to
participate online foreign trade. The main apps where OLYMB TRADE, BINMO,
IQ OPTION and more, all advertisements are saying about being financially
rich by using these application to trade in foreign exchange. So I went to Google playstore to see those apps, while I searching the reviews of those
apps I found lot of negative comments from the users, that they got cheated. In
between I have found one or two good comments too. So I searched on the internet about the
investment in foreign trade portals are legal or illegal in India, I found the first organic search result was form an Indian government
sites called SEBI (securities exchange board of India) and its
clearly mentioned that investors in India are being
offered services by various firms through online web portals to trade in a
variety of financial products including various types of derivatives, which are
apparently traded on overseas platform/exchange. These firms are operating from
overseas, but providing/offering services to Indian residents. These
firms/entities in order to attract clients solicit their business through
various means of communications such as electronic messages, blogs,
advertisements, websites, emails, leaflets/pamphlets, apps, calls etc., and
also many such entities/portals offer free online registration without
complying with the basic Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures and often offer
high level of leverage, low brokerage and other incentives for trading on
overseas platform/exchange.
Such
firms/web-portals/platforms are not supervised by any Regulatory body in India.
Further, the inherent complexity of the products offered by such
firms/web-portals/platforms may not suit the risk profile of the investors and
their excessive leverage can result in significant losses to investors.
In
view of above, all investors are cautioned to avoid participating in such
unregulated web portals / entities offering transactions in securities
(including derivatives) which are executed or undertaken on the terminal of
foreign exchanges/platforms. The investors may also note that for any kind
of claim/dispute relating to such participation or enforcement of any
agreement/contract/claim, etc., the following recourses shall not be available
to them:
·
Rights of investors under bye-laws/regulations of
Recognized Stock Exchange(s) and investor protection under Indian securities
laws.
·
Dispute resolution mechanism administered by
Recognized Stock Exchange(s).
·
Investor grievance redressal mechanism administered
by Recognized Stock Exchange(s).
