Complaint against Companies

Investor Grievances

BSE has established a Department of Investors Services (DIS) to redress investors' grievances. Since its establishment in 1986, the DIS has played a pivotal role in enhancing and maintaining investors' faith and confidence by resolving their grievances either against listed companies or against BSE's Trading Members.

Investors Grievances against Listed Companies

Investors are expected to submit their complaints in the prescribed Complaint form at the address mentioned below or to the nearest Regional Investor Service Centre of BSE or submit via email on is@bseindia.com along with necessary supporting documents. While registering a complaint, kindly ensure valid email id and mobile number is entered. The complaint will be taken in records once all the required details are clearly given in the prescribed complaint form with signature of the complainant.

Investor can also lodge a complaint through email or through the facility provided on BSE's website under Investor section " e-Complaint Registration"

Additionally, investor can also lodge a complaint on SCORE, a web based centralized grievance redressal system of SEBI.

Investors' complaints against listed companies are forwarded by BSE to the concerned companies, with a copy sent to the complainant. The investors are advised to inform BSE if the complaints are not resolved within 30 days. If a company fails to redress the complaint within 30 days, BSE sends a reminder to the company and follows-up with the companies and / or their Registrar & Transfer Agents, to resolve such complaints.

Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has issued circular No. SEBI/HO/OIAE/IGRD/CIR/P/ 2020/152 dated August 13, 2020, regarding handling of SCORES complaints by Stock Exchanges and Standard Operating Procedure for non-redressal of grievances by listed companies.

A "Z" category company indicates that it has not complied with various provisions of the Listing Regulations. Through creation of "Z' category, BSE cautions investors to be more careful in their investments in such companies.

Visit of Registrar & Transfer Agents to BSE

BSE regularly organizes visits of Registrars & Transfer Agents (RTAs) at its Registered Office to allow Trading Members and / or Investors to have direct interface with Registrars of listed companies for redressal of complaints against companies listed on BSE.
