1) did karvy stock broking offer you guaranteed returns

2) in stock market you trade at your own peril .

3) stock broker can merely guide you but do not promise any returns . stock market by nature is volatile

4) it is necessary to go through MCA agreement signed by you

5) further the claim filed by you with arbitrators need to be perused and reply filed by Karvy .

6) if The branch manager has given you letter promising you to refund your money then you can hold the company liable provided it is as per terms of agreement signed by you with the broker

during pendency of arbitration case in SEBI u cannot take any other legal steps against that

ex-branch manager.

yes, it is cheating and breach of trust.

Hello,

If Karvy Broking Company offered you huge profit in return for your investment and had stated so in the agreement you signed, then you can claim your refund and as the ex manager has has gotten a written assurance on the company letterhead with company seal this can be shown as evidence before the arbitrator.

Usually the the returns from share market are always quite volatile and the risk factor is always there as the business is quite speculative in nature.

Since you have already approached the Arbitrator you need to wait until his Verdict and take further steps accordingly

Hi,

Legally at present you can do nothing since the matter is before the arbitrator . SEBI shall not look into this as per the general procedure, once the matter filed before the arbitrator ,the application before the ISC(Investor service center) shall be closed. Only option is an appeal after the arbitrator award or order

If there is an agreement holding the trading firm for the loss you can get them liable to pay it.

The manager who worked for the company is liable to the company and if he has agreed in writing to return the money , the company is liable to pay.

1. Investing in share market is a risky venture,

2. No body can guarantee good returns for such investment,

3. Such returns are totally market oriented which fluctuates depending on various economic factors,

4. Stock Broking Firm or a broker can nor guarantee good return,

5. The Stock Broking Firm can not be directed to return your investment by SEBI.

1. Does the agreement, which you signed with Karvy, contain an explicit promise that you will get good returns on your investment? If such a promise has been articulated in the agreement you can sue karvy.

2. Investment in share market is by its very nature full of uncertainty as to its result. SEBI cannot order karvy to refund your investment as you invested your money at your own peril knowing fully well that it may not yield the desired result.

Dear Querist

As per contract act, the company is also liable for an act of Agent/representative, so the company as well as that manager, both are liable to be prosecuted under court of Law for civil and criminal cases.

as per your information that the manager has issued a written promise to return the money then first of all send a legal notice to him and demand your money back within 7 days from the receipt of the notice, if he is not ready to pay then you may file a civil suit for recovery against the manager.

as the SEBI is involved in this matter and matter is pending before arbitrator then till the final disposal of the arbitration proceedings, you should wait and watch....

Yes it will amount to criminal breach of trust fraud and cheating.you can sue the company manager and other staffs who are involved in the same.file a civil suit for recovering the same and lodge a police complaint for cheating fraud and criminal breach of trust
