NSE extends deadline for investors to file claims against Karvy Stock Broking

The National Stock Exchange on Friday announced an extension, to March 31, 2026, of the deadline for investors to file claims against defaulting broker Karvy Stock Broking Ltd, following advice from market regulator SEBI. The earlier timeline for filing claims was up to June 2, 2025, the statement said.

Karvy was declared a defaulter by the exchange on November 23, 2020. As per NSE bye-laws, rules and regulations, claims against the default broker were invited from investors.

The exchange urged the investors to take note of the above timelines and urged them to file their claims online at the NSE website (https://www.nseindia.com/complaints/details-to-be-provided-for-lodging-claims) before the stipulated timeline, if not lodged already.

Alternatively, the claim form, duly filled and signed, along with the relevant documents, may also be sent in physical form to the Defaulters’ Section at the offices of the Exchange, the statement said. For this purpose, the format of the claim form may be downloaded from https://www.nseindia.com or obtained from the corporate office at Mumbai or the regional or branch offices of the exchange.

“However, the Exchange urges all claimants to make use of the online claim lodgement facility as mentioned above for better tracking of your claims,” it noted.

An investigation into Karvy Stock Broking Ltd. found that the firm failed to report a depository participant in filings with regulators and exchanges.
