I opened a Freedom Account in Apr'14 with Karvy with an attached benefit of "Reversal of 50% brokerage amount every month". Everything was fine until Karvy informed me that the said benefit would stop from Oct'16 and that I can get it provided I use their mobile application. Screen shot of their email dt 10 Aug'16 enclosed (https://scontent-sit4-1.xx.fbcdn.ne...=4e418e8590e4a9ea014af0fce7722520&oe=590FE636)
With "Reversal of 50% brokerage amount every month", my net brokerage was getting slashed by 50%. But by stopping "Reversal of 50% brokerage amount every month", my brokerage has virtually doubled.
This amounts to nothing but a monopolistic trade and an arm-twisting tactic.
My mail to the backoffice and to Compliance Officer has remained unanswered without telling me the reason why a client must use mobile app. and not desktop app.
I caution people to get every special condition or benefit duly incorporated in the agreement with any broker (especially Karvy) clearly mentioning the validity period, if any.
