Hi Guys,
I have seen many other forums. But this forum seems to be good and out spoken. This is my first post in 3 years. Let me share my set of grevience. In Reliance Money, they have a damn "f***ing" thing called "Square Off". Actually It should be renamed as "IP Square Off", (Investor Profit Square Off). I opened the account with them in the month of May 2007 because of cheap brokerage. But as one our fellow friend says "ITNA PAISA MAIN ITNA HI MILTA" (Some How managed to understand-I am a Madarasi), they are having pathetic service.
This square off thing squares off all the margin positions at 3.00 PM. Its starts at 2.52 PM NSE time and completes at around 3.10 PM. But in recent days as the customer base of Reliance swelled many fold their server is breaking down frequently. I was affected twice in this. I have already made around Rs.40,000/- loss out of this. The second one happened on 06.12.2007. They didnt square off the position. I dont know what will happen this time. This time defenitely its going to be around Rs.10,000/-. Because the shares which I shorted is UCOBANK
The quantity is 250 Nos and the selling price is Rs.58.80/-. It will reach auction market on 11 or 12th december 2007. Exactly the date on which the FED CUT is to be made. The customer care is total waste. This is the reply which i got from them when I shorted last time

Can anyone tell me what is the legal procedures which I can do. I have already threatened them that I would go to consumer court. Please help me with this.
I am very much "f***ed up when I received a mail with the end quoted as "Best Regards". They are very much happy that I have made a loss of Rs.40,000/-. That was the total money which I had at that time. I made upto 55,000/- in intra day and in this one short selling I lost my capital and profits.
Thanks and Regards
