It is an online platform created by SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) to help investors resolve their complaints.
If a company, broker, registrar, or mutual fund does not respond to you, SCORES is the official way to escalate the issue.

SCORES can be used by:
• Share market investors
• Mutual fund investors
• Bond or debenture holders

Both retail and small investors can file complaints easily.
When Should You File a Complaint on SCORES? ⏰

SCORES is not the first step, but the final escalation step.
Common Issues You Can Report on SCORES ⚠️
