What is SCORES and How to File a Complaint on SCORES Platform? 🏛️

Author: @nkit

Many investors face problems like no response from companies, dividend not received, or issues with delisted shares.

To protect investors, SEBI has created a powerful online system called SCORES.

In this blog, you will learn:

• What SCORES platform is
• When you should use it
• Step-by-step process to file a complaint
• What happens after you file a complaint

Everything is explained in simple and easy words. 😊


What is SCORES? 🤔

SCORES stands for:

SEBI Complaints Redress System

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.


Who Can Use SCORES Platform? 👥

SCORES can be used by:

Share market investors
Mutual fund investors
Bond or debenture holders
• Investors holding delisted shares

Both retail and small investors can file complaints easily.


When Should You File a Complaint on SCORES? ⏰

You should approach SCORES only after:

✔ You have contacted the company or intermediary
✔ You did not receive a reply
✔ The issue is still unresolved

SCORES is not the first step, but the final escalation step.


Common Issues You Can Report on SCORES ⚠️

• Non-receipt of dividend
Share transfer or Demat issues
• Delisted company share problems
Buyback or bonus issues
Misconduct by broker or intermediary

This number is important for tracking.


What Happens After You File a Complaint? 🔄

SEBI acts as a monitor, not a judge.
