See if you have signed any terms and condition with angel broking regarding the limit and liability of your Demat account.

So in the case they can recover the amount you have been allowed to trade and also you can be made liable for the same amount you agreed to pay. Like if the limit was 6 times vide terms and condition has only liability to pay that amount is in respect to the 6 time limit only.

Also check your transition details and file complaint regarding same. Complain directly to the brokerage or investment advisory firm in writing and keep a copy for your own records. First communicate your concerns to your broker, then to the manager of your broker’s or advisor’s office. Keep a copy of the complaint in your records. Follow-up immediately if you do not receive a satisfactory response to your complaint. If you get no response to your letter or you feel like the firm is stalling you should complaint to the appropriate Exchange.

NSE Investor Service Centre (NICE) (if applicable in your case as not stock exchange mentioned by you) allows to file complaint online.

Angel Broking would invoke arbitration clause and lodge claim against you to recover Rs 325000

2) you can take the defence that angel Broking ought not to have permitted you to trade beyond Rs 82716 ie 6 times limit of your investment

Now they are pressuring me to pay the loss amount of Rs 325000 Approx. which is completely illegal. I should not be allowed to buy these many shares on the Price of Rs 2.20, with an investment amount of Rs 13786 only.

They said they will take legal action against me.

While the trading was going on it was well within your knowledge but you preferred not to interfere in that and had been enjoying the benefits till the time you started incurring the losses.

Now you claim innocence on the basis of technical issues and refuse to pay back the amount of loss incurred by you at this stage.

You should have instructed the broker to stop trading in that heavy volume when it came to your notice, but you remained silent then.

You may have to accept the liability.

However you may wait for the legal notice and then decide about the next course of action.

You can engage an experienced lawyer with good knowledge about trading activities of stock market and give a fitting reply denying the demands made by them and can shift the blame on the technical issues against them.
