1. consumer court will not entertain your complaint since an investment element is involved

2. you can take protection under the WBPIDFE

3. before civil money suit, write a complaint to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and mark a letter to the defaulter

4. civil suit takes time. so its better to try other options first

All these options you have mentioned can be exercised simultaneously.

Since Karvy is registered with SEBI, the second option does not apply to it.

Please refer to the agreement papers as it is likely to contain Arbitration clause whereby a listed person is to be appointed as Arbitrator to adjudicate the dispute though you can also proceed with the consumer case as well.

the investments in stock market, mutual funds are subject to market risk.

the above issue has been very clearly advertised in all the brochures.

you should have analysed all the risk factor before making an investment.

the broker will approach you with sweet words, it is your prudence which makes your investment wise or a mistake.

you may decide to approach consumer forum if the deficiency in service is observed.

you cannot file any recovery suit for recovering your money or investment.

1. Consumer court

2. West Bengal Protection of Interest of Depositors in Financial Establishments (WBPIDFE) Act

3. Civil money suit against Karvy Wealth Management

out of the three options you have proposed, in my opinion, you may approach consumer forum alone for speedy action and a positive result.

Hi

First of all send them a legal notice for their act. If you do not receive their reply within 30 days then, straight away file a consumer complaint before the State Commission.

1. It appears that Karvy Wealth Management was the Issue Manager of the said NCD issued by PDMREA.

2. You shall have to carefully study the brochure issued by the above parties inviting applications from the public for investing in the said NCD with the stated promises of return.

3. If you detect and act of deficiency in service and/or unfair business practice on the part of the associated parties in dealing with you, then file a complaint case before the local District Consumer Dispute Redressal Forum against all those parties named by you in your post alleging deficiency in service and unfair business practice claiming refund of the amount paid by you with the assured interest/return, damage and cost.
