BSE resolves 150 investor complaints against companies in May
New Delhi, June 1
Bombay Stock Exchange announced on Monday that it had resolved 150 complaints from investors against 99 companies in the month of May.
Meanwhile, the stock exchange received 166 complaints against 111 companies during the month, it said in a statement.
The resolved complaints include those brought forward from previous periods. Further, the stock exchange informed that the top three companies where complaints have been pending for redressal for more than one month as of May include JSW Steel Limited, Filatex Fashions Limited, and Asian Bearings Limited.
BSE Limited had in April 2026 resolved 183 investor complaints against 117 companies, including grievances carried forward from previous reporting periods.
During the month, the exchange received 168 complaints against 117 companies, while it disposed of 183 complaints against 128 companies, indicating that resolutions exceeded fresh complaints.
The exchange had earlier advised investors not to not subscribe to any scheme or product offered by any person or entity offering indicative or assured returns in the stock market as the same is prohibited by law.
It also advised investors not to share their trading credentials such as user id/password with anyone for trading in their account/handling of the portfolio.
These schemes involve significant risks and do not provide access to investor protection or dispute resolution mechanisms. It urged investors to check registration of its intermediaries, or enlistment of Investment Advisors (IA) or Research Analysts (RA) on its website.
Further, the RBI generates public awareness about safe digital practices through campaigns across TV, print, SMS, and digital platforms such as the RBI Kehta Hai campaign and BE(A)WARE' booklet, to educate consumers on fraud types and redressal mechanisms.
SEBI runs SCORES, or the Sebi Complaint Redressal System, an online platform that enables investors to file and track complaints against listed entities and Sebi-registered market intermediaries.

The RBI and SEBI awareness campaigns are helpful, but many retail investors still fall for 'guaranteed returns' schemes. The advice not to share trading credentials is crucial—my cousin lost money because of this. More financial literacy needed in regional languages! 📚
Resolution of 150 complaints is decent but why are companies like Asian Bearings and Filatex Fashions still pending? These are not huge firms but investors deserve faster action. BSE should publish monthly compliance scores for companies.
Impressive that BSE resolved more complaints than received in April (183 vs 168). Proactive investor protection is key for market growth. JSW Steel's pending complaints might be complex corporate matters, hope they get sorted soon.
The SCORES platform is a good initiative but the interface could be more user-friendly for first-time investors. Many elders in my family struggle with online complaints. Also, why is the article dated 2026? Hope that's a typo! 🧐
Good to see BSE taking action, but the real issue is that many investors don't even know about these complaint mechanisms. The RBI Kehta Hai campaign is helpful but needs more visibility on social media. Also, stock market investments are risky—always do your own research!
