Why am I getting frequent messages from NSE regarding funds and securities balance? (ICICI SECURITIES LIMITED on DD-MM-YY reported your Fund bal Rs. 0 & Securities bal 0. This excludes your Bank, DP & PMS bal with the broker - NSE.)

This SMS is sent by exchange as part of a regulatory requirement. All brokers must report funds and securities balance of clients to the exchange on a daily basis. The end of week balance reported by the brokers is disseminated to clients by the exchanges.

Please note:

• The date mentioned in the SMS may not be the same as the date you received it.
• This is because the SMS reflects your account balance as on the previous Saturday’s closing, and is typically sent a few days later. For example, you may receive a message on Tuesday, but the balances shown are as of the previous Saturday.
