• In case a referred client completes his/her account opening within 60 days of being referred, using the same contact number & email ID as the client referring had inputted during referring such client, it would be recognised as a “Completed Referral”.

• All Completed Referrals who have opened an account on or after January 1, 2020 will be eligible for brokerage sharing towards clients/referees who have referred clients under this Referral Incentive Scheme.
• Mapping will only be considered to introducer/referrer having a prospect sign up and register initially. If the client is already registered and then later uses an introducer/referrer's affiliate link to complete the account opening process, this new account will not be mapped to the referrer.
2. To begin earning incentives as per this scheme, an existing client would have at least 5 Completed Referrals against his/her Client ID/trading account. Referred clients from one Client ID are not transferable to another Client ID in any way possible.

• In case any client under a Client ID is eligible to withdraw an amount (i.e. the amount payable is above Rs. 1000 post deductions, and the client has 5 Completed Referrals), he/she shall withdraw such amount within a period of 365 days from such date of being eligible to withdraw. In case such amount is not withdrawn within 365 days from such date of eligibility, all such eligible amount payable shall lapse for the client.
• No eligible amount shall be paid out to any client, in case the Client ID/trading account of the client has been closed/deactivated for any reason whatsoever.
• All eligible amounts available for withdrawal will be deposited towards the client’s linked bank account which is in his/her own name and not in any other person’s name.
