FAQs on Authorized Person

What is the difference between Sub Broker and Authorised Person?

Sub Brokership is no longer issued to new applicants by SEBI. To make the process smooth, SEBI has allowed Exchanges to grant permission to individuals, firms or corporates to register as Authorised Person (AP). They can be the intermediaries for equity investment and trade by individuals or entities. For all practical purposes both are equivalent.

How much is the total Investment required for becoming an Authorised Person?

Application Fees and Security Deposit : Rs. 75000/- , Voice Logger: 4000/-, Exchange registration fees: 2000/- per segment. Apart from these if AP wishes to have his own office set up, he can acquire asset & infrastructure as per his requirement.

How do I join as an AP?

Our RM will get in touch with you shortly after you fill up your details here. Once you decide to apply, our RM would provide you the application form which is required to be filled and submitted to him along with required documents. RM will then send it to the central operations team in Mumbai who will apply to exchanges like BSE & NSE as per requirement. Post approval from exchanges the registration code is intimated to you along with Node Id. You can start sourcing clients at this point of time. However to start trading, you are required to provide NISM Certificates (NISM VII for Equity and NISM VIII for Derivatives) along with user details.

Our RM will assist you in all the above.

What are the regulatory requirements for becoming an Authorized Person?

Mandatory Display at the Outlet: There are some documents that needs to be displayed for visibility of customers vising a Authorised Person outlet. Eg. NSE / BSE Notice Board (as applicable), Customer Greivance Redressal Notification, Principal Officer , NISM Certification, NSE/BSE Investor awareness notification, Broker registration with SEBI in required segment.
