Bad customer support

if anthing happens you will become a dog waiting for a bone
use at your own risk.
support only good for account opening and asking info

if u initiate a support they say sir what's your problem
then they talk to u for 15 minutes. then say wait 24 to 48 hours

After 48 hours when u ask updates they again ask sir what's the problem?
you again explain everything

then different person call sir what's the problem?
it might take months for even simple issues.

No coordination
No follow ups

Funvasia is really a very bad portal. Noone here to support customer, as a customer I tried to connect customer support Noone there to support. After ivr, u will listen only music for long term as much as u can wait as a customer.

Shoonya by Finvasia provides a smooth trading experience because of its user-friendly interface. So far my experience has been quite good, though there were some bugs in the app, but they seem to be fixed now. Also, they are improving their app according to the feedback.

I recently started dealing with Finvasia, and let me tell you, it's been nothing short of amazing. Their Carefree method of trading with no costs is innovative. I've had speedy executions, helpful research, and, yep, zero brokerage in just a week! It's not simply trading; it's trading in the right manner.

Ekdum bekaar broker. Brokrages 0 hone ke karan isme account open kia but agar aapko kisi bhi haal mein customer service se help mangni pad gai toh unko kuch pata nahi h woh ekdum anpadh beithe h aap 1 2 baar bol denge toh yeh call cut kar denge ya fir chat close kar denge. Ek dum ghatiya service kuch nahi aata inko jo customer service par beithe hein. I put a withdrawl req lets see they give my money back or not.

Still I am going to put an email over the SEBI for this kind of broker. I read the reviews and found many persons are already suffering from their working style.

Shoonya is a real innovator! In the world of trading, their original zero brokerage concept is a breath of new air. Even more special is their dedication to ensuring customer satisfaction. They were quick to return the money when a problem occurred. Excellent customer service and a ground-breaking idea:

According to me, A best Broker for All Types of Segment. Brokerage is Fully '0' for every segment.
But just 1 problem i.e. Customer Care executives not receives call. You have to call 3 to 4 times to connect with them.

I like Finvasia for minimum brokerage and other charges. I usually trade in F&O with multiple positions with 0 brokerage. With other brokers this costs more than ₹600 per day means ₹12000 a month. Other apps and softwares are nice.

hello friends,
I will rate customer service as ZERO. No one responds from shoonya for any issue raised. I am struggling to download my Tax P&L report to file my IT return for past 1 week. funny part is shoonya donot even respond to the email. I have used their all the escalation levels. funny part is contact number mentioned to their CEO lands up to their customer support and it seems they donot have any grievance mechanism. I have stopped trading from finvasia starting today 21-July-2023. Please never fall in trap for cheap brokerage. go for better customer service which other brokers are proving like ZERODHA,KOTAK,ICICIDIRECT,HDFC etc. Please do comment me if my feedback here helped any of retail investors with their hard earned money. One more thing with the 0 brokerage you end up taking more trades and end up paying more STT and end up losing side. Good luck.Happy Trading.
DONOT FALL IN TRAP FOR CHEAP BROKERAGES BUT LOOK FOR BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICES.

The site has a very poor usability ratings. Many times we end up loosing more money due to site issues than the money saved due to 0 brokerage. Not at all good for option and intra-day traders. Site has connectivity issue almost every morning. Almost every monday they have funds update issue. And have major glitches at least once a month.
