It's a hopeless platform and never shows real time updates, execution order gets exhausted not executed without clues and valid reason, invalid customer care response,you may also find your stock has been sold on screen.& never expect response from back end.
Rediculous.

SBICAP Securities is shameless and does not care about customer complaints. I am an NRI customer and my account is locked. I have made several complains., escalated these complains from last 7 months , however my issue is still not resolved. So do not boast about customer grievances as they are the worst in the world. My customer id is N7024127 and my email id is jasnanda@hotmail.com if you wish to help me.. Thanks

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to share a nightmare experience with SBI Capital Securities. I applied to subscribe e-token-based Speed-E facility. to transfer securities to another account. First of all, SBI Cap agent is incapable, unqualified, and incompetent to resolve any kind of issue. I submitted all forms that would be required to obtain Speed-E access. After submission, call every single day at 022-2269316510 to speak with a supervisor from the Escalation department. They deliberately avoided my call, and the agent said they were busy with other client (Called Big Mouth) . Finally, I decided to file a complaint against SBI cap securities since my issue has been pending more than 1 month. Recently, NSE started a new platform for consumers to file complaints against any broker for any issue. Please see the Link and share it with others who want to file a complaint.

SBI Securities is overpriced and compared to leading brokers slower in everything as well as their app is not comparable in terms of user friendliness to the best who are charging far lesser

They are still living well in the past.. how people tolerate their charges is a mystery

Please don't trust SBICAP.they are going to cheat you.You can never became rich if you are thinking of SBICAP for trading.
My personal experience is so bad that I lost thousands of rupees.especially intraday trading.They stops taking orders at 3.10PM, so you cant do anything, also if your orders or positions are pending then 100% you are going to loss because they don't want you become rich.
Their software is also create problem and doesn't play smoothly. I put all my investment back to benarmstrong-trades, I buy investment plans and do copy trading and I’m getting over 16k weekly that I why I stop using SBI.
On SBI I sold 2000 RCOM intraday around 3pm at Rs.16.15 and I placed order of buying Rs.15.70 immediately as usual they cancelled my order 3.10PM and they placed another order of buying Rs.16.45 while the ongoing rate was Rs.16.05 luckily the rate remains constant and finally system bought 2000 shares at Rs.16.05. in last 10 minutes of market closing.but what will happened if rate goes high I might lost my money. Benarmstrong-trades are far reliable.

Very poor helpdesk.Evertime you make a call you keep repeating the Story to everyone attending to the call even if the complaint is the same. No one from management seems to be involved in resolution of pending issues even if it is six months old. No transparency in helpdesk. Complete chaos in data management. Different sets of data pops up in different windows for the same query. Poorly designed web platform, appears to have been designed by amateur even though the copyright is of TCS
