I have a very active demat account with icicidirect for more than 15 years, on 5th Sept 2023, my account was blocked for want of KYC without any prior KYC request from icicidirect. Now, it is almost 2 months, my account is still blocked for the same reason, though I have updated the KYC with them twice, but was rejected . Please guide me

All the people from this company are not responding Including help desk , Ceo , Rm , everyone are fake people .please guys requesting you all dont go for this company . I am not able to post the screen shot what the way they behave with me is so rude and dont talk properly ,they receive the call and keep it aside . This is there duty only to make loss and they earn there brokerage charges so that they can earn money and loose our money.

Totally agree, ICICI service desk is pathetic - if you talk reason with them then they try not to understand and with some pretext of bad connection your call is disconnected. People responding emails are totally bad - just use copy paste as response without even reading/understanding question.

Other responsible people are black box - not even acknowledgement of problem.

I have made complaint on icici direct and not received any reply even after 2 weeks. Do any one face below issue?
If you buy a share today at Rs.4000 and it shows same price in order and trade book. Buying Charges also got debited separately from account.
Then on next day, in portfolio it shows i bought price at 4018rs per share (Even I removed protection 3%. With protection or without protection, share on buying day is different and next day in portfolio is different). I got charged during both buying and selling separately.

I have given a request to close my ICICI direct account and have never done a transaction in ages.

The Helpdesk of ICICI direct keeps lingering and sitting on it.

Further to keep my Account Active ICICI Direct is buying ETFs on their own and are harassing me. I have escalated to its COO.

I would be proceeding legally now against ICICI Direct and file for Fraud, harassment, damages.

Please DONOT deal with ICICI Direct.

ICICI Direct deducted money from my account for IPO allotment but didn't credited shares even after 3 weeks of IPO closure.
How they can do this, seems like way of minting money from unsuspecting customers.
I realized this anomaly only when cross checked my demat account for shares after long time.

I have two accounts in ICICI Direct . Com for approximate 25 years . I have diverted my fund to other Securities since I found deterioration in its performance over the years. I donot recommend
any new person to open the account in ICICI Direct since it does not believe in Customer Satisfaction. They force fully assign RM and donot change them even after transfer. I rate their services Far below Satisfactory

I am also a icicidirect customer since their inception into this business, brokerage is definitely very high, secondly to get an KYC updated I am struggling since 2019, even repeated mails to the company secretary could not yield any result it"s gone that bad

Icici direct square off futures short positions on the same day and 20 7 days before expiry without customer consent or information, for all in the money trades , causing huge loss to traders , and their customer service could not provide solutions for multiple problems raised.

My square off order was cancelled and at the end of the day futures went below my square off position which would have made my trade a gain rather ICICI direct squared off my positions within an hour of my open position without my consent and passed on the loss to me.

I strongly believe they are manipulating the share market by changing customer orders for their benefits.

Hi Deepak,
I agree with you that good service comes at a cost but if the cost is too high it doesn''t make sense. The profit you makes reduces significantly. I had a icici account for over 7 year but now moved to a discount broker. The service is not bad but savings are great.

I still use ICICIDirect for IPO''s. If any shares are allocated, I transfer it to my other broker account and sell it from there.

ICICIDIRECT charges the highest brokerage amongst all the brokers & gives the least benefits. Further there is no response for days from the icicdirect unless one write again & again
