- Q: A well known stock broking company (Raligare) approached me and asked me to invest a lump sum with a promise to multiply money. With the greed I invested Rs. 510,000 and signed an agreement without knowing the complete details. I invested the money by May 2009 and by August the value was reduced to Rs. 45,000. When I approached the higher authorities by then without any sympathy they were telling they were not God to multiply the money. They question how can I rely the words of an employee who was just getting a salary of Rs 20,000 a month. further they simply said that I shall approach SEBI or any other regulatory. Is their way of dealing with their customer right? I know I will not get back my money. But I do not want some other common man like me to loose his money like me. Can you do something to help the common man? I am ready to provide details if needed. I contacted SEBI but it was on no use. Though it is 2 years old I want to share it with you.
