ODR Dispute Resolution

We – sharemarketlegalhelp.com is India’s Only Legal Support Platform Dedicated to Investor Grievance Redressal via SCORES & SEBI SMART ODR Portals

What is Scores?

SCORES (SEBI Complaints Redress System) is the official online platform launched by SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) to address complaints from investors in the Indian securities market. It allows aggrieved investors to file complaints directly against:

  • Stock brokers and sub-brokers
  • Mutual funds and Asset Management Companies (AMCs)
  • Depositories, depository participants
  • Listed companies
  • RTAs (Registrar and Transfer Agents)
  • Investment advisors, research analysts, etc.

Once a complaint is filed through SCORES, SEBI mandates a 30-day resolution timeline for the entity to respond.

What Is SMART ODR?

SMART ODR (Securities Market Approach for Resolution Through Online Dispute Resolution) is SEBI’s latest initiative to promote tech-enabled conciliation and arbitration between investors and market participants, especially when issues are not fully resolved through SCORES or intermediary routes.
