At FYERS, we aim to keep our clients informed about all regulatory or exchange-driven developments that may affect their holdings. A stock suspension refers to a temporary or permanent halt of trading in a particular stock on the exchange. During this period, no buy or sell transactions are permitted for that specific scrip.
Stock suspensions are typically imposed by the National Stock Exchange (NSE), Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), or SEBI due to regulatory or compliance-related issues. While such events are rare, understanding what they mean helps you take appropriate action when necessary.
Why Are Stocks Suspended?
Stocks may be suspended from trading for several reasons, including:
- Regulatory non-compliance — failure to adhere to listing or disclosure requirements set by the exchange.
- Financial irregularities — such as non-submission of audited results or default on statutory obligations.
- Corporate restructuring — mergers, amalgamations, or demergers that temporarily halt trading.
- Surveillance or disciplinary actions — initiated by SEBI or the stock exchange to protect investor interests.
- Operational reasons — for instance, a change in ISIN or company name that temporarily disrupts trading.
Important: Suspensions are imposed by the exchange or SEBI — not by FYERS. We immediately reflect any suspension status on our platforms to keep you informed and prevent unintended trades.
What Does It Mean for Investors?
If a stock is suspended while you hold it in your FYERS Demat account, here’s what you should know:
- You cannot place buy or sell orders for the suspended scrip until trading resumes.
- Your holdings remain visible in your FYERS portfolio, but the stock is not tradeable.
- The value of the stock may not update in real time during suspension.
- Once the company resolves the issue, exchanges may reinstate trading — but this can take weeks or months depending on regulatory review.
Impact on Orders and Holdings at FYERS
- Pending orders in the suspended stock are automatically cancelled once suspension is announced.
- Intraday or delivery trades are halted immediately for compliance.
- Your existing shares remain safe in your Demat account — suspension only affects their market liquidity, not ownership.
Tip: You can check official suspension or reinstatement notices directly on the FYERS Notice Board or the respective exchange websites (NSE/BSE). What If...
| Scenario | Explanation |
|---|
| I already hold a suspended stock | You cannot sell it until the suspension is lifted. The shares remain in your Demat account. |
| The company resolves the issue | Trading may resume after exchange review. We’ll update the reinstatement status on FYERS once confirmed. |
| I want to exit before suspension | Monitor exchange announcements or FYERS notifications regularly. Once a suspension notice is published, orders may be halted without prior warning. |
| I need help understanding the suspension status | If you have questions about suspended stocks or reinstatement timelines, please contact our support team and we’ll assist you with the latest updates. |
Important: At FYERS, we do not have control over stock suspensions or reinstatements. All such actions are governed by the exchange or SEBI. If you’re affected, rest assured that your holdings remain safe in your Demat account.
