What does the Universe filter mean in Company Filings, and how does it work?
The Universe setting controls which set of stocks are shown in the Company filings section.
It decides which companies’ announcements appear in the list based on the index, category, or your own stocks.
Explanation
- Universe acts as a filter for company announcements.
- Only companies that belong to the selected universe will be shown.
- Changing the universe updates the entire list instantly.
What does a universe include?
- Nifty 50: Only companies that are part of the Nifty 50 index.
- BSE SENSEX: Only companies listed in the Sensex.
- Nifty 500: All companies that are part of the Nifty 500 index.
- Sectoral indices: Companies belonging to a specific sector (like Bank, IT, Pharma).
- Thematic indices: Companies grouped by themes (like PSU, Infra, Consumption).
- My stocks: Companies from your Portfolio, Open positions, or Watchlist.
What is excluded?
- Companies that are not part of the selected index or list.
- Stocks outside your portfolio or watchlist when using My stocks.
- Announcements from companies that do not belong to the chosen universe.
How to change the Universe
FYERS Web
Path: Markets → Analytics → Company filings
- Click on the Universe dropdown (for example, Nifty 500) above the table.
- Select an index, sector, theme, or My stocks.
- Click Apply to update the filings list.
- Use Reset to clear your selection.
FYERS App
Path: Markets → Analytics → Company filings
- Tap the Universe option at the top.
- Choose from Broad indices, Sectoral indices, Thematic indices, or My stocks.
- If you select My stocks, pick from Portfolio, Open positions, or Watchlist.

Notes
- The universe only affects which companies are shown, not the content of the filings.
- Using Nifty 500 gives the widest coverage of listed companies.
- My stocks is useful if you want updates only for stocks you track or hold.
What if…
| Solution | What to do |
|---|
| I don’t see filings for a company | Check if the company belongs to the selected universe. Switch to Nifty 500 or My stocks. |
| I want filings only for stocks I own | Select My stocks and choose Portfolio or Open positions. |
| Too many filings are showing | Switch from Nifty 500 to a smaller index like Nifty 50 or a sector. |
