Online Dispute Resolution (ODR)

Grievance Redressal through ODR (Online Dispute Resolution) Platform

SEBI has established a common Online Dispute Resolution Portal (“ODR Portal”) which harnesses online conciliation and online arbitration for resolution of disputes arising in the Indian Securities Market.

Dispute initiation on the ODR Portal by the client in two cases:

If the grievance is not resolved by the Portfolio Manager (Stage 1) or during subsequent escalations (Stage 2 -SCORES) OR
Directly, if the grievance lodged with the concerned Portfolio Manager is not satisfactorily resolved (Stage 1) or at any stage of the subsequent escalations (Stage 2-SCORES) without waiting for the outcome on SCORES.

The client may initiate the dispute on the ODR Portal (Registration of the client on the ODR Portal is necessary). The Dispute will be then referred to an ODR Institution empaneled by Market Infrastructure Institution. Conciliation– The ODR Institution that receives the reference of complaint/ dispute shall appoint a sole independent and neutral Conciliator from its panel of conciliators. If the client is satisfied with the conciliation, the dispute stands disposed of. If the client is not satisfied with the conciliation, the client and/or Portfolio Manager may pursue online Arbitration Arbitration – The ODR Institution shall appoint a sole independent and neutral Arbitrator from its panel of arbitrators within 5 calendar days of reference and receipt of fees, costs, and charges as applicable. SMART ODR Portal can be accessed via the following link – https://smartodr.in/login
