The four-level escalation path

SEBI requires every registered broker to honour this exact sequence. Use it in order — skipping levels usually gets your complaint bounced back to the previous step.

  1. 1
    Contact ICICI Direct customer care directly

    Use the phone, email, or chat above. Be specific about your issue and ask for a ticket / reference number — you'll need it at every later level.

    Typical SLA: 1 working day for acknowledgement, up to 7 days for resolution.
  2. 2
    Escalate inside ICICI Direct

    Write to complianceofficer@icicisecurities.com (Compliance Officer, Atul Agarwal). Quote the Level-1 ticket and the dates the broker missed. Open ICICI Direct’s grievance page ↗

    Allow 21 days from your first complaint before moving to Level 3.
  3. 3
    File a SCORES complaint with SEBI

    SCORES (SEBI Complaints Redress System) ↗ is the regulator’s portal. Register with PAN, file the complaint against ICICI Direct, attach the Level-1 ticket and any Level-2 correspondence. SEBI forwards it to the broker and tracks the response.

    Broker SLA: 21 days. SEBI may direct further action if unresolved.
  4. 4
    Online Dispute Resolution (SMART ODR)

    If SCORES doesn’t resolve the matter, escalate to SMART ODR ↗ — SEBI’s pre-litigation online conciliation and arbitration platform. Mandatory before approaching the Securities Appellate Tribunal or a civil court.

    Conciliation first; if it fails, online arbitration with a binding award.

What to have ready before you escalate

Whether you’re at Level 1 or Level 4, every level asks for the same evidence. Put it together once and re-use it across all four steps.

  • Your client / UCC ID with the broker
  • A one-line summary of the issue, with dates
  • Trade IDs or order IDs, if it is a trade-related complaint
  • Screenshots of any error states or relevant statements
  • Prior support ticket numbers, emails, or chat transcripts
  • Bank / UPI references, if money movement is involved
