Is algo trading legal in India?

Yes. Retail traders in India may automate orders in their own account through their broker's API, under the broker's terms and the rules of SEBI and the exchanges. Under the retail framework that brokers describe as in force since April 2026, API orders must come from a fixed internet address registered with the broker, and very fast strategies need registration through the broker. You remain responsible for meeting the conditions for your account. This page is general information, not legal advice.

What to check with your broker

Where Zerokriya stands

Zerokriya is a software development and installation service. It is not a SEBI-registered investment adviser, research analyst, portfolio manager or stock broker, and it gives no investment advice, tips, signals or strategies. The rules your system follows are your own.

We tell you exactly what the software needs, such as the server's fixed address, so that you can confirm it with your broker before going live.

Using Telegram channels

The system reads only channels you are already a member of, through your own Telegram account. You are responsible for using each channel within its own terms.
