Contract note is a statement of confirmation of trade(s) done on a particular day for and on behalf of a client. It provides a summary of all the trades taken during the day. A contract note is issued in the prescribed format and manner, establishing a legally enforceable relationship between the member and client in respect to the trades stated in that contract note. Contract notes are made in duplicate, where the member and client both keep one copy each.
Digital Contract Notes are delivered to the client through E-mail on the day the order is executed. If you did not receive the Contract Note on your e-mail (Read: ‘Why am I not receiving Contract Notes on my e-mail?’) and have opted for physical contract notes, you will be delivered a physical copy of the contract note on the next trading day.
If you have opted to receive contract notes through email and your email was not delivered to you, we are obligated to send you a physical contract note regardless of the mode you have opted for, as per NSE guidelines. Physical Contract Notes are chargeable at Rs. 50/- per contract note.
