SBICAP Securities is shameless and does not care about customer complaints. I am an NRI customer and my account is locked. I have made several complains., escalated these complains from last 7 months , however my issue is still not resolved. So do not boast about customer grievances as they are the worst in the world. My customer id is N7024127 and my email id is jasnanda@hotmail.com if you wish to help me.. Thanks
