HDFC Securities
Charges for Physical delivery of Contract notes

I am doing transections online thru HDFC Sec. for last 2-3 yrs. I was

getting Contract Note in PHYSICAL FORM and by E-mail till 15-10-08.

Since last 2 months I recive only e-mail notes. on enquiering I was told

that for physical form It will cost Rs.28 per note.(As courrier charges Rs.25/- and Rs.3 S.T.) They are using Vichare Courriers, who charges Rs.10-12 for in and arround Mumbai. They want to even earn out of Cost Cutting!!!

My Accountant has told

to get contract notes in Physical forms only for Income-tax purpose.

I recieved a phone call today from Ms. Seema from HDFC Sec stating that if

my e-mails are bounsed they will send contract notes in Physical form, does

this mean I close my e-mail A/c?

As per SEBI Rules it is mandatory on part of Brokers to give Contract note in Priscribed Format.

If this is a cost cutting measure you can send it quarterly to reduce

cost.

Please let me know legal standing as you can not expect every customer to have printing facility.

Thanks
