From ₹3,175 to ₹175 Crore in 20 Minutes: The Gajanan Rajguru–Kotak Securities Case That Shook India’s Stock Market
From ₹3,175 to ₹175 Crore in 20 Minutes: The Gajanan Rajguru–Kotak Securities Case That Shook India’s Stock Market An extraordinary incident in India’s stock market in 2022 has become a landmark case for retail traders, highlighting accountability in broker systems and reinforcing investor rights. The case—now backed by a court ruling—is not a rumor but a verified legal outcome involving retail trader Gajanan Rajguru and brokerage firm Kotak Securities. At the center of the case was a glaring technical error. Rajguru’s trading account had an actual available balance of just ₹3,175, with no margin, collateral, or additional funds. However, due to a technical glitch in Kotak Securities’ system, a trading limit of nearly ₹40 crore was mistakenly enabled on his account—without any request or action from the trader. Compounding the error, the brokerage treated this accidental limit as valid collateral and allowed Rajguru to trade in the Futures and Options (F&O) segment. This action directly violated regulations of India’s market regulator, SEBI, which prohibit allowing retail traders to take derivative positions without sufficient margin.
