5paisa

Methodology

How we research 5paisa for readers in India, what we check it against, and how we are paid.

Where our facts come from

Everything factual on this site is checked against primary sources: the register of Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) regulates exchange-traded currency derivatives; Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governs foreign exchange under FEMA 1999 and authorises Electronic Trading Platforms (ETPs). Currency derivatives trade on SEBI-recognised exchanges (NSE, BSE, MSE/Metropolitan Stock Exchange)., the broker's own legal documents, and its published trading conditions. Where a licence matters we point at the source: sebi.gov.in. Secondary sources - user-review platforms, press reports - are used for reputation, never for figures.

What we earn and how

Some links on this site are partner links: if a reader opens an account through one, we may be paid a commission at no additional cost to them. Nothing here is financial advice, and we are not affiliated with 5paisa. That arrangement does not buy a verdict: the facts and the conclusion on these pages read the same whether or not anyone uses those links.

How we verify a claim

If we cannot say where a number came from, it does not get published. Anything that varies by jurisdiction is checked for India and not copied from the broker's global page. An unverifiable number is dropped, not approximated: a missing value costs the reader nothing, a wrong one can cost money.

When a page changes

Dates on these pages are real: the India source set is dated 2026-07-07 and the pages are re-checked against it. When the underlying facts change, we change the page and the date with it - we do not quietly refresh a timestamp.

Why you should still verify

No review stays true forever - entities, fees and limits for India move, sometimes without an announcement. Always confirm the entity on the register yourself before you fund an account - the name on the website and the name on the licence are not always the same.
