Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before buying

Is this suitable for a complete beginner?

Yes. It starts from opening a demat account and assumes no prior knowledge. Every term is explained the first time it is used, and Part 1 and Part 2 are meant to be read before you invest a single rupee.

Is the content up to date?

Yes. Every figure comes from an official source — SEBI studies and circulars, NSE and BSE notices, AMFI categorisation, CDSL and NSDL disclosures, and the Income-tax Act, 2025 as amended by the Finance Act, 2026. Facts are current as of October 2026.

Is this investment advice?

No. It is education. It explains how the market works, how to read a company, how orders and taxes work, and how to avoid the common traps — so you can make your own informed decisions. For personalised advice, consult a SEBI-registered investment adviser.

Does it cover futures and options or intraday trading?

It covers them honestly, with the regulator's own data — 91.1% of individual F&O traders lost money in FY 2024 and 87.7% in FY 2026 — and explains why the maths is against frequent trading. The book is built around long-term investing in shares you hold, not speculation.

How do I download it after payment?
