THE ADVISOR AND CLIENT DEFINITION

This Client Research & Advisory Engagement Agreement (“Agreement”) is executed on 11th day August 2026 (“Effective Date”)
BETWEEN

Sharad Mishra (Operating as a SEBI-registered Research Analyst, SEBI Registration No. IHN000005908) Hereinafter referred to as the “Advisor

AND

Client Name: ______________________________
PAN: _____________________________________
Mobile: __________________________________
Email: ___________________________________
hereinafter referred to as the "Client"

The Advisor and Client are individually a “Party” and collectively the “Parties.”

    The Advisor shall provide research-based recommendations and trade setups relating to:

    • Nifty Options
    • Stock Options / Equity Derivatives; and
    • Research-based derivatives trading strategies.

    The engagement is strictly research/advisory in nature.

    The Advisor shall not:

    • Manage Client funds
    • Operate the Client’s trading, demat or bank account
    • Hold Client money for investment;
    • Exercise discretionary trading authority
    • Place orders in the Client’s account; or
    • Undertake portfolio/fund management under this Agreement.

    All trading and execution decisions remain under the control of the Client.

    Research recommendations and Advised Trades under this Agreement shall be communicated through the Advisor’s Private and Exclusive Telegram Advisory Channel, associated with designated mobile number:
    9820209987

    (“Designated Telegram Channel”).

    An Advised Trade may specify:

    • Security/index;
    • Option contract and strike;
    • Buy/Sell direction;
    • Entry price/range;
    • Target(s);
    • Stop-loss;
    • Modification;
    • Exit/closure; and
    • Relevant risk-management instructions.

    Each such communication shall constitute an “Advised Trade.”


    The Telegram-generated date and time stamp shall constitute the primary contemporaneous evidence of what was advised and when it was advised.


    The Client voluntarily declares and confirms that:


    3.1 Financial Soundness


    The Client is financially sound and possesses sufficient financial resources, investments, assets and/or income to participate in derivatives trading.


    3.2 ₹25 Lakh Derivatives Allocation


    The Client confirms that the Client’s overall financial position and investment portfolio permit the Client to allocate up to:
    ₹25,00,000
    (Rupees Twenty-Five Lakhs Only)
    towards derivatives/options trading.


    3.3 Essential Financial Requirements Protected


    The Client expressly declares that allocation of such capital:

    • Does not impair the Client’s normal household expenditure;
    • Does not affect essential living expenses;
    • Does not affect emergency financial requirements;
    • Does not compromise existing financial obligations;
    • Does not interfere with loan/EMI obligations;
    • Does not require the Client to use funds required for essential expenses; and
    • Does not disturb the Client’s basic financial discipline.

    3.4 Portfolio Diversification


    The Client states that participation in derivatives trading is undertaken voluntarily as part of the Client’s broader investment/trading portfolio and for diversification purposes.


    3.5 Risk Capacity



    The Client understands that derivatives/options constitute a high-risk segment and that part or all of the capital deployed may be lost.


    The Client represents that such potential loss would not materially compromise the Client’s essential financial requirements.


    3.6 No Guarantee



    The above declaration relates only to the Client’s self-declared financial capacity.


    It shall not constitute:

    • A guarantee of suitability;
    • A guarantee of profit;
    • Capital protection; or
    • A representation by the Advisor that derivatives are appropriate for every investor.

For standardized recording and calculation of the research recommendations, each qualifying Advised Trade shall be calculated using:

₹10,00,000 MODEL/NOTIONAL CAPITAL PER ADVISED TRADE


The ₹10,00,000 amount is a model capital and Money Management calculation parameter.
It does not constitute an instruction that the Client must deploy exactly ₹10,00,000.
It does not give the Advisor possession, management or control over ₹10,00,000 or any other Client funds.

    The Advisor shall maintain a Money Management Sheet / Model Trade Record for qualifying Advised Trades.
    It shall record, wherever applicable:

    • Trade
    • Date/Time
    • Entry
    • Target
    • Stop-loss
    • Exit
    • ₹10,00,000 model capital;
    • Model quantity;
    • Model profit/loss; and
    • Cumulative profit/loss.

    The time-stamped Telegram recommendation and corresponding Money Management Sheet shall constitute the primary record of the Advisor’s research recommendation and its standardized/model outcome.

    The Client shall independently select and appoint the Client’s stock broker/dealer.
    The Advisor shall have no responsibility for selecting, appointing, supervising or controlling the Client’s broker.
    At the Client’s written request, an authorized representative of the Client’s independently appointed stock broker/dealer may be permitted access to the Designated Telegram Channel so that the Client and such representative can receive the same time-stamped research communication simultaneously.
    Such access:

    • Is provided solely for the Client’s convenience;
    • Does not constitute an execution instruction from the Advisor;
    • Does not create an agency relationship between Advisor and broker;
    • Does not authorize the Advisor to place orders;
    • Does not make the broker the Advisor’s representative; and
    • Does not make the Advisor responsible for execution.

    Any authority to execute transactions exists solely between the:
    CLIENT ↔ CLIENT'S STOCK BROKER/DEALER
    The Advisor remains solely the provider of research recommendations.

    The Advisor’s obligation is fulfilled by communicating the applicable time-stamped research/trade setup through the Designated Telegram Channel.
    The Advisor does not undertake to ensure that the Client or Client’s broker:

    • Executes every Advised Trade;
    • Executes the full model quantity;
    • Executes at the model price;
    • Achieves the model target;
    • Exits at the model price; or
    • Achieves the Money Management Sheet P&L.

    Actual execution may differ because of:

    • Slippage;
    • Market volatility;
    • Bid-ask spreads;
    • Delayed execution;
    • Partial execution;
    • Order rejection;
    • Broker/dealer error;
    • Network/system failure;
    • Margin availability; or
    • Other execution circumstances.

    The Parties recognize that a model trade communicated correctly by the Advisor may not necessarily be executed identically by the Client’s broker.
    Accordingly, the Advisor voluntarily adopts a Client-protective reconciliation mechanism.
    The purpose of this mechanism is to ensure that the Advisor does not claim performance-linked compensation on model profits which the Client did not reasonably realize because qualifying Advised Trades were missed or materially affected by genuine execution differences.

    Where an Advised Trade is executed by the Client/broker but the actual result differs from the Money Management Sheet because of genuine execution differences, the Advisor may accept a documented variation of up to:

    ±15%


    from the model result for reconciliation purposes.
    This tolerance is voluntarily provided by the Advisor for the benefit of the Client.
    It:

    • Does not make the Advisor responsible for execution;
    • Does not constitute compensation for broker error;
    • Does not guarantee execution within 15%;
    • Does not alter the Advisor’s original research record; and
    • Exists solely to achieve fair reconciliation between model and actual Client performance.

    Broker contract notes, trade books, order books or other verifiable broker-generated records may be used to establish actual execution.

    Where a qualifying Advised Trade appearing in the Telegram Money Management Sheet was not actually executed by the Client/broker, the Advisor shall not claim performance-linked compensation attributable to the model profit from that unexecuted trade.
    Accordingly:
    Model Profit ≠ Automatically Chargeable Client Profit
    Where the Money Management Sheet records a profitable Advised Trade but the Client demonstrates through appropriate broker records that the trade was not executed, the model profit attributable to that unexecuted trade shall be excluded from the profit base used for determining performance-linked compensation.
    The Advisor voluntarily accepts this adjustment in order to ensure that compensation, wherever legally permissible, is not claimed merely on theoretical/model profit that the Client did not realize.

    Where an Advised Trade was executed but the actual execution materially differed from the model because of genuine broker/execution circumstances, the Parties shall reconcile the result using:

    1. The Telegram Advised Trade;
    2. The Money Management Sheet;
    3. Broker-generated execution records; and
    4. The maximum ±15% execution-tolerance mechanism.

    The purpose shall be to determine a fair attributable realized result while protecting both Parties from unreasonable differences caused by execution.

    Client-initiated changes to quantity, strategy, entry, stop-loss or exit shall not automatically qualify as broker execution error.

    For purposes of any legally permissible performance-linked fee:
    Net Attributable Realized Profit shall mean cumulative realized profits attributable to qualifying Advised Trades actually executed by the Client, less realized losses attributable to such qualifying Advised Trades, after applying any eligible Client-protective execution reconciliation under this Agreement.
    Accordingly:

    • Unexecuted profitable model trades shall not create a performance fee;
    • Executed losing Advised Trades shall reduce the cumulative result;
    • Open/unrealized trades shall be excluded until closure; and
    • Independent Client trades shall be excluded.

    Where and only to the extent legally permissible under the regulatory framework applicable to the particular Client, the Parties commercially agree that:

    ₹5,00,000


    shall become payable for every
    ₹12,50,000
    of cumulative Net Attributable Realized Profit.
    Any residual profit below a completed ₹12,50,000 block shall carry forward.
    No fee shall arise merely because a theoretical/model profitable trade appears in the Money Management Sheet if that profitable trade was not actually executed by the Client.
    This commercial arrangement shall operate only to the extent permitted for the Client category concerned under applicable SEBI regulations, circulars and RAASB requirements.

    Where legally permissible, the Client shall pay ₹5,00,000 as an advance adjustable against future advisory fee liability.
    The advance:

    • Is not trading capital;
    • Is not an investment deposit;
    • Shall not be traded by the Advisor;
    • Does not provide trading authority to the Advisor; and
    • Does not constitute an assurance of future profits.

    Adjustment/refund of the advance shall remain subject to applicable regulatory requirements.

    Before applying the performance-linked commercial mechanism, the Client shall be classified for regulatory purposes as applicable, including whether the Client is:
    Individual/HUF – Non-Accredited Investor:☐
    Accredited Investor:☐
    Non-Individual Client:☐
    Other: __________________________
    Where the Client is an individual/HUF who is not an accredited investor, all mandatory SEBI/RAASB fee limits, advance-fee restrictions, refund requirements and related protections applicable to such Client shall prevail over the commercial formula contained in this Agreement.
    Where applicable SEBI provisions permit bilaterally negotiated fee terms for the relevant Client category, the commercial arrangement contained herein shall apply subject to all other applicable regulatory requirements.

    Permitted payments shall be made only through auditable banking/payment channels.
    Bank Transfer
    Account Name: sharadmishra.com
    Bank: __________________________
    Account Number: ________________
    IFSC: __________________________
    or through the payment gateway provided on the Advisor’s official SharadMishra.com website.
    No cash payment shall be accepted.

    The Client expressly acknowledges that:

    • Options and derivatives trading involves substantial risk;
    • Partial or complete capital loss is possible;
    • Stop-loss orders may not always execute at the specified price;
    • Market gaps may result in larger losses;
    • No assured or guaranteed return has been promised;
    • No minimum income has been promised;
    • No capital protection is provided;
    • Past performance does not guarantee future results; and
    • Every research recommendation can result in profit or loss.

    The intended engagement period shall be 12 months from the Effective Date.
    Any termination, premature discontinuation, refund, fee adjustment or settlement shall remain subject to applicable SEBI/RAASB requirements.
    On termination, the Parties shall prepare a final reconciliation of:

    • Qualifying executed Advised Trades;
    • Attributable realized profits;
    • Attributable realized losses;
    • Eligible execution adjustments;
    • Fees already paid;
    • Advance amounts;
    • Fees lawfully accrued; and
    • Amounts lawfully refundable or adjustable.

    Any amount lawfully payable by the Client to the Advisor shall remain payable.
    Any amount lawfully refundable or payable by the Advisor to the Client shall likewise be settled.
    No provision of this Agreement shall eliminate a termination/refund right that applicable law prohibits the Client from waiving.

    The Advisor shall maintain records relating to research services and Client communications for the period required under applicable SEBI regulations/circulars.
    Relevant records may include:

    • Telegram advisory communications;
    • Research basis/supporting records;
    • Money Management Sheets;
    • Client consent;
    • Fee/payment records;
    • Client correspondence; and
    • Reconciliation records.

    The Private Telegram Channel, research, strategies, trade setups and Money Management Sheets are confidential/proprietary material.
    The Client shall not commercially distribute, reproduce or provide unauthorized third-party access to such material.
    Access specifically authorized for the Client’s nominated broker/dealer shall not violate this provision.

    The Advisor is a SEBI-Registered Research Analyst and this Agreement remains subject to the SEBI (Research Analysts) Regulations, 2014, applicable Master Circulars, RAASB requirements and amendments from time to time.
    If any provision of this Agreement conflicts with a mandatory regulatory requirement, the mandatory regulatory requirement shall prevail.

    • Does not make the Advisor responsible for execution;
    • Does not constitute compensation for broker error;
    • Does not guarantee execution within 15%;
    • Does not alter the Advisor’s original research record; and
    • Exists solely to achieve fair reconciliation between model and actual Client performance.

    Broker contract notes, trade books, order books or other verifiable broker-generated records may be used to establish actual execution.

    This Agreement shall be governed by Indian law and applicable securities-market regulations.
    Subject to mandatory regulatory dispute-resolution mechanisms, courts of competent jurisdiction in Mumbai shall have jurisdiction.
