Zerodha Refunds ₹9 Lakh To Trader Who Blames Bug For Missing Out On Profits

Discount brokerage Zerodha refunded a derivatives trader ₹9 lakh after the trader raised a query in Zerodha. 

What Happened: A trader with the user name Overtrader on X (formerly known as Twitter) posted that he lost ₹9.56 lakh due to a technical error on Zerodha on July 9. 

Overtrader lost money after placing a market order, i.e., buying a security at market price, at 9:19 am on Tuesday morning. However, Zerodha’s Kite app did not display the order as executed immediately.

Overtrader said the app only showed the executed order at 10:30 am, denying him the chance to square it off when it was in profit. The user claimed his losses mounted to ₹9.56 lakh as the order wasn’t showing up in the order book.
