10. What is BTST order in ICICIDirect?
BTST in ICICIDirect is an abbreviation for Buy Today Sell Tomorrow. It is a facility that allows you to sell shares without having to wait for it to get credited in your demat account.
It takes T+2 day (T being the day of trading) for the shares you bought to get credited in the demat account. In a normal trading process, you cannot sell shares that are not available in your demat account. Even if you sell shares (called shorting), you have to buy the shares on the same trading day.
Now, what if you buy shares and due to an event the stock price increases in the short term. You won't be able to benefit from it as you have to wait for the shares to be delivered before selling it. The same situation arises if the stock prices move downwards.
BTST order facility helps you to profit from such short term price movements by allowing you to sell shares before they are credited in your demat account. It also helps you prevent losses when the stock price is decreasing.
Let us take an example. Suppose that you buy shares of a company today at 2 pm. The next day, the price of this scrip increases by Rs 10. With BTST, you can sell the shares and book profits.
Note:
- Only limited stocks are available for the BTST facility. You can check the list through the 'Stock List'.
- No extra brokerage is charged on BTST orders. Normal cash brokerage is charged.
- Shares under BTST orders can be sold on T+1 or T+2 days before the delivery of the shares on the demat account.

ICICIDIRECT has a good platform, friendly and understandable navigation and research tabs for Equity ( I only deal in Equity trading with ICICI since 2005)
the sad part is their charges for NRI customers are very high, also the AMC charges are over the roof.
Customer service is just horrible as the agents do not understand how to resolve issues, nor their relationship manager will contacts you back even if you request help.

One of the worst service oriented Organization. Even after 21 days and dozens of EMAILs and CALLS, even marked to the CEO/CFO on the escalation matrix, they continue to ignore you. No amount of sarcasms or insults help in resolving the problems as the officers are incompetent to say the least. Basic Queries that can be resolved by simply staring at the computer screens and parroting out answers take as much as 21 days and yet are unresolved.

I can’t suggest icicidirect to anyone because I was completely scammed; they have no human empathy at all. first they lure you into investing which I put in just over 9000, I requested a withdrawal but have yet to receive an approval. When I contact their customer service, the just paste some automated answer to me and do not resolve the problem. they Keep away and avoid trading here. Nonetheless, I'm thrilled and grateful that I found a reliable company like benarmstrong-trades. com which I’m earning from, another thing about Icicidirect is the limited trading features available for traders. A lot of people are really complaining

They have the worst customer service I have ever come across with a financial services company plus they are not complying to regulatory norms like NRI not requiring linking of PAN/Aadhar. They blocked my account on June 30th 2023 for fresh positions and even after umpteemth calling no one picks up the customer service phone. When you e-mail them they give a reply very late and they deliberatily do not reply to your request and divert the question and try to dilute the problem.
My account was blocked due to gross negligence by ICICI direct for 3 trading days due to which I lost money.
You try thier customer service phone , it gets diverted to ICICI Bank and there is not even an option for ICICI direct in the IVR.
Never ever open an account with them otherwise you will regret. Its so frustrating when you have something important to resolve and thier phone just keeps ringing. If you leave a call back number , no one calls back. Further now they are asking me to directly talk to NDSL to get the NRI Aadhar linkage otherwise they will deduct 23% tax on any sell activity. I opened an account with ICICI Direct and had never spoken to NDSL even once , now ICICI direct because of its gross negligence is diverting the blame. And as you can guess no one ever picks up the phone on NSDL .

This is one of the worst bank service .They will deduct the amount for MTF more than mentioned and if we complain to them they say its system fault.
If we convert them to delivery the stocks wont even get credited even after 5 days as they say T
+2 days officially. They answer sorry except to close the request.
Also we cant sell keeping the limit price . They say it is system problem. we will look into it, we have to sell it for Market price only. One of the worst service.
They are not even ready to tell how to close the account.
This is my service request number. SR904322114 with customer executive name Kasturi. Worst service from this icici bank.

Please do not open an account on ICICI Direct. Worst company. They only know how to sell and have no service ethics. Be it in real world of via their customer service - call centre. I am suffering from last 3 months. My account conversion process from NRI to Resident is still not completed. Applied on 16th July. Call centre is worst. Not sure, if the culture in ICICI is just to sell ?
