Fake Motilal Oswal calls and apps
Callers claiming to be Motilal Oswal managers offer fixed returns, home cheque pick-ups and audit transfers. Check before you pay.
A well-known financial services group whose broking arm serves clients for shares, derivatives, mutual funds, portfolio services and market research. Because many people use it, scammers pretend to be Motilal Oswal on phone calls, in apps and on WhatsApp. This page lists the lies they usually tell and how to check before you act.
Lines used in fake Motilal Oswal calls and apps
- A caller using the Motilal Oswal name promises a portfolio management scheme with fixed monthly returns
- A person says a relationship manager will visit your home to collect a cheque for an IPO
- A voice asks you to transfer money to a different account because the broker's account is under audit
- A caller sends a research PDF and asks you to join a premium call group
How to verify it yourself
Portfolio and ledger details are shown in your own login on the official Motilal Oswal app or the website you type yourself. A real relationship manager is known to you through the account opening papers, and payments go to the broker's registered accounts as shown in the app, not to an alternate account given on a call. Fixed monthly returns from a portfolio scheme are a warning sign. For help, use contact details printed on your account statements.
Quick checklist
- Do not tap links or call numbers inside the message.
- Open the official app, or type the official website yourself, and look for the same notice.
- Never share an OTP, PIN, CVV or password with anyone, including "staff".
- If money moved, call 1930 and your bank at once.

Questions
A caller says they are from Motilal Oswal. Is it real?
Treat it as unverified. Hang up and contact Motilal Oswal through its official app or the number printed on your card, bill or official website. Never install an app or share an OTP because a caller asked.
Can Motilal Oswal ask me to install an app on a call?
Be very careful. Scammers use screen-sharing and fake apps to watch your screen and read OTPs. Install apps only from the official store listing that you find yourself, never from a link or a caller.
