Technical Glitch Reports on Stock Exchange: Technical disturbances have been reported once again in the stock market. Brokerage house HDFC Securities briefly stopped trading in cash on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) due to technical difficulties. The brokerage, through a tweet, asked its customers to place cash orders on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) instead of NSE. However, a new tweet later, it said that now its customers can place orders in the cash segment on NSE. At present, there has been a statement from both NSE and BSE that there is no problem with trading on their platform.
What are both tweets?
HDFC Securities did the first tweet about 1 hour ago and told its clients that trading has been blocked due to some technical flaws on the NSE. Instead, trade on the Bombay Stock Exchange, ie BSE. Investors are advised that if you have done any trade during the day in NSE in the cash market, then you can do it in BSE.
We have blocked trading in NSE cash due to a technical glitch. We request our customers to place cash orders on BSE. All other segments are working fine.
Apologies for the inconvenience caused.

After that, the brokerage gave a second tweet and informed the customers that trading can now be done on the NSE.
Dear Customers,
You can place orders through NSE cash segment now.

Stock Exchange gave clarification
There are also reports that Zerodha’s clients are also complaining that they are having trouble in trading. Some more complaints of this kind have also been seen. In the meantime, clarification has come from both BSE and NSE. According to the News Agency, the BSE has said that there are no problems regarding fresh orders or scare off on our platform. NSE has also said that there is no issue on their platform.
