A @valid UPI handle is an exclusive, standardized, and verified UPI ID introduced by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for use by SEBI-registered intermediaries (including Research Analysts like us), for payments, starting October 1st, 2025. It includes a username, a category tag (e.g., brk for brokers, mf for mutual funds, ra for Research Analysts), the mandatory @valid identifier, and the bank’s name.
To verify a @valid handle, check for a white “thumbs-up” icon inside a green triangle on the payment confirmation screen or QR code, which visually confirms authenticity.
SEBI has made this initiative mandatory for all intermediaries to further enhance investor protection and provide investors with a secure, verified and transparent payment experience. Using @valid UPI handles for payments will ensure that your payments are always directed to verified SEBI-registered entities.
We are pleased to inform you that we have already received @Valid UPI handles for our bank account.
