Terms and Conditions of Referrer in the Referral Program:

I / Referrer hereby declare/s, agree/s, understand/s, acknowledge/s and confirm/s that,

1. The participation in the product shall be deemed as my acceptance to the terms and conditions set out herein. The Offer is valid from 1st March, 2022 onwards and shall be valid till the same is withdrawn by KSL.
2. The Referrer shall get a one-time credit of 100 Referral Points for every successful account opening of Referee i.e., demat and trading account is opened after complete documentation and application verification in line with the SEBI/ Exchange regulations and internal policies and procedure of KSL. The Referrer shall not be eligible to get a credit for more than 3 referrals in a month (i.e. 300 Referral Points) on the basis of successful account opened.
3. The rewards for such Referrals will be credited as Referral Points to the Referrer's ledger on (T+3) basis, meaning T + 3 working days:

a. Say for instance, the Referrer had a successful account opened on 1st of the month (which was a Monday); in this case 100 Referral Points shall be credited to the Referrer's ledger on 4th of the month (Thursday).

b. Weekly and market holidays are excluded from (T+3) days.

c. In case, the Referrer does 3 successful Referrals in a month, then the Referrer may continue referring but will not get the one-time incentive of 100 Referral Points on further successful Referrals during that month

• For e.g. Anubhav referred 10 clients in the month of March, of which 5 successfully opened an account with KSL.
• Anubhav gets one-time credit of (100 * 3) 300 Referral Points for the first three successful accounts opened in March
• At the same time, Anubhav would continue to earn 10% share from brokerage of all accounts opened for 2 years d. Referral scheme eligibility will be for the period when the referred account is opened irrespective of when the Referral was done

4. Earnings on the basis of Referrals turnover in the first 30 days shall be calculated as follows: a. The Referree needs to complete trade turnover (buy & sell transactions) totaling more than or equal to Rs. 5,000 in the first 30 days of account opening. b. Eligibility of such transactions will be calculated on a monthly basis, and the credits shall be transferred on/after the 25th of the following month. c. The maximum credit is capped at 1200 Referral Points per month

• Continuing with above e.g. in case, amongst the 5 accounts opened through Anubhav's reference 2 fulfill Rs. 5,000 turnover condition in March and other 3 fulfil the Rs. 5,000 turnovers in April.
• Anubhav gets credit of 800 Referral Points for the first two on/ after 5th April, and credit of 400 Referral Points for the third Referral fulfilling the criteria of Rs. 5,000 turnovers on 5th May. (Thus: total credit received for fulfilment of the turnover condition by accounts opened in March totals 1200 Referral Points)
• Incase if 2 account out of the 5 accounts referred fulfill Rs. 5,000 turnover condition in March itself yet Anubhav will get the credit of 800 Referral points after 5th April and 400 points for the third Referee after 5th May
• It is not necessary, the first 3 accounts opened have to fulfil the turnover condition, it can be any 3 accounts opened in a particular month.

5. The credit of Referral Points on the basis of 10% of brokerage generated by each of the Referee shall be as follows:

• Actual of 10% of brokerage, shall be transferred into equivalent Referral Points. For e.g. if the Referee has generated a brokerage of Rs. 10,000 in a particular month. The Referrer stands to gain 10% of 10,000 i.e. 1,000 Referral Points.
• There is no upper cap on the brokerage commission earned on a monthly basis.
