Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Penny stocks in India are shares that trade at very low prices, usually from small, thinly traded companies. A low price does not mean good value, and these stocks are prone to manipulation, including pump-and-dump schemes where promoters or tipsters push the price up and then sell. Check the financials, trading volume, promoter holding and exchange surveillance status before putting any money in.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Penny stocks in India draw beginners with a simple thought: if a share costs only a few rupees, a small rise can double the money. That idea is the starting point of many losses.<\/p>\n

This guide explains what penny stocks are, how pump-and-dump schemes work, which red flags to look for and how to treat such stocks if you still decide to hold them.<\/p>\n
