It may be noted that NSE’s employees are not authorised to recommend any stock or deal in those stocks,” the exchange said in a statement.

As per the exchange's process, any official communication is made only through its official website www.nseindia.com, and the exchange’s official social media handles.
“Everyone is requested to verify the source of communication and content which is sent out on behalf of NSE and to check the official social media handles,” the stock exchange cautioned in its advisory.
