    1. The Services contains an in-app support channel that is capable of resolving most queries and requests. In the uncommon scenario where your concern still remains unresolved, you can escalate your concern by registering a complaint via the Help Section. The Help Section can be accessed through your profile page.
    2. Once PhonePe Wealth Broking receives a complaint and a registration number is allotted, you can expect our first response within 24 (twenty four) hours and will endeavour to resolve your complaint within 3 (three) business days of registering the complaint. However, resolution of your complaint maybe delayed due to delays at the AMC’s end or other operational and technical reasons. In cases of such delays We will endeavour to inform you of the revised resolution timelines. If your queries pertain directly to your investment such as NAV applied to a subscribed Scheme, delays in processing of redemption or switch requests, the resolution might take longer since PhonePe Wealth Broking is dependent on feedback received from the AMC.
