Search for the best option trading Telegram channel in India and you get the same problem every time: dozens of lists that all copy each other, hand out five-star praise to everyone, and quietly include channels that are pure marketing or, worse, outright scams. Options are already the riskiest corner of the market. The last thing you need is a “sureshot” tipster running your money into the ground.
So we did this differently. Every channel below was opened by hand and checked on its public Telegram preview in July 2026. We looked at what it actually posts, how many people follow it, whether it is run by a SEBI-registered Research Analyst, and whether it makes the kind of guaranteed-profit claims that give the whole space a bad name. Several popular names that other lists feature did not make the cut, and we tell you exactly why near the end.
One thing to be clear about up front: no Telegram channel can guarantee profit in options, and following calls blindly is how most retail traders blow up. Treat these as places to learn, follow the market, and cross-check ideas, not as an ATM. If you are still new to derivatives, our guide on how to select stocks for intraday F&O trading is a better place to begin than any tip.
How we checked these channels
This is not a paid-placement list. Here is the exact filter every channel had to pass:
- Real and public. We loaded each channel’s live public preview and confirmed it exists, is active, and shows real posts. Channels we could not open or verify were dropped, no matter how many “best of” lists featured them.
- Actually about options. Plenty of channels call themselves “option trading” but post equity tips or account-handling ads. We noted when a channel is broader than options so you know what you are getting.
- SEBI status, stated honestly. Where a channel is run by a SEBI-registered Research Analyst, we list the registration number it displays. Where a channel openly says it is not registered, we say that too. Both can be useful; what matters is that they are honest about it.
- No guaranteed-return language. Any channel promising fixed daily profit, “sureshot” calls, or offering to trade your account for a profit share was excluded. Those are the loudest red flags in this market.
The subscriber figures below are rounded and were correct when we checked in July 2026. They move around, so treat them as a rough guide to size, not a live number. And if a channel states a SEBI registration number, do not just take our word or theirs: our walkthrough on how to verify if a stock advisor is SEBI-registered shows you how to confirm any number yourself in two minutes.

The 10 best option trading Telegram channels in India
These are grouped roughly by how much verifiable trust each one carries, starting with SEBI-registered analysts, then well-known free channels that are upfront about not being registered, and finally three that are worth knowing about but come with clear caveats. This is not a strict “number one is best” ranking. The right channel depends on whether you trade index options, stock options, or are still learning. Each channel name below links to its official Telegram, and there is a Join button under every review.
1. CA Nitin Murarka (SMC): the strongest trust profile
Run under CA Nitin Murarka and tied to SMC Global Securities, a large and long-established brokerage, this is the most institutionally backed channel on the list. It posts index option views, mostly Nifty calls and puts, with entry, exit, and trailing stop-loss levels, plus educational webinars. The channel displays a SEBI Research Analyst number (INH100001849).
The reason it sits at the top is simple: a registration attached to a regulated broker is far easier to trust and to verify than an anonymous handle. Around 199K people follow it, and it was clearly active when we checked. If you want index-option commentary from a name that is accountable to a regulator, start here.
Best for: Traders who want SEBI-registered, broker-backed index option views.
Honest note: Registered research is still research, not a guarantee. Position size for the possibility that a call is wrong.
2. Stock Gainers: stock and index options with a stated RA number
Stock Gainers, run by Kapil Verma, is one of the larger SEBI-registered channels in this space at roughly 114K followers. It stands out for covering stock options as well as index options, with posts like specific call strikes on individual names, each carrying an “educational purposes only” line. It displays Research Analyst number INH100007879.
On Telegram the channel is disciplined and disclaimer-heavy. One thing to keep your eyes open for: the brand’s promotion elsewhere on social media leans into loud, hype-style captions. Judge it by the actual channel posts, which are the restrained part, and ignore the marketing noise.
Best for: Traders who want stock options as well as index options from a registered analyst.
Honest note: Loud marketing on other platforms; the channel itself is the calmer place.
3. Flying Calls: clean and consistent index views
Flying Calls is run by Arjun Loganathan out of Tamil Nadu and displays SEBI Research Analyst number INH000021003. With around 58K followers, it posts index levels across Nifty, Bank Nifty, and Nifty futures, along with the occasional stock idea and target, plus a good amount of educational YouTube content.
What we liked in the preview was the tone. There is no “guaranteed”, no “100% accuracy”, none of the usual noise. Some detailed levels are marked for clients only, which is a normal soft upsell rather than a pressure tactic. It is a steady, no-drama channel for index option traders.
Best for: Index option traders who want calm, registered commentary.
Honest note: The most detailed calls sit behind a paid client tier.
4. Aakanksha Option Trading: options-first with live streams
One of the few channels here that is genuinely options-first rather than a general tips feed. Aakanksha Option Trading, around 56K followers, focuses on index options with support and resistance levels on Nifty and Sensex, live trading streams, and technical analysis. It displays SEBI Research Analyst number INH000013457 and was active when we checked in July.
The live-stream angle is the differentiator. If you learn better by watching someone read the option chain in real time than by reading a levels post, this is a useful follow. The only mild caveat is that it cross-promotes a separate crypto channel and a premium group, which is common but worth noting.
Best for: People who want live, options-focused sessions from a registered analyst.
Honest note: Some cross-promotion of premium and crypto products.
5. Ghanshyam Tech Analysis: the biggest free education channel
At roughly 286K followers, Ghanshyam Tech Analysis is the largest channel on this list, and it earns the spot by being genuinely educational. The focus is technical analysis: chart and price action, Nifty and Bank Nifty option strategies, volume and breakout reading, and swing setups. It is free to join, and the admin states plainly, “I am not a SEBI-registered analyst, contact your financial adviser before taking any trade.”
That honesty is exactly why it ranks above several registered channels for learning. It is not selling you certainty. It is teaching you to read charts so you can make your own option decisions. For a beginner who wants to understand the “why” behind a trade rather than just copy a call, this is one of the best free follows in the country.
Best for: Learning technical analysis and option strategy for free.
Honest note: Not SEBI-registered, and open about it. This is education, not advice.
6. Harsh Bhagat: options, psychology, and straight talk
Harsh Bhagat’s channel, around 103K followers, covers day trading, options, finance, risk management, and trading psychology. What stood out is the disclaimer: “We’re not a SEBI-registered research analyst, do your own research,” with a clear line that the admins are not responsible for your profit and loss. No guaranteed calls, no paid-tip pressure in the preview.
The psychology and risk-management angle is underrated. Most retail option traders lose not because they lack tips but because they cannot manage size and emotion. A channel that talks about that openly is more valuable than one that just fires strikes at you all day.
Best for: Traders who want the mindset and risk side, not just calls.
Honest note: Not registered. Confirm it is still active before you lean on it.
7. Options Guide: a small, clean option-chain channel
Smaller than the rest at around 14K followers, Options Guide earns its place by doing one thing well: daily Nifty and Bank Nifty predictions read off the option chain, with a linked YouTube channel for the longer explanations. It was clearly active, with a fresh Nifty prediction posted on the day we checked. The admin states, “I’m not SEBI-registered, views are for study purpose only.”
If you specifically want to learn how to read the option chain, open interest, and premium behaviour rather than just receive levels, a focused channel like this is often more useful than a huge general feed. Size is not everything.
Best for: Learning to read the option chain and daily index bias.
Honest note: Small and not registered, but transparent and genuinely useful.
8. Trading with CA Abhay: registered, but more equity than options
Here the caveats begin. Trading with CA Abhay, around 42K followers, is run by a SEBI-registered Research Analyst (INH300008465), so the registration is real. But two things kept it out of the top group. First, the main channel is mostly equity swing and intraday calls, with options pushed to a separate premium channel. Second, the tone leans promotional, with posts framing big return projections like “60% one-way rally”, and the risk disclaimer offloaded to the website rather than the post.
None of that makes it a scam. It is a registered analyst with a real following. Just go in knowing the free channel is equity-heavy and the return-projection style is louder than the calmer channels above.
Best for: Equity traders who occasionally want option ideas from a registered name.
Honest note: Options sit behind a premium tier; return framing is promotional.
9. Usha’s Analysis: active and sizable, but multi-segment
Usha’s Analysis, around 37K followers, is real, active, and posts throughout the trading day. The reason it carries a caveat is that it is not an options-only channel: it mixes equity, futures, options, and commodity tips, and we could not find a SEBI registration number displayed anywhere. The tone also tends toward performance-boasting captions like “40% gains” and “one of the best in all segments”, which is standard tips-selling promotion.
If you follow it, treat the options content as one part of a broader tips feed, and remember that without a visible registration number you are relying on an unregistered voice. That is fine as long as you know it and size accordingly.
Best for: Traders who want an active, all-segment tips feed and treat options as a slice of it.
Honest note: No SEBI number shown; promotional tone; not options-focused.
10. Sairam Stocks: options-focused, but verify the registration
Sairam Stocks, around 15K followers, does focus on index options, Bank Nifty and Nifty, plus sector picks with entry, target, and stop-loss. It is active and options-relevant, which is why it makes the list. The caveats are real, though: the channel’s description shows a SEBI RA line but the number is cut off in the preview, so we could not confirm it, and the captions run hot with lines like “super duper day over” and a funnel to a paid WhatsApp group.
Include it in your watching only if you personally confirm the registration number first. An options-focused channel is useful, but an unconfirmed “SEBI registered” claim plus hype captions is exactly the combination you should double-check before trusting with real trades.
Best for: Index option traders willing to verify the registration themselves.
Honest note: Registration number not fully shown; hype captions; paid-group funnel.
The channels we deliberately left out
This is the part other lists skip, and it is the most important. While checking channels for this article, we found several popular or heavily promoted names that we refuse to recommend. Naming the pattern matters more than naming individuals, because the same tricks repeat under new names every month.
- Account-handling and credential harvesting. One well-known name resolved to a channel promising “20 to 30 percent daily returns” and asking followers to share their demat login for “profit sharing”. That is not trading, it is how you lose your entire account. Never share broker credentials with anyone, ever.
- “SEBI Registered” in the name, no number anywhere. A channel that puts “SEBI Registered” in its title but shows no registration number is trying to borrow trust it has not earned. If the number is not there to check, treat the claim as false.
- Fake clones of real analysts. At least one genuinely registered analyst has an active impersonator channel with a near-identical name, running penny-stock pumps. Always reach a channel through a link the analyst publishes on their own verified website or YouTube, not a search result.
- “Sureshot” and “99% accuracy” claims. Any channel promising fixed profit or near-perfect accuracy is lying by definition. Options are probabilistic. Nobody wins 99% of the time.

How to choose an option trading Telegram channel without getting scammed
You do not need to be an expert to filter out the bad ones. Run any channel through this checklist before you trust it with attention, let alone money:
- Check the SEBI status, then verify it. If a channel claims to be run by a registered Research Analyst, note the number and confirm it yourself. Our step-by-step on verifying a SEBI-registered advisor takes two minutes. If it is not registered, that is fine for education, but you should know you are following an unregistered voice.
- Read the disclaimers. Honest channels say “educational only” and “do your own research”. Dishonest ones promise profit. The disclaimer tells you a lot about the intent behind the channel.
- Look for guaranteed-return language. “Sureshot”, “fixed daily profit”, “100% accuracy”, “risk-free” are all disqualifying. Real traders talk about probability and risk, not certainty.
- Never share your demat login. No legitimate channel needs your broker credentials. Any “account handling” or “profit sharing” offer is a scam.
- Paper-trade the calls first. Before you risk a rupee, follow the channel for a few weeks and track its calls on paper. You will learn more about its real accuracy than any testimonial can tell you.
Red flags checklist
- Promises of guaranteed or fixed daily returns
- “Sureshot”, “jackpot”, or “99% accuracy” language
- Offers to trade your account for a profit share
- Requests for your demat or broker login
- “SEBI Registered” in the name with no registration number shown
- Constant pressure to pay for a premium or VIP group
- Screenshots of only winning trades and never a loss
Free vs paid option trading channels: which is worth it?
Free channels are genuinely good for learning. The best free ones on this list, like Ghanshyam Tech Analysis and Options Guide, teach you to read charts and the option chain, which is a skill that lasts. Paid tiers usually get you faster, more detailed calls and a smaller community, and they can be worth it once you already understand what you are doing and can judge the quality.
The mistake is paying for calls before you can evaluate them. If you cannot yet tell a good option setup from a bad one, a paid channel just lets you lose money faster and with more confidence. Learn on the free channels first, paper-trade, and only pay once you can hold a paid channel accountable for the quality of its calls.
A quick options glossary for beginners
- Call (CE) and Put (PE): A call gains when the price rises; a put gains when it falls.
- Strike price: The level at which an option is set. Channels often post “Nifty 24500 CE”, meaning the 24500 call.
- Premium: The price you pay to buy an option. It is what you risk as a buyer.
- Option chain: The full table of strikes with their prices, volume, and open interest. Reading it is a core skill.
- Open interest (OI): The number of open contracts at a strike. Big OI often marks support or resistance levels.
- Implied volatility (IV): The market’s expectation of future movement. High IV means expensive options.
- Expiry: The day an option contract settles. Index options in India expire weekly and monthly.
A lot of these channels focus on index options, and Bank Nifty is the most traded of them all. If that is your target, our list of the best Bank Nifty Telegram channels goes deeper on that index specifically, and our beginner explainer on what Bank Nifty actually is covers the basics.
Frequently asked questions
Which is the best Telegram channel for option trading in India?
There is no single best channel, because the right one depends on what you trade and how much verification you want. For SEBI-registered, broker-backed index views, CA Nitin Murarka (SMC) has the strongest trust profile. For free technical education, Ghanshyam Tech Analysis is one of the best. Match the channel to your need rather than chasing a number-one label.
Are option trading Telegram channels SEBI registered?
Some are, many are not. Channels like CA Nitin Murarka, Stock Gainers, Flying Calls, and Aakanksha Option Trading display SEBI Research Analyst numbers. Others, like Ghanshyam Tech Analysis and Harsh Bhagat, openly state they are not registered and are for education only. Always confirm any stated registration number on the SEBI website yourself.
Which is the best free Telegram channel for option trading?
Among the free options, Ghanshyam Tech Analysis stands out for genuine technical education, and Options Guide is excellent for learning to read the option chain. Both are upfront that they are not SEBI-registered and are for study only, which is exactly the honesty you want in a free channel.
Are free option trading channels any good?
Yes, the good free ones are excellent for learning. Free channels that teach you to read charts and the option chain build a skill that lasts. Paid tiers make more sense later, once you can judge the quality of the calls yourself and hold the channel accountable.
Can I actually learn options trading from Telegram?
You can learn the concepts, chart reading, and option-chain basics from good educational channels, and that is a real benefit. What you should not do is copy live calls blindly. Use the channels to understand the reasoning behind trades, then practise on paper before risking money.
Is it safe to follow option tips on Telegram?
It is safe to learn from them, but never safe to follow calls blindly. Options are high-risk, and no channel can guarantee profit. Avoid any channel that promises fixed returns, calls itself “sureshot”, or asks to handle your account. Those are scams, not signals.
How do I verify if a channel’s SEBI registration is real?
Note the registration number the channel displays, then look it up in SEBI’s public Research Analyst records. Our guide on how to verify a SEBI-registered advisor walks through the exact steps. If a channel claims to be registered but shows no number, treat the claim as false.
Should I pay for a premium option trading channel?
Only after you can evaluate the calls yourself. Paying for tips before you understand option setups just lets you lose money faster. Learn on free channels, paper-trade for a few weeks, and pay only when you can judge whether a paid channel’s calls are actually good.
Are option trading calls on Telegram actually profitable?
Some calls work and some do not, and honest channels never hide the losers. Over any real sample, no channel is right all the time. Treat every call as one probabilistic idea to cross-check with your own analysis, not a guaranteed win, and manage your position size accordingly.
What is the difference between index option and stock option channels?
Index option channels focus on Nifty, Bank Nifty, and Sensex options, which are highly liquid and move with the broad market. Stock option channels post calls on individual company options, which can move sharply on company-specific news. Channels like Stock Gainers cover both, while Aakanksha Option Trading leans index-only.
How many members should a good option trading channel have?
Size is a weak signal on its own. A 286K-member channel can be pure education while a 15K channel can be sharper and more focused. Judge the actual posts, the honesty of the disclaimers, and the SEBI status, not the follower count. Big numbers can even be inflated to look credible.
Can I trust channels that post profit screenshots?
Be careful. Screenshots are the easiest thing to fake or cherry-pick, and a channel that only ever shows winners and never a loss is showing you marketing, not reality. Trust transparency about losing trades and clear disclaimers far more than a wall of green screenshots.
Do SEBI-registered channels give better calls than free ones?
Not necessarily better calls, but more accountability. A registered Research Analyst is answerable to a regulator, which raises the cost of being reckless. The quality of analysis still varies from one registered analyst to another, so registration is a trust filter, not a guarantee of accuracy.
What should a beginner look for in an option trading channel?
Look for education over tips, honest disclaimers, no guaranteed-return language, and a clear SEBI status. A channel that teaches you to read the option chain and manage risk is worth far more to a beginner than one that just fires strike prices at you all day.
Is it legal to share option trading tips on Telegram in India?
Giving specific buy and sell recommendations as a business without SEBI registration is against SEBI rules, which is why many honest channels label their content “educational only” and state they are not registered. Registered Research Analysts can share research views within the regulations. As a follower, prefer channels that are clear about which side of that line they sit on.
The bottom line
The best option trading Telegram channel is the one that is honest about what it is. The registered analysts on this list give you accountability you can verify; the transparent free channels give you education without pretending to sell certainty. The channels we left out share one trait: they promise what no one in options can deliver. If you remember only one line from this article, make it this one. Nobody can guarantee profit in options, and anyone who says they can is the person you should walk away from.
