Or maybe you&#8217;re ready to place a trade, and your broker flashes a warning: \u201cThis stock is under ASM surveillance.\u201d But what does it actually mean? What is ASM? Should you avoid it or stay invested? And most importantly, how does it affect your trading or investing decisions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s see!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"0-what-is-asm\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_ASM\"><\/span>What is ASM?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ASM full form is Additional Surveillance Measure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ASM meaning is simple. It is a tool introduced by SEBI and implemented by NSE and BSE to closely monitor stocks that show abnormal price or volume behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a stock becomes unusually volatile, shows large price jumps without any reason, or sees suspiciously high trading activity, it is flagged for surveillance under the ASM framework. This is done to alert investors and protect them from possible market manipulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a stock is put under ASM, it is not a penalty or a warning against the company\u2019s business. It is only a sign that the stock\u2019s price movement is not matching its fundamentals or usual trading pattern, and therefore, it needs to be watched more closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-why-was-asm-introduced\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Was_ASM_Introduced\"><\/span>Why Was ASM Introduced?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Indian markets, many small-cap or mid-cap stocks often see unpredictable price movements. Sometimes, operators or large investors try to create artificial demand to pump up the price and trap retail investors. This is called a pump and dump scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To stop such manipulation and reduce risk for retail traders, SEBI introduced the ASM mechanism. It works as a caution sign, alerting traders and investors that the stock is behaving abnormally and extra care should be taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/shoonya.com\/open-an-account\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=cta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#d79b30\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Now, invest in stocks, bonds, IPOs, and more, with a free demat account!<\/mark><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-stocks-under-additional-surveillance-measures-\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stocks_Under_Additional_Surveillance_Measures\"><\/span><strong>Stocks Under Additional Surveillance Measures<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ASM stocks are put on a watchlist if they exhibit unusual price movements, high volume variances, or other risk indicators. The purpose is to protect retail investors and maintain market integrity by reducing speculation and the potential for market manipulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Now_What_Happens_When_a_Stock_is_Under_ASM\"><\/span><strong>Now, What Happens When a Stock is Under ASM?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a stock enters the ASM list, certain restrictions are applied to make trading safer and less speculative. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Stricter trading restrictions apply:<\/strong> No intraday leverage (such as cover\/basket orders), and stocks cannot be pledged as collateral.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>100% margin requirement:<\/strong> After five days on the list, buying or selling the stock requires the full value upfront, effectively preventing margin trading.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tighter circuit filters:<\/strong> Price movement is restricted\u2014typically to a 5% daily limit\u2014so the stock cannot move up or down by more than this percentage in a single trading session.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lower trading volume likely:<\/strong> Reduced leverage and pledging options may lead to fewer trades, lowering liquidity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Normal corporate actions unaffected:<\/strong> Dividends, splits, or bonuses still apply as usual; being on the ASM list does not imply wrongdoing by the company or any penalty.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-how-are-stocks-selected-for-asm\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Are_Stocks_Selected_for_ASM\"><\/span>How Are Stocks Selected for ASM?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stocks are not picked randomly. Exchanges follow a well-defined set of rules to decide which stocks need to be monitored under ASM.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the common triggers include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sharp price movement over a short period<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is a large difference in trading volume compared to the past few weeks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High price-to-earnings ratio compared to similar companies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sudden rise in derivative positions or delivery percentage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Low market capitalisation with high volatility<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once a stock meets one or more of these criteria, it is shortlisted for ASM. A final list is published by NSE and BSE on their respective websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-types-of-asm-you-must-know\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_ASM_You_Must_Know\"><\/span>Types of ASM You Must Know<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two primary types of ASM in the stock market: short-term and long-term, each with specific criteria and surveillance actions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Short-Term_ASM\"><\/span><strong>Short-Term ASM<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Short-term ASM focuses on securities that show sudden price movements or abnormally high trading volumes over a short period. This kind of behaviour often indicates speculative activity. These surveillance measures are implemented to curb rapid price fluctuations and prevent possible market manipulation within a short timeframe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Long-Term_ASM\"><\/span><strong>Long-Term ASM<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Long-term ASM applies to securities that display sustained price changes, unusual trading patterns, or fundamental weaknesses over a longer duration. These may include illiquid stocks or stocks with low market capitalisation and poor fundamentals. The purpose of long-term ASM is to control long-term risks and reduce the chances of manipulation in such counters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-asm-stages\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ASM_Stages\"><\/span>ASM Stages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both short-term and long-term ASM categories are divided into multiple ASM stages, depending on the stock\u2019s trading behaviour and risk level.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"406\" src=\"https:\/\/shoonya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/NSE-ASM-List-1-1024x406.jpg\" alt=\"NSE ASM List\" class=\"wp-image-13729\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shoonya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/NSE-ASM-List-1-1024x406.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/shoonya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/NSE-ASM-List-1-300x119.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shoonya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/NSE-ASM-List-1-768x304.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shoonya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/NSE-ASM-List-1-1536x609.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/shoonya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/NSE-ASM-List-1-1200x476.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/shoonya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/NSE-ASM-List-1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">NSE ASM List<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>The image shows the NSE ASM list as of 7th August 2025, highlighting stocks under Long-Term and Short-Term surveillance stages.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-long-term-asm-\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Long-Term_ASM-2\"><\/span><strong>Long-Term ASM<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is used for stocks that show risky price patterns over a longer time. Here are the stages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stage 1: <\/strong>Stocks are picked based on set rules. From the third trading day (T+3), investors must pay <strong>100% margin<\/strong>, meaning they need to pay the full amount upfront to buy or sell these stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stage 2: <\/strong>The daily price band (how much a stock can move up or down in one day) is made tighter. <strong>100% margin<\/strong> still applies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stage 3: <\/strong>The price band is reduced even more to limit sharp movements. The full margin requirement continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stage 4: <\/strong>This is the strictest level. Trades are settled on a gross basis (no netting off, every trade is handled separately). A tight price band, like 5% is set. 100% margin remains in force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-short-term-asm\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Short-Term_ASM-2\"><\/span>Short-Term ASM<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is used for stocks that show sudden price spikes or heavy trading in a short period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stage 1: <\/strong>Stocks are flagged and given a chance to respond or clarify if there&#8217;s any news or reason for the movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stage 2: <\/strong>Stocks are further reviewed and may be asked to maintain <strong>higher margins<\/strong>, depending on the risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These checks ensure that only stocks showing genuine signs of unusual activity are brought under the <strong>ASM framework<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-where-can-you-find-the-asm-list\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_Can_You_Find_the_ASM_List\"><\/span>Where Can You Find the ASM List?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both NSE and BSE update the ASM list regularly. You can visit their official websites and look for &#8220;ASM List&#8221; under their surveillance or circulars section. The list will mention whether the stock is under short-term or long-term ASM and what stage it is in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-is-asm-good-or-bad\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_ASM_Good_or_Bad\"><\/span>Is ASM Good or Bad?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ASM is not a bad thing. It is like a red flag that helps you slow down and re-evaluate. If used wisely, it can save you from making impulsive trades in risky stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A stock under ASM may just be in a temporary phase of volatility or unusual activity. If the fundamentals are good and prices settle, the stock may exit ASM after review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through ASM, SEBI aims to maintain market stability by noticing and preventing potential manipulative activities, price distortions, or extreme speculation in identified securities. By imposing these stricter rules and regulations, ASM helps in controlling unreasonable price movements and reducing risks associated with certain company stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"10-final-thoughts\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span>Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ASM is an important part of the stock market&#8217;s safety system. It protects investors from stocks that are moving without clear reasons. Whether you are a trader or long-term investor, knowing about ASM helps you make smarter, more informed decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you invest in any high-priced or low-volume <a href=\"https:\/\/equitylogy.in\/best-stock-broker-in-india\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stock<\/a>, always check if it is under ASM. It could be the difference between a smart trade and a regretful one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"11-what-is-asm-faqs\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_ASM_FAQs\"><\/span>What is ASM | FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1754910201320\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>1.
