Quick answer
To protect a colour trading account: use a unique password you use nowhere else, never share your OTP, UPI PIN or password with anyone (including “support”), lock your phone and log out on shared devices, check beneficiary bank details yourself before saving them, review login and transaction records regularly, and use only in-app support. If you suspect access, change your password at once.

- Log out on shared phones and leave Remember password off.
- Check beneficiary details yourself name, account number and IFSC.
- Review records weekly deposits, withdrawals and logins.

Keep only your session budget in the wallet. Withdraw anything you want to keep. Add a beneficiary account yourself, double-check the name and IFSC, and be suspicious of any request to change beneficiary details. Read withdrawal for how beneficiary setup usually works.

No. Anyone asking for an OTP is not genuine support.

Change it immediately if you shared it or used a suspicious page. Otherwise a strong unique password is more important than frequent changes.
