Add a stock to your watchlist
Your watchlist keeps the stocks you follow one tap away, with live prices every time you open Punji. You can add a stock three ways: from search, by tapping the star on any stock list, or from the watchlist screen. Here is each.
6 steps · 3 ways · updated 2 August 2026Manage what a stock notifies you about
Once a stock is on your watchlist, tap its star again to choose exactly what Punji notifies you about: big price moves, key dates, and more, or mute it entirely. Each toggle is per stock, so you stay in control.
3 steps · updated 2 August 2026Track a holding in your portfolio
Add a stock you own to see its live value, profit and loss, and all-time return. Open Portfolio, add a holding manually, pick the stock, enter your shares and buy price, and save. Punji then tracks it against the live market.
6 steps · updated 2 August 2026Set a price alert
Get notified when a stock crosses a price you choose. Open Alerts, tap +, pick whether the price should go above or fall below your target, enter the target, and create the alert. Punji notifies you when it triggers.
5 steps · updated 2 August 2026Backtest a monthly investment
See how investing a fixed amount every month in one stock would have performed. Enter a symbol and a monthly amount, then run the backtest. Punji shows the returns, units bought, and average cost over time.
4 steps · updated 2 August 2026Calculate buy cost and fees
Work out the true cost of a trade before you place it. Open the calculator, enter the number of shares and your buy price, and Punji instantly shows the total cost, broker commission, SEBON and DP fees, and your breakeven price.
3 steps · updated 2 August 2026Compare stocks side by side
Line up a few stocks to compare their price, returns, and fundamentals at a glance. Open Compare, tap Add stock, and pick the securities you want. Punji shows them side by side so differences are easy to spot.
3 steps · updated 2 August 2026Analyze a stock chart
Open any stock, expand its chart to full screen, and layer on technical indicators. Add moving averages, RSI, MACD, Stochastic or ATR, tune their parameters, and read momentum and trend without leaving Punji.
5 steps · updated 6 August 2026Post in the community

12 steps · 3 ways · updated 24 September 2026Place a trade in the Arena
The Arena lets you practice trading with virtual money at live market prices, with no real cash at risk. Choose Buy or Sell, pick a stock, enter a quantity and price, and place the order. Your virtual portfolio and rank update as prices move.
6 steps · updated 2 August 2026Check your IPO allotment
Find out whether your IPO application was allotted, on the day the result is published rather than the day after. Open IPO results, pick the issue, tap Check, and enter the code CDSC shows you. Punji reads the official result for each of your accounts and shows allotted or not, with the number of units.
5 steps · updated 26 August 2026Import holdings from MeroShare
Connect your MeroShare account once and Punji imports your real holdings automatically, with no manual entry. Add the account with your MeroShare login, then run a sync from Portfolio. Your credentials stay encrypted on your device.
7 steps · 2 ways · updated 2 August 2026Release shares you have sold (EDIS)
When you sell shares, they still have to be released from your demat on the same day, in MeroShare, with your transaction PIN. Open Share Transfers in Punji to see whether any of your accounts has something waiting today, then release it in MeroShare under Transfer Shares.
4 steps · updated 26 August 2026Apply a bonus share to your portfolio
When a company you hold closes its book for a bonus issue, Punji works out how many shares you earned and offers to add them. Open notifications, read the card, and tap Apply. Your quantity goes up, your total cost does not, and you can undo it the same day.
4 steps · updated 18 September 2026Find stocks near their yearly high
Price Action keeps ready-made lists of what the market is doing right now, including every stock trading within 10% of its highest price of the past year. Search for Price Action, open the Near yearly high tile, and read the ranked list. Each row says how far below that high the stock is, with a coloured dot for its move today.
