Who is IGC Markets?
IGC Markets markets itself as an online trading and investment service. Its public site is presented at https://igcmarkets.com/. As with most operations of this kind, the polished front end conceals a lack of the basic protections a real, regulated broker is required to provide.
Is IGC Markets regulated?
We could find no evidence that IGC Markets holds a valid licence from any recognised financial regulator. Trading client funds without authorisation is one of the strongest indicators of a scam — there is no regulator to complain to, and no protection for your money.
Red flags we identified
- No credible physical address or verifiable corporate record
- Account dashboards that show “gains” with no real market exposure
- Unrealistic profit claims and pressure to deposit more
- No verifiable licence from a recognised financial regulator
- Offshore or shell-company registration used to avoid oversight
