Hello. Is it legal for a person to give recommendation on stock buying and selling in lieu of a part of the profit? For example, if a stock adviser provides his stock buying recommendation on the condition that at the end of the month a fixed per percentage of the profit made from those recommendations will be shared with him: will this be legal under Indian laws?

If they are entering into such contractual agreement then there should not be any invalidity in that provided the contract is not null and void

Yes, in India, it is mandatory to register as an Investment Advisor (RIA) with the SEBI to provide stock/equity advice for compensation.

The condition is too vague to be implemented or given effect.
