List where day to day change of symbol is mantained

ishdutt

Every day, Zerodha changes the symbol of some stocks. From normal stock to a BE stock. Like GLOBUSSPR recently got converted to BE.

Any docs which I can parse every day so that to keep myself updated on these symbol changes?

Stocks can be moved to BE, BZ, BL series (called trade to trade segment) by the exchange for any reason, after few days it is moved back to EQ segment by the exchange. We just follow whatever is being provided by the exchange.
There are various reasons why stocks are moved to Trade to trade segment, one of it could be to curb the speculation on that stock.
