Buying securities in BSE GSM stage 2

[nyadav]

Is there any way to buy securities in BSE GSM stage 2 through Zerodha? By default its not allowed. Do I need to put a special request for that?

Unable to buy GSM stocks

When you buy GSM/S+ stocks of stage II or higher, an Additional Surveillance Deposit(ASD) of 100% of your investment value is blocked for a period of 5 months and released only after that, regardless of when you sell the stock. Clients are usually unaware of this and it always comes to them as a rude shock. As a result, trading in these stocks have been blocked at Zerodha.
