Demat Debit Pledge Instruction (DDPI) facilitates pledging securities in your Demat account as collateral for margin requirements. It enables selling purchase transactions without Sell Authorization or T-pin. Unlike the traditional POA/DDPI, DDPI allows limited access to your Demat account for secondary market transactions only.

Key Points:

- DDPI is optional and not mandatory for account opening.

- It applies to pledging or repledging securities.

- With DDPI, you authorise the broker for limited access to your account for: Settling trades executed by you and pledging/re-pledging securities to meet margin requirements.

-The utilisation of DDPI will be restricted to two specific purposes:

•  Facilitating the transfer of securities from the client's account for stock exchange-related deliveries or settling obligations resulting from executed trades.
• Allowing the pledging or re-pledging of securities to the Trading Member (TM) to fulfil margin requirements.

- It serves the same purpose as POA/DDPI, preventing misuse.

- Clients can opt for DDPI or use physical/electronic Delivery Instruction Slips (DIS/eDIS) for settlement.
