What is Demat Debit and Pledge Instruction (DDPI) and how to activate DDPI?

  • DDPI: - It is a document that allows a broker to debit the securities from the client’s demat account and deliver them to the exchange. The client does not have to enter the CDSL T-PIN and OTP to sell shares once the DDPI is submitted.
  • Earlier, POA(Power of Authority):- was collected for the same purpose. However, there have been many instances of misuse of POA as:
    1. by debiting shares without a sell trade, 
    2. breaking POA clauses, 
    3. trading on a client's account based on a POA, etc

SEBI REPLACED POA FROM DDPI (on 19th Nov. 2022): 

  • To prevent misuse of POA(Power of Authority), SEBI through a circular has introduced DDPI, which limits debiting shares from a client’s account only if there’s a sell trade placed by the client.
