Digitisation of equity trading process has helped in closing many loopholes; made execution speedy and bookkeeping less cumbersome. Taking it one step further, CDSL has introduced TPIN, which will enable investors to authorise action on their accounts virtually in a 100 percent secure manner. This will offer an additional layer of security to your DEMAT account. In the new process, you’ll have to enter a unique One Time Sell Authorisation pin sent on your mobile to validate the transaction. The PIN is directly generated by CDSL and forwarded to your number.
You can now enjoy this facility on your Angel One DEMAT account.
A little bit of background
When you open a DEMAT account with Angel One, it authorises you to place buy and sell orders with BSE and NSE. And, your account gets registered with CDSL. Both are independent authorities. When you place an order to ‘buy’, Angel One on your behalf virtually receive the shares and then shift those to your DEMAT account with CDSL. Similarly, when you decide to sell, the shares are removed from your electronic account and get transferred to the exchange. So far, to sell on your behalf, broking houses needed a POA (Power of Attorney) from the client. CDSL TPIN will eliminate POA from the system by allowing traders to give their consent through a uniquely generated code.
It is an appropriate and necessary step from CDSL. When the entire process of opening a DEMAT account has become online, signing a POA remained a manual process (it can’t be signed online). Using CDSL TPIN will make clients more confident and the process more transparent.
Disadvantages of using e-DIS
Clients, who haven’t signed POA were required to transact using e-DIS (Electronic – Delivery Instruction Slip). But there was one issue with this system. There were no ways for CDSL to confirm if the correct PIN is used before authorising the transaction. This new process of CDSL TPIN, applicable from June 1, 2020, will also replace the old e-DIS system.
So, what is CDSL TPIN? In a word, it is pin-based pre-authorisation for selling stocks by CDSL. It is improved and more technically advanced authorisation process.
