What is DDPI?

DDPI (Demat Debit and Pledge Instructions) is a document that allows a stockbroker (like Angel One) to debit the securities from your demat account upon their sale and deliver them to the exchange. 

This means once the DDPI is submitted, you do not have to enter the CDSL T-PIN and OTP to sell any shares you hold. However, using the DDPI is voluntary, and you can continue selling shares by entering the T-PIN for every transaction. 

Earlier, a POA (i.e. Power of Attorney) could be used for debiting the shares from the client’s account. However, the facility of POA is no longer available for new users – DDPI is now offered instead.
