SEBI, through this circular, introduced DDPI, to prevent misuse of POA. DDPI (Demat Debit and Pledge Instruction) is an authorization by the clients to the broker to their Demat Accounts.  DDPI limits debiting shares from your account for following reasons only:

1) Transfer  of   securities  held  in  the  beneficial owner  accounts  towards sale of shares

2) Pledging/re-pledging of securities  in favour of  trading   member  (TM)  /  clearing  member (CM) for   the  purpose  of   meeting  margin requirements of the clients in connection with the trades  executed  by  the  clients   on  the Stock Exchange

3) Mutual Fund transactions being executed on Stock Exchange order entry platforms 

4) Tendering shares in open offers through Stock Exchange platforms and for Buy Backs

Why should I enable DDPI for my Account

1) If you are on Rocket Trading Platform and not yet submitted POA/DDPI 

When you are trading on Rocket Platform, you will be required to enter OTP whenever you sell shares to authorize delivery of the shares through EDIS (Electronic Delivery Instruction Slip) . If you see this as hassle while placing the sell orders, you can enable DDPI and place the sell order seamlessly.

2) If you are on Rocket Plus Trading Platform and not yet submitted POA/DDPI  

eDIS facility is not available on Rocket Plus Trading Platform. Hence if you are looking to do Equity Delivery Transactions through on Rocket Plus Trading Platform, it is essential for you to enable DDPI
