  • Enter the OTP on the NSDL page to approve the pledge.
  • Once the pledge is approved, margins will be provided against the pledged stock from T+1.
  • The fee for pledging will continue to remain the same. This is because there is a cost levied by the depository to create the pledge and re-pledge.
  • The stocks thus pledged as Collateral will not reflect in the trading terminal. In case, you prefer to sell any such collateral stocks, you need to send us write to us from our Support Portal here before 1 pm. The stocks will be released and made visible in your normal holdings the next day to enable you sell them online.
