Holdings

Shortcut key – H

Stocks bought as CNC (equity delivery) start showing up in holdings from the next trading day (shows up in the position tab on the day of purchase). But the settlement cycle for stocks is two days (T+2), so stocks will be in the demat account only after two days from purchase. Until stocks are delivered, they show up as T1 holdings. Once the stocks are delivered, the quantity will be represented in the marketwatch with a briefcase symbol.

In the event that the stocks are short-delivered, the stock will be tagged as short along with the quantity that was short-delivered.

Holdings can be downloaded as CSV or Excel files.

CDSL TPIN

Non-POA customers need to use the CDSL TPIN and OTP to authorise the debit of securities from the demat account against a delivery sale transaction. CDSL TPIN is sent to the registered email and mobile number. It can be generated if it has not been received. See How do I generate the CDSL TPIN required to authorise my CNC sell transactions?

CDSL authorisation is valid for 1 day. To know how to authorise the holdings, please see What is the CDSL TPIN and how do I use it to sell my stock holdings?

Once the holdings are sold, they will start showing up as a negative quantity in the positions menu until the end of that particular trading day. If required, this allows buying back the shares sold before the end of the day, treating it as an intraday trade. All such repurchases within the trading day will be considered intraday trades when calculating STT and all other charges. The holding period will also remain unaffected. If there is no intent to buy back the shares after selling from holdings, disregard CNC sell positions in the positions tab on the day the shares are sold.
