Yes. If DDPI is not active and POA has not been submitted, you must authorise the sell quantity using your CDSL TPIN and OTP before selling delivery holdings.
You can complete authorisation while placing the sell order or from Holdings > Authorisation. Holdings authorisation is valid only for the same trading day..
| Scenario | Solution |
|---|---|
| I want to sell only part of my holdings | Enter only the quantity you want to sell in the order window before placing the order. |
| I’m asked to authorise my holdings | Complete the CDSL TPIN and OTP verification. This is required unless DDPI/POA is active. |
| I want to place a GTT sell order | Enable DDPI first. GTT sell orders are not supported through TPIN authorisation. |
| My sell order is placed, but the stock still appears under Positions | This is expected. When you sell a holding, it may appear under Positions for that trading day by default. You can ignore this if the sell order is executed successfully. The P&L shown under Positions is calculated based on the difference between the current LTP and your selling price. |
| My sell order is placed but holdings still show the same quantity | Check the live status under Orders. Holdings update after the order is executed and processed. |
| I see T1 quantity in holdings | T1 shares are under settlement and may not be available for selling until settlement is completed. |
