This helps you identify which shares are settled and which shares are still in the settlement process.
When you buy equity shares, they do not get credited to your Demat account immediately. Shares purchased on a trading day are usually credited on the next trading day, based on the applicable settlement cycle.
Until the shares are credited to your Demat account, the purchased quantity is shown as T1 quantity. Once the settlement is completed, the T1 tag is automatically removed and the shares become part of your regular holdings.
You can view T1 quantity under the Stocks section in Holdings. The unsettled quantity is marked with a T1 label so that you can distinguish it from your settled holdings.
The ability to sell T1 shares depends on whether the stock is eligible for the BTST. BTST stands for Buy Today, Sell Tomorrow, which allows eligible shares to be sold before they are fully credited to your Demat account.
If BTST is not available for the stock, you can sell the shares only after they are credited to your Demat account.
T1 shares cannot be pledged because the settlement process is still pending. Only shares that have been credited to your Demat account are eligible for pledging or use as collateral.
| Action | Available for T1 quantity? |
|---|---|
| Track performance, including P&L | Yes |
| Sell the shares | Only if BTST is available for the stock |
| Use as collateral or pledge | No |
| View in Holdings | Yes, with a T1 indicator |
In most cases, shares are credited on the next trading day. However, the credit may be delayed if there is a market holiday, settlement holiday, or any settlement-related delay.
Once the shares are credited to your Demat account, the T1 indicator will be removed automatically.
