What Is DDPI?

DDPI (Demat Debit & Pledge Instruction) is a one-time permission you provide to Samco, allowing us to debit shares when you sell them and to pledge shares for margin trading through StockPlus.

In simple words it’s a digital permission slip that helps you trade without having to manually approve every transaction using a T-PIN or OTP.

How DDPI Helps You at Samco?

Before DDPI, every time you sold shares, you had to enter your TPIN and OTP to confirm the transaction. Now, with DDPI activated, Samco can automatically debit your sold shares or pledge them only when you authorize those specific actions.

Here’s how it helps:

• You can sell your shares instantly without worrying about entering OTPs each time.
• You can pledge shares for margin under Samco’s StockPlus feature quickly and easily.
• You’ll experience faster settlement since the process is seamless.

And most importantly you stay in control. DDPI doesn’t give unrestricted access; it only works for approved actions related to your trading and pledging needs.

Why DDPI Is Safe

Security is always at the heart of Samco’s services. With DDPI:

• Samco can only debit or pledge shares linked to your specific transactions.
• Your other holdings remain untouched and protected.
• All actions are carried out through SEBI-approved processes, ensuring full compliance and safety.

So, you get the convenience of instant execution without compromising your account’s security.
