What is eDIS and why do I need a CDSL TPIN to sell delivery shares?

When you sell delivery shares from your demat account, SEBI regulations require that you explicitly authorise the transfer of shares from your demat account to the exchange. This authorisation happens through eDIS (Electronic Delivery Instruction Slip) and requires your CDSL TPIN (Transaction Personal Identification Number).

What is eDIS?

eDIS (Electronic Delivery Instruction Slip) is an electronic instruction from you to CDSL (your depository) to release the shares you want to sell. Without this instruction, CDSL cannot transfer the shares even if the trade is executed on the exchange.

What is CDSL TPIN?

CDSL TPIN is a 6-digit PIN issued by CDSL. It is separate from your Sahi login PIN or transaction PIN. You need it to authenticate your eDIS request each time you sell delivery shares.

How to generate your CDSL TPIN (first time)

1. Go to the CDSL website (cdsl.com)
2. Click on Generate TPIN
3. Enter your BO ID (Beneficiary Owner ID, found on your demat account opening statement)
4. Set your 6-digit TPIN and confirm it

How eDIS works when selling delivery shares in Sahi

1. Place a CNC (Cash and Carry) sell order on Sahi
2. Sahi prompts you to authorise the sale via eDIS
3. You are redirected to the CDSL eDIS authorisation page
4. Enter your BO ID and CDSL TPIN
5. Confirm the authorisation
6. Your sell order proceeds and settles normally

Important

• eDIS authorisation is required for every delivery sell order unless you have enabled DDPI.
• Without eDIS authorisation, your trade settlement will fail and a short delivery penalty may apply

Tip: You can reset your CDSL TPIN at any time on the CDSL website. Your BO ID is mentioned on your demat account opening statement received at the time of account opening.
