Can pledged securities be instantly sold without placing an unpledge request?

Yes, the pledged holdings can be sold without placing an unpledge request by placing a sell order on Kite using CNC product type. To learn more, visit zerodha.com/z-connect/tradezerodha/kite/instantly-sell-pledged-stocks-on-kite.

The collateral margin will be reduced to the extent of the shares sold. The shares will be sold directly upon placing a sell order if the client has already submitted a DDPI /POA. However, if the DDPI/POA is not submitted, the sell transaction must be authorised using the CDSL T-PIN. Selling pledged mutual funds instantly will not be allowed since the sale proceeds are directly credited to the client's primary bank account.
