What is it? Read on…
After Account Opening Process
Power Of Attorney (POA) is a limited level of permission that you give us (broker) to debit shares from the Demat account whenever you sell the shares.
If you have not submitted the POA, you will be able to sell shares by using the CDSL TPIN mode. This model has a restriction of a maximum of ₹ 1 crore sell transactions per day.
If you have a portfolio of over ₹ 1 crore and wish to sell more than ₹ 1 crore of stocks from your holding in a day, you will have to send us the POA.
You will receive the POA Form via mail when your account is activated or you can find the POA Form here.
