The procedure for selling dematerialized securities is very simple.

After you have sold the securities, you would instruct your DP to debit your account with the number of securities sold by you and credit your broker’s clearing account. This delivery instruction has to be given to your DP using the delivery instruction slips given to you by your DP at the time of opening the account. Procedure for selling securities is given here below:

• You sell securities in any of the stock exchanges linked to NSDL through a broker.
