Sale/Delivery of Securities.

Securities transactions can be settled in demat form for the transactions done on stock exchanges connected to NSDL/CDSL. Trading in dematerialised securities is done through your broker just like trading in physical securities.

Delivery of security

To deliver securities in electronic form, you have to authorise the DP to transfer balances from your account.

1.  Getting instruction slips (TIFD/IDT booklets)

2. Filling up an instruction slip (TIFD/IDT)

The request should be filled up in the appropriate slip issued to you. For transferring securities to an account within NSDL, use TIFD slips. For transferring securities from an account within NSDL to an account with CDSL, use IDT slips.

There are two common types of accounts within NSDL/CDSL - beneficiary accounts (opened by the normal investors) and clearing member pool accounts (opened by brokers). Accordingly, there are two types of transfers possible with TIFDs.

An instruction for transfer of security from a Beneficiary Account to a Clearing Member Account (Broker's pool account) is termed as a Market TIFD. This is for delivering securities to the broker for onward delivery to the stock exchange towards fulfilling settlement obligations in respect of trades done on a stock exchange (Market Trades).

An instruction for transfer of security from a Beneficiary Account to another Beneficiary Account is termed as an Off Market TIFD (Off Market Trades).

The following points are to be noted:

Details are to be filled up only for Market Trades on a TIFD slip.

You should submit the slip latest by 4 p.m. on business day prior to the execution date. TIFDs received after 4 p.m. will be accepted on 'Best Effort' basis and ICICI Bank does not undertake any liability for its non-execution. They may also attract a late charge (Please refer the rate card). In case of market trades, also ensure that the execution date is specified such that securities are transferred to the pool account before the exchange pay-in deadline.

Strike out the portion relating to Off - Market Trades.

You may issue the instruction well in advance of the date on which you want the securities to be debited from your account. By giving a future dated instruction you cover the risk against non-execution of instruction due to lack of time or last minute rush.

TIFDs received after 4 p.m. will be accepted on 'Best Effort' basis and ICICI Bank does not undertake any liability for its non-execution.

In case of market trades, also ensure that the execution date is specified such that securities are transferred to the pool account before the exchange pay-in deadline.

3. Submitting the form

You can submit the TIFD at any ICICI Bank branch. Take the acknowledgement copy after stamping by the ICICI Bank official.

You may issue the instruction well in advance of the date on which you want the securities to be debited from your account. By giving a future dated instruction, you cover the risk against non-execution of instruction due to lack of time or last-minute rush. You should submit the slip latest by 4 p.m. of the business day before the execution date (i.e. there should be one clear working day gap between the date of submission of the TIFD and the execution date).

Transfer instructions should not be submitted for execution day as holiday. If there is a holiday in between, instruction should be submitted one day in advance.

4. Debit in the Demat Account

There will be a debit in your account on the execution date specified in the instruction. You can check the same in your transaction statement. You can also check the same on www.icicibank.com or through IVR or visit the nearest Branch. You will also receive an alert for the success/failure of the transfer on SMS registration form for "Mobile Alerts" on www.icicibank.com

5. Failure to execute Instructions

An instruction can fail either at the Central Processing Office of ICICI Bank or at NSDL/CDSL.

A failure can happen at the Central Processing Office on account of signature mismatch or if the TIFD slip is incomplete or not properly filled up. Please take due care while filling up the TIFD. There can be a failure at NSDL/CDSL if your account does not have the required number of specified shares or problem with the target a/c.

You will be intimated about the failure through a letter. On receipt of such intimation, the customer should do the needful in terms of submitting a correctly filled TIFD taking into account the reasons for rejection as intimated to you.
