Why is Early pay-in of securities done?

When a client sells securities held in their demat account, the securities are blocked in favour of the Clearing Corporation. If the pay-in of securities is done before the settlement date, it is termed as Early Pay-in (EPI).

When an early pay-in request is accepted by the depositories, the broker is allowed to pass on the benefit (limit) to the client against the cash sell transaction value.
