Pledge
Securities held in demat form can be pledged/hypothecated by the client to avail of loan/credit facility. Pledge of securities in NSDL depository requires that both the borrower (pledgor) and the lender (pledgee) should have a demat account with any of the DPs with NSDL and Pledge of securities in CDSL depository requires that both the borrower (pledgor) and the lender (pledgee) should have a demat account with any of the DPs with CDSL. The facility for Inter Depository pledge (where pledgor and pledgee has a demat account with different depositories) is not available.

Please note that financial transactions are handled outside the depository system. However, even after the securities are pledged, the pledgor continues to remain the beneficiary holder of those securities and will receive benefits of a corporate action, if any.

Following are the steps involved in Pledge/Hypothecation

• Creation of Pledge: The pledgor submits duly filled in Pledge Request Form to his DP for Creation of Pledge. On execution of the instruction by the DP a pledge order no. is generated for each ISIN.
• Confirmation of Pledge Instruction: The pledgee submits duly filled in Pledge Request Form quoting the Pledge Order No. (given by the pledgor) to his DP. On execution of the instruction the shares are marked as pledged in the pledgor's account. Pledge balances cannot be transferred.
• Closure of Pledge Instruction:The pledgor submits duly filled in Pledge Request Form to the DP for release of pledge. The pledgor does this after he has repaid the loan received from the pledgee.
• Closure Confirmation of Pledge Instruction: The pledgee submits duly filled in Pledge Request Form for confirmation of release of pledge to his DP. The pledgee would do this after ensuring that the pledgor has repaid the loan/credit facility extended to him. On execution of instruction the shares move from pledge balance to free balance in the Pledgor's account.
• Invocation of Pledge Instruction: The Pledgee submits duly filled in Pledge Request Form quoting the pledge order no. to his DP. On execution of instruction the shares move from the pledged balance of the Pledgor's account to free balance in the Pledgee's account. The pledgee does this when the pledgor has failed to repay the loan as per his obligations.
• Confirmation of Invocation of Hypothecation Instruction: The difference between a pledge and a hypothecation request is that whereas invocation of pledge can be done unilaterally by the pledgee, a confirmation of the pledgor is required in the case of invocation of hypothecation. For this pledgor submits duly filled in Pledge/ Hypothecation Request Form to the DP.

1. Form

There is a common form for all pledge requests given above. Typically, you would need to use it at the time of creation and at the time of closure of a pledge. Forms are available at any of the ICICI Bank branches.

2. Filling up the form

There is a common pledge/hypothecation form for all types of instruction. You must tick the appropriate box to indicate the instruction type.

You should enter the DPID and Account number correctly on the space provided on the left-hand side of the form. You should enter the counter-party details correctly on the space provided on right hand side of the form.

You must fill up the Closure date as provided by the pledgee. This is referred in the pledge agreement signed between the pledgor and the pledgee.

You must fill up the ISIN & security name of the security to be pledged.

If the shares are under lock-in then you should fill up the lock-in reason and lock-in release date in the space provided.

The no. of securities should be filled up correctly in the space provided. In case of pledge creation, you must have free balance in the ISIN mentioned.

3. Submitting the form

• TIFD / IDT issued in such a manner are valid only for immediate use

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.

• CM-BP-ID: This is the Clearing Member Business Partner ID of the Broker to whom the securities are to be transferred.

Any incorrect entry can result in transfers to the wrong account.
• CM Name: This is the name of the Broker to whom the securities are to be transferred. This is the market type on which the trade has been done by your broker.

In case the execution date mentioned by you is a NSDL/CDSL business holiday, the next working day is taken to be the execution day. 

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.

Example for applicability of Best Effort Stamp & Late Charges:

*Late charge is Rs.10/- per ISIN

• Signature: The slip must be signed by all the account holder's as per the specimen registered with ICICI Bank. In case of personalised booklets, the names of all holders are preprinted. Mismatch in signature of even one of the joint holder's results in the rejection of the TIFD. For help on filling up, refer to the sample filled-in TIFD provided in Annexure 2.

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.
