Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

A demat pledge is a legal mechanism that allows you to create a charge on securities held in your demat account so that they serve as collateral for a loan or margin obligation, without actually selling or transferring them. In a demat pledge, you remain the beneficial owner of the securities and continue to receive dividends and other corporate action benefits, but the pledgee (the lender or broker) has the right to invoke the pledge and sell the securities if you default on your obligation. The demat pledge process is administered by CDSL or NSDL through an electronic instruction system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
