What precautions do I need to observe with respect to Delivery Instruction Slips [DIS]?

Your DIS book is like your cheque book. The following precautions are to be taken: -

• Ensure that DIS book is issued to you; do not accept loose slips.
• Ensure that DIS numbers are pre-printed and give acknowledgment for the DIS booklet issued to you.
• Ensure that your account number [client id] is pre-stamped.
• If your account is a joint account, all the joint holders have to sign the instruction slips. Instruction cannot be executed if all joint holders have not signed.
• Avoid using loose slips.
• Do not leave signed blank DIS with anyone viz. broker/sub-broker.
• Keep the DIS book under lock and key when not in use.
• If only one entry is made in the DIS, strike out remaining space to prevent misuse by any one.
• Please fill in target account -Id and all details in the DIS, yourself.
