How to respond to a Zerodha email asking you to authorise your holdings

A Zerodha email asking you to authorise your holdings means you sold securities from your demat account without a standing DDPI or POA, so the sale needs your explicit CDSL authorisation before it can settle; you complete it with your CDSL TPIN through the link in the email, before 7:00 PM the same day. This is not a security alert or a problem with your account. It is the depository asking you to approve a specific debit of your own shares, which is required precisely because you have not given the broker a standing instruction to do it for you.

If you hold neither a power of attorney mandate nor a DDPI on your Zerodha account, you can still sell your holdings; you authorise each demat debit yourself through CDSL eDIS, the electronic delivery instruction route. You place the sell order, a CDSL authorisation window opens, you enter your 6-digit CDSL TPIN and a one-time password, and the debit is approved for that trading day. This is the default route for every account opened online that has not signed a DDPI.
