What is TPIN? How do I find my TPIN?

TPIN (Transaction Personal Identification Number) is a unique six-digit code provided by Central Depository Services Limited (CDSL) to authorise the sale of stocks from a demat account.  

It replaces the traditional Power of Attorney (PoA), ensuring greater security and control. Investors must enter their TPIN while selling shares. It acts as a second-layer authentication, preventing unauthorized debits and enhancing transparency in stock transactions. TPIN improves security and simplifies online trading.
