A pledgor has defaulted on a loan. The pledgee wants to realise the security. Which action does the pledgee initiate through its DP?

The pledgee initiates a pledge invocation through its DP. Invocation moves the pledged securities from the pledgor's account to the pledgee's account so the lender can recover dues. Pledge closure is used instead when the loan is repaid and the securities are released back.
