Mr. Sandeep Rao lost his Delivery Instruction Slip (DIS) booklet. What is the most appropriate step he should take with his DP?

He should promptly inform the DP in writing about the lost DIS so the missing instruction slips can be stopped and a new booklet issued. Delay risks unauthorised transfers. Closing the account or having securities deleted is neither required nor permitted as a remedy.

Explanation

A lost DIS can be misused for unauthorised transfers, so the BO should immediately notify the DP in writing, who will block the lost slips and issue fresh ones. Waiting increases risk, and closing the account or deleting securities is unnecessary.
