Ms. Iyer has lost her Delivery Instruction Slip (DIS) booklet. What should she do to protect her demat account?

She should immediately inform her DP in writing about the lost DIS booklet. The DP then blocks those slip numbers and issues a new booklet, preventing misuse of the slips to transfer securities out of her demat account.

  1. ADo nothing since DIS cannot be misused without the PIN
  2. BInform the DP in writing immediately so the lost slips can be blocked and a new booklet issuedCorrect
  3. CClose the bank account linked to the demat
  4. DInform only the issuer company

Explanation

A lost DIS could be used to transfer securities, so the BO must promptly notify the DP in writing. The DP then freezes the lost slip numbers and issues fresh slips. Waiting or informing an unrelated party leaves the account exposed.
