  1. If the client fulfills his/her funds obligation within five trading days after the pay-out, TM/CM can release the pledge within five trading days after the pay-out so that the securities are available to the client as free balance.
  2. If the client does not fulfill its funds obligation, TM / CM shall dispose off such unpaid securities in the market within five trading days after the pay-out and can invoke the pledge within five trading days after the pay-out.
  3. In case, such pledge is neither invoked nor released, the pledge on securities shall be auto released at EOD of seventh trading day after the pay-out and the securities shall be available to the client as free balance without encumbrance.
