What is Sellable Quantity?

Sellable quantity refers to the number of shares you can actually sell. This might differ from the total number of shares in your holdings due to various factors, such as:

• Trading in T2T Stocks: Shares in trade-to-trade segment have restrictions.
• Pledged Shares: Externally pledged shares used as collateral for loans.
• Unlisted Shares: These will appear in your portfolio but sellable quantity will show as zero.
• Corporate Actions: Adjustments from stock splits, dividends, or bonus issues.
• Lock-in Periods: Restrictions on selling shares after IPOs or specific events.
• Stock Lending and Borrowing Market (SLBM) Participation: Shares lent out through the Stock Lending and Borrowing Market.
• Demat Account Status: Inactive or dormant accounts will show sellable shares as zero.
• Pre-IPO Allotment: Shares allocated in the pre-IPO session may affect sellable quantity.

Understanding these factors will help you manage your shares more effectively and ensure you're aware of what you can sell at any given time.
