Frequently Asked Questions

If you have a trading account with HDFC securities, you can register online for investing in StockSIP. Once you log in to your Trading Account, you can click on StockSIP Tab and create a new SIP Basket.

StockSIP Bucket is a collection of one or more scrips, which have a common trigger date and frequency. You can add up to 50 scrips/ETFs in a single bucket. 

You can have different amount/quantity for different StockSIPs under one basket. However, you cannot have different trigger dates or frequency under one basket. If you want to choose another trigger date/frequency for another StockSIP, you can create a new basket.

You can buy stocks on a daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis. You can pre-fix the frequency while registering for the StockSIP

You can choose any date as per your convenience as the trigger date for your StockSIP.

SIP created for a particular date (say 15th of any month) will get triggered on the 15th of every subsequent month (or next trading day in case 15th of that month is a trading holiday)

Exception

When the 1st StockSIP instruction is triggered on the last calendar day of the month, then all subsequent StockSIP instructions will also get triggered on the last calendar day of the month (or the next working day if the last calendar day of that month is a trading holiday) of subsequent months.

For example. 1st StockSIP trigger date is 31st March
Then 2nd StockSIP trigger date will be 30th April (or the next trading day if 30th April is a trading holiday)
The 3rd StockSIP trigger date will be 31st May, which is the last day of the month (or next trading day if 31st May is a trading holiday)

Your StockSIP will get triggered on the next business day

StockSIP gets triggered subject to availability of necessary funds. The required amount is calculated on the basis of previous business day closing price of the scrip plus 5% buffer. There will not be any partial execution of SIP in case there is a shortfall in the amount.

For each scrip selected by the client in each bucket a separate order will get generated to be sent to the Exchange. The orders will then execute as per the order matching system of the Exchange. However, before the orders are sent to the Exchange various checks with respect to funds, limits etc would be done.
