To prevent the misuse of securities in the Demat account, what precautions one must take?

1. Keep the DIS book safe. Make sure to leave out any spaces when you write instructions on the DI slip.
3. If you use the internet to access your Demat account, make sure to change your password often.
4. Understand the implications and contents of Power of Attorney (POA), before you give power of attorney to anyone for your Demat account.
