Why has the fund balance increased but shares are missing from holdings?

Why Aren’t My CubePlus Holdings Showing All the Shares?

There are various reasons why you might not see all your shares in CubePlus, even when your fund balance indicates an increase. Let’s explore some common scenarios:

Short Delivery:

One of the main reasons for missing shares is a short delivery. This occurs when the seller fails to deliver during settlement. This situation often arises when short positions in intraday trading cannot be closed due to factors like illiquidity or stocks hitting an upper circuit.

After selling shares, the investor is expected to deliver them by the settlement date. If this doesn’t happen within the predetermined time, it’s termed a short delivery. Typically, in such cases, the shares are credited to your Demat account after T+2 days, following the exchange’s auction of shares. In the event of exchange failling to get the shares in the auction market it will credit amount to the buyers account. 

Consolidation of Shares:

If a company consolidates its shares, combining them to form a smaller number, you may observe a reduction in the quantity of units you hold. However, the overall value of your portfolio remains unchanged.
