What are Delivery Shares?
Delivery shares are the shares that you purchase for the long term, rather than selling them on the same day. It is the opposite of intraday trading, where shares are bought and sold within the same day. Delivery share orders are also called CNC (Cash and Carry Orders).
Delivery trades are settled on T+2 days. It means that the shares are credited to your demat account and the payment is debited from your trading account two days after the trade execution. And, you need to pay the full cost of the shares for the delivery trades.
