Pledge invocation happens when the borrower defaults on repayment or margin obligations. The lender (bank/broker) invokes the pledge, gaining rights over the pledged securities. The pledged shares are then transferred to the lender’s account, who may sell them to recover dues. Depositories levy a fee for invocation, charged to the investor or broker depending on agreement.
