How to study for NISM Depository Operations
Treat every item as an investor account or securities movement file: identify the holder, document, instruction, ISIN, balance, lock, lien, corporate action, control, and grievance path.
Core concepts
Concept 1
Account Modification, Freeze and Closure questions reward reading the official India source, role boundary, and stated facts together.
Exam cue: Identify the regulator, role, resident or client fact, document, and timing cue.
Concept 2
The strongest answer identifies the rule, resident or client risk, disclosure, calculation, document, or workflow step before acting.
Exam cue: Check whether the question asks about the certification exam, renewal/CPE, field workflow, or compliance decision.
Concept 3
Eliminate answers that skip India-specific requirements or put convenience above compliance.
Exam cue: Choose the official-process answer before the familiar shortcut.

Unfreeze requires authorized instruction and removal of the freeze reason or condition.
