Overview of Physical to Demat

Holding shares in physical form is no longer permitted for transfer under SEBI rules — shares must be dematerialised to be sold or transferred. Dematerialisation converts physical certificates into electronic securities held in a demat account, eliminating risks of loss, theft and forgery.

We help you open a demat account if needed, submit the Dematerialisation Request Form (DRF) through your depository participant, and coordinate with the RTA until the shares are credited.

Key Benefits of Physical to Demat

• Enable transfer: Mandatory to sell or transfer shares
• Safe holding: No risk of loss, theft or damage
• Easy management: All holdings in one demat account
• Faster corporate actions: Dividends and bonuses credited directly
• Full support: Demat account, DRF and RTA follow-up handled

Documents Required

• Original physical share certificates
• Demat account details (or assistance to open one)
• PAN and KYC documents
• Dematerialisation Request Form (DRF)
• Updated KYC with the RTA (PAN, bank, signature)

How It Works — Our Process

1. Ensure KYC is updated and open a demat account if needed
2. Submit the physical certificates with the DRF to the DP
3. DP forwards the request to the company / RTA
4. RTA verifies and approves the dematerialisation
5. Shares credited to your demat account
