Pursuant to the amendment in the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) (Listing Obligation and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 and subsequent notification(s) issued by SEBI, except in case of transmission or transposition of securities, requests for effecting transfer of securities shall not be processed unless the securities are held in the dematerialized form with a depository. In this regard, SEBI had issued a Press Release clarifying that the said amendment does not prohibit an investor from holding shares in physical form and can hold shares in physical form even after 1st April, 2019. However, any investor who is desirous of transferring shares (which are held in physical form) after 1st April, 2019 can do so only after the shares are dematerialized.

Dematerialisation is the process by which physical certificates of an investor are converted to an equivalent number of securities in electronic form and credited in the investor’s account with his/her Depository Participant (DP). An investor will have to first open an account with a DP and then request for the dematerialisation of certificates by filling up a Dematerialisation Request Form (DRF), which is available with the DP and submitting the same along with the physical certificates. The investor has to ensure that before the certificates are handed over to the DP for demat, they are defaced by marking “Surrendered for Dematerialisation” on the face of the certificates. Shares are dematerialised by the Company within 21 days of the receipt of the DRN and the physical shares from the DP, if the same are found in order.
