Demat of Shares · ISIN · Depository Compliance

Dematerialisation of Shares physical to digital, fully compliant.

End-to-end dematerialisation of shares services in Mumbai and across India — ISIN creation, depository and RTA coordination, conversion of physical share certificates to electronic form, and ongoing demat compliance for private limited companies.

Dematerialisation is the process of converting physical share certificates into electronic form held in a demat account with a depository. What was once optional has become a compliance requirement — the Ministry of Corporate Affairs has progressively mandated that private limited companies, other than small companies, dematerialise their securities and ensure that all new issues and transfers happen only in demat form.

Dematerialisation involves appointing a Registrar and Transfer Agent, obtaining an International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) for the company's shares from a depository such as NSDL or CDSL, entering into the required tripartite agreements, and then converting the existing physical certificates of shareholders into electronic holdings. Once demat is in place, the company must also file periodic reconciliation reports.

Our dematerialisation practice manages the full setup — RTA appointment, depository connectivity with NSDL or CDSL, ISIN generation, corporate action and tripartite documentation, conversion of physical certificates held by shareholders, and the half-yearly reconciliation of share capital audit. We ensure the company meets the MCA's demat mandate cleanly and stays compliant thereafter.
