Frequently Asked Questions
What is dematerialization of physical shares?
Dematerialization is the process of converting physical share certificates into electronic holdings in a Demat account, making them easier to hold, transfer and manage.
Why can't physical share certificates be sold directly anymore?
For listed securities, transfers are generally required to be carried out in dematerialised form, subject to applicable regulations. Physical certificates may therefore need to be converted to Demat before transfer or sale.
How can I check whether my old share certificates still hold value?
You can verify the company's current status, corporate actions, shareholding details and applicable successor entity or RTA using the certificate and shareholder information.
What should I do if the shareholder named on the certificate has passed away?
The shares can generally be transmitted to the legal heir or nominee after completing the required legal, KYC and transmission documentation.
What should I do if my share certificate is lost, damaged or torn?
You should contact the company or its Registrar & Transfer Agent (RTA) and follow the prescribed process for obtaining a duplicate certificate or completing dematerialization.
What should I do if the name on the share certificate differs from my PAN or Demat account?
The name mismatch generally needs to be resolved through the company or RTA using the appropriate name-correction, KYC or supporting legal documents before the shares can be processed.
Can shares of a company that has merged, changed its name or been acquired still be claimed?
Yes, potentially. The entitlement may continue under the successor or resulting company, depending on the merger, acquisition or corporate action. The original certificate and shareholder records are important for verification.
What happens if I cannot locate the company or its registrar (RTA)?
The company's current status and its successor entity or RTA can be traced through regulatory records and corporate databases to determine the appropriate claim process.
What are the most common reasons physical share claims get delayed or rejected?
Common issues include name mismatches, incomplete documents, outdated KYC, missing certificates, unclear ownership, transmission issues and discrepancies in company records.
How long does the recovery and dematerialization process usually take?
The timeline varies depending on the condition of the records, documentation, RTA/company processing and whether additional verification is required. Complex cases can take longer.
What happens after physical shares are converted into Demat form?
Once successfully dematerialized, the shares are credited to your Demat account and can generally be held, transferred or sold, subject to applicable rules and restrictions.
