Frequently Asked Questions
What are unlisted shares?
Unlisted shares are equity shares of companies that are not traded on recognised stock exchanges such as NSE or BSE. They may include shares of private companies and public companies that have not yet listed.
Are unlisted shares legal in India?
Yes. Buying and selling unlisted shares is legal in India, subject to applicable company law, securities regulations and tax rules.
How are unlisted shares different from listed shares?
Listed shares trade on stock exchanges with greater liquidity and transparent market pricing. Unlisted shares are generally traded privately or through specialised intermediaries and may have lower liquidity and less transparent pricing.
What should investors consider before investing in unlisted shares?
Investors should evaluate the company's financials, valuation, growth prospects, promoter quality, liquidity and potential exit opportunities before investing.
How long does it take for unlisted shares to be credited to my Demat account?
The timeline depends on the company, registrar and transaction process. Shares are generally credited after the required documentation, payment and transfer formalities are completed.
How is the price of an unlisted share determined?
Unlike listed shares, there is no live exchange price. Pricing is generally influenced by company valuation, financial performance, demand and supply, recent transactions and expected future growth.
Can unlisted shares be sold? If yes, where?
Yes. Unlisted shares can generally be sold through private transactions, authorised intermediaries or specialised platforms, subject to applicable transfer restrictions and regulations. Liquidity may be lower than for listed shares.
What happens to my unlisted shares when the company gets listed through an IPO?
Your shares generally continue to remain yours. Once the company's shares are listed, they may become tradeable on the stock exchange, subject to applicable rules, lock-ins and other restrictions.
How are unlisted shares taxed in India?
Profits from selling unlisted shares are generally taxed as capital gains. The applicable holding period and tax treatment depend on the nature of the transaction and prevailing tax rules.
What are the risks of investing in unlisted shares?
Key risks include limited liquidity, valuation uncertainty, limited price transparency, business risk and difficulty finding buyers. Investors may also have to wait longer for an exit.
Why do unlisted shares trade at different prices across platforms?
Unlisted shares do not have a single exchange-determined market price. Differences in demand, supply, transaction size, liquidity, seller expectations and platform pricing can therefore result in different quoted prices.
How can AssetVeda help me invest in unlisted shares?
AssetVeda can help investors identify available unlisted opportunities, understand company fundamentals and valuation, facilitate the transaction process and assist with the required documentation and Demat transfer, subject to the applicable requirements.
