It is advisable to purchase or sell securities only through authorized stockbrokers duly registered with Stock Exchanges. Ensure that you receive a Contract Note for all transactions. The broker’s stamp with the SEBI registration/Code number should be affixed on the reverse of the transfer deed(s). For securities held in electronic form, please contact your depository participant.
Important points to note:-
Always include your complete address along with pin code while filling in the transfer deed / opening an account with a depository participant.
Keep photocopies of certificates, transfer deeds and other documents, In case of a loss in transit, they come handy.
A transfer deed for shares is valid for only one year from the date of presentation or the last book closure of the company, whichever is later. For debentures the transfer deed is valid for an indefinite period.

It is advisable to register securities in joint names in order to facilitate Succession.

Yes. For securities held in physical form, you may nominate a person by completing Form SH-13 and sending it to Registrar and Transfer Agents of the Company. For securities held in electronic form, please contact your depository participant.

You may open a demat account with a Depository Participant (DP) of your choice. As an investor you will interact with National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) or Central Depository Services Ltd. (CDSL) through your Depository Participant. Your DP will allot you an account number which will serve as a reference for all your future dealings with them. It may be advisable to be aware of the rates that will be charged to you by your DP for various activities.

Your DP will update your account after each transaction, and would periodically furnish you with a statement of holding. You may verify this with your DP at the time of opening your electronic account.

First you have to open a demat account with a Depository Participant (DP) and obtain a Client ID number. Thereafter you have to fill up a Demat Request Form (DRF) provided by the DP and surrender it along with physical share certificates intended to be converted to electronic form to the DP.

Upon receipt of the share certificates and the DRF, the DP will send an electronic request through the Depository to the R & T Agent of the Company for confirmation of demat. Each request will bear a unique transaction number.

Simultaneously, the DP will surrender the DRF and the share certificates to the R & T Agent of the Company with a covering letter requesting the R & T Agent of the Company to confirm the demat. After verifying the documents received from the DP, the R & T Agent of the Company will confirm the demat to the Depository. This confirmation will pass on from Depository to the DP which holds your account. Then the DP credits the account with the dematerialised shares. The DP will then hold the shares in demat form on your behalf and you become the beneficial owner of these Shares.

You may buy and sell securities in electronic form through the depository by coordinating with your broker and your DP. Such transactions would be simpler and faster. Payments for such transactions would be made in the same way as is done for physical certificates. Securities purchased in electronic form are credited to your account on 2 days next to the day of payout with no formalities of filling transfer deeds or applying to the Company for registration. All such transactions are exempt from stamp duty and accordingly no share transfer stamps are required to be affixed.

Such transactions are not routed through the Company and the debit/credit takes place directly in the Depository System. However, corporate benefits would be paid to the person holding such securities on the Record date/ Book closure date as applicable.

As per the existing guidelines, an investor can choose to reconvert his electronic holding into physical form at any time through his DP. On receipt of the rematerialisation request along with the ‘Remat Request Form’ (RRF) the Company/ R & T Agents of the Company will issue fresh certificates.

For physical holdings, please send a letter, duly signed by the first holder, stating the new address and folio numbers of the shares you own to our Share Registrar, M/S Karvy Computershare Pvt.ltd (mailing address given in the Investor Contact section). A computerized acknowledgement will be sent to your new address confirming the updation of the change in our records.

In the case of dematerialized holdings, please write to your Depository Participant (DP) intimating them of the change and ask for a confirmation that their records reflect the new address.

To receive dividend from the Company, you must be shareholder of the Company as on record date/book closure date declared for the purpose of dividend payment. Further your Bank mandate must be updated in the records of the Company whether you hold shares in physical form or otherwise (in case of demat holding) with your DP. It is always preferable that you provide an ECS (Electronic Clearing Service) mandate to your bankers so that all your dividends are received electronically in your bank account directly. It reduces the hassles of late receipt of dividend warrants, loss of warrants in transit/ bad delivery and presenting the warrant in bank. For ECS mandate please contact your DP.
