 Q. How do I open an account with a Depository and will I be periodically informed about the movement in my electronic account?  

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

 

Q. How do I convert my paper/physical certificates into an electronic holding? [Dematerialisation] 

A. To dematerialize your holding, you should first have an account with a DP of your choice. You may then hand over to your DP, the certificates along with the 'Dematerialisation Request Form' (DRF). Only the securities registered in your name can be submitted for dematerialization. Your DP will then send the DRF and the certificates to the Registrar and Share Transfer Agents of the Company, TSR Darashaw Limited (‘TSRDL’) and an electronic request will also be sent through the NSDL/CDSL network reconfirming the same. TSRDL will verify the documents and if found in order, the dematerialization request will be confirmed to NSDL/CDSL who will in turn inform your DP. In the books of the Company, your folio with TSRDL will be debited and the account of NSDL/CDSL will be credited in respect of such dematerialized securities. NSDL/CDSL in their electronic records will credit the account of your DP who will then credit your account with the number of securities that have been dematerialized and the securities will thereafter be held in electronic form. This process would take approximately 15-20 days.  

Q. Will I continue to receive corporate benefits?  

A.  All the corporate benefits such as dividend, interest, bonus shares, rights shares will be issued by TSRDL to the beneficial owners i.e. the accountholders who hold the securities in electronic form.

Q. How do I trade (buy/sell) in electronic form?  

A. You may buy and sell securities in electronic form through the depository by co-ordinating 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 the very next day of payout with no formalities of filling transfer deeds or applying to the Company for registration. 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. 

 

 Q. What if I continue to hold shares in physical form after December 5, 2018?  

A. You may please note that you can hold shares in physical form even after December 5, 2018. However, the shares will first need to be dematerialised in case you wish to transfer the same after such date. 

 

Q. How can I reconvert my electronic holding into paper form?
