Dematerialisation

Dematerialisation is the process by which physical certificates of an investor are converted to an equivalent number of securities in electronic form and credited into the BO's account with his DP.

How can one convert physical holding into electronic holding i.e. how can one dematerialise securities?

To dematerialise physical securities one has to fill in a DRF (Demat Request Form) and submit the same along with physical certificates that are to be dematerialised. Separate DRF has to be filled for each ISIN. The complete process of dematerialisation is outlined below:

· Surrender certificates for dematerialisation to your DP.

· DP intimates to the Depository regarding the request through the system.

· DP submits the certificates to the registrar of the Issuer Company.

· Registrar confirms the dematerialisation request from depository.

· After dematerialising the certificates, Registrar updates accounts and informs depository regarding completion of dematerialisation.

· Depository updates its accounts and informs the DP.

· DP updates the demat account of the investor.
