You can avail the following additional services for your Demat Account:
- Pledging shares in your account to avail an overdraft.
- Freezing the account/any specific security/specific quantity of a security.
- Nomination facility.
In case of:
- Dividend - for shares held in the Demat Account, the amount will be credited to your linked Bank Account.
- Bonus - the bonus shares will automatically be credited to your Demat Account.
- Rights - the allotted shares will be credited to your Demat Account or sent to you as physical certificates depending on the instructions you mention in the Rights application form.
Dematerialisation is the process by which your holding of physical share certificates is converted into an electronic record. The shares then reflect as a credit balance in your Demat Account. Dematerialised shares do not have any folio number, certificate number or distinctive numbers i.e., they are fungible.
To Dematerialise your shares, you need to submit the physical share certificates along with a Dematerialisation Form (DRF) to your Depository Participant. They will send the share certificates to the R & T Agent of your company, who will check and confirm if everything is in order. On confirmation, the shares will be credited to your Demat Account.
The electronic form is more popularly called the 'Dematerialised' form. The foremost and most important reason to convert it is because it is now mandatory to deliver the shares (for most script's as specified by SEBI) in Dematerialised form only, if you are selling the shares. Thus, if you hold physical shares, you may not be able to sell them. Additionally, there are several advantages of holding shares in the Dematerialised form:
- Elimination of risks associated with physical certificates e.g. theft, loss in transit, mutilation, fire, etc.
- Reduction in handling huge volumes of paper.
- Elimination of problems related to change of address, transmission, etc.
- Faster settlement cycle. You therefore get your money/shares much faster.
- Periodic statements and hence ease of portfolio monitoring.
- Lower costs due to lower brokerage rates charged by brokers and no stamp duty.
- There is no minimum lot in case of Dematerialised shares. You can therefore buy/sell even 1 share.
- There is greater transparency in the whole process.
You can:
- Continue holding them as free shares in your Demat Account.
- Transfer the shares to any other person who has a Demat Account.
- Sell these shares.
- Pledge them to avail a loan/overdraft.
Yes, you will need the services of a broker who will help you execute your buy/sell transaction on the exchange.
You need to inform him that you want the shares credited to your Demat Account. You will need to provide him with your Demat Account details.
It is very simple. All you need to do is fill and sign the transfer instructions (Annexure L), which is akin to a Bank Account cheque book - and hand it over to your Depository Participant. Your broker should be able to help you with the type of instruction ('On-market' or 'Off-market' instruction) and the relevant details required for such an instruction. In all probability, you will need to do an 'On-market Transfer' to your broker by entering the following details:
- CM BP ID - Clearing Member Business Partner ID of your broker.
- Settlement Number - the settlement number in which your shares were sold on the exchange.
- Market Type - the market type in which your shares were sold on the exchange.
All these details will be provided to you by your broker.
Please remember there are strict deadlines within which the shares must be transferred.
In India, we currently follow the T+2 rolling settlement cycle. Simply stated, the broker through whom you have sold your shares needs to deliver the same to the exchange on the 2nd business day after the day of trade. Hence, you need to deliver the shares to your broker latest by day T+1 i.e., the next business day.
E.g. if you have sold your shares on Monday (Day T), you need to transfer the shares to your broker latest by Tuesday (Day T+1) to enable the broker to deliver the shares to the exchange on Wednesday (Day T+2). (Please also see the time limits for instructions on Citibank Online).
Please note that the Bank branches will remain closed on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month, and depository services will not be available on these days.
Annexure L is a transfer instruction form, which needs to be signed by all the joint holders of the Demat Account, and submitted to the Citibank branch. The Annexure L is akin to the cheque book for your Bank Account.
A personalized Annexure L booklet is sent to you along with your welcome kit at the time of account opening. For additional booklets, you need to send a request signed by all the holders of the account.
