Physical Shares to Demat

Why Convert Physical Shares to Demat?

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has made it mandatory to convert all physical share certificates into dematerialised (demat) format. From [latest SEBI deadline], shareholders cannot sell, transfer, or trade physical shares unless they are in demat form.

Converting physical shares to demat ensures:

✔ Compliance with SEBI & RTA Regulations

If you still hold physical share certificates, it is urgent to convert them to demat form before the SEBI deadline to avoid legal complications.
