In recent years, the financial landscape has shifted towards digital holdings.

Shareholders must be aware of this mistake to avoid it during share dematerialisation. They should double-check all forms before going ahead with submission. Make sure that your KYC details, including Aadhar, PAN, and address, are updated with the depository participants.
Signatures on the Dematerialisation request form (DRF) must match the records with the Company and Depository Participant (DP). Variations in name spellings or KYC documents and share certificates can cause rejections. It’s essential to get the discrepancies corrected beforehand.
Damaged, unreadable, or Torn share certificates may require re-issuance before they can be dematerialised. Legal heirs must complete transmission formalities before dematerialisation takes place to reduce the chances of rejection. A linked bank account ensures seamless dividend credits after dematerialisation.
Each security has a unique ISIN (International Securities Identification Number). It ensures that the correct ISIN is mentioned on the Dematerialisation Request Form. Choosing a non-compliant or unreliable depository participant can lead to future complications in shareholding management.
Shareholders often make the mistake of not keeping copies of forms and receipts. It’s essential for them to keep copies of submitted forms and receipts as proof of transaction. Most of the shareholders find dematerialisation of shares a troublesome and stressful task.
