Demat of Shares
Dematerialise your shares - now mandatory for most companies.
Private companies (other than small companies) and all unlisted public companies must now dematerialise their securities. It means obtaining an ISIN, appointing an RTA and depository, and filing PAS-6 half-yearly. We set up the demat infrastructure end to end.

What it is
Demat, explained in plain English.
Dematerialisation converts physical share certificates into electronic form held in a depository. Following amendments to the Companies (Prospectus and Allotment of Securities) Rules, unlisted public companies and, more recently, private companies other than small companies, must facilitate dematerialisation of their securities. The company appoints a Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA), enters into agreements with a depository (NSDL or CDSL), obtains an International Securities Identification Number (ISIN), and gets existing holders to open demat accounts. The company must then file Form PAS-6, a half-yearly reconciliation of share capital audit, with the ROC.
TL;DR
Appoint an RTA, sign up with a depository, obtain an ISIN, get holders to dematerialise, and file PAS-6 every half-year with the ROC.
