Are you holding on to old physical share certificates or dealing with inherited shares after the passing of a loved one? If so, you are not alone. Many Indian investors still have physical shares tucked away in lockers, unaware that these certificates could be losing value due to delays in dematerialization and legal transmission.
At Share Claimers, we specialize in helping investors and their families convert physical shares to demat, navigate the shares transmission procedure, and recover long-forgotten investments efficiently.
The Problem with Physical Share CertificatesPhysical share certificates are more than just paper—they’re legal proof of your investment. However, they come with a set of challenges:
Prone to damage, theft, or loss
Complex to sell or transfer
Not accepted for online trading
Require physical verification and documentation
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) now mandates that all share transfers take place in dematerialized (demat) form. That means if you’re still holding paper certificates, it’s time to demat your physical share certificates for easier management and higher liquidity.
How to Convert Physical Shares to DematThe process to convert physical shares to demat involves multiple steps and can seem overwhelming, especially for those not familiar with financial compliance procedures. That’s where Share Claimers offers expert support.
Here’s how we help:
Verification of Documents: We examine your share certificates and ensure all details are accurate.
Support with PAN & KYC: We help you meet Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements as per SEBI guidelines.
Filling Demat Request Form (DRF): We prepare and file the DRF with your chosen Depository Participant (DP).
Liaison with Registrars and DPs: We handle communication with companies and registrars for swift approval.
Final Conversion to Demat: Once approved, your shares are credited to your demat account.
Our goal is to simplify every step so that you don’t face rejections or unnecessary delays.
Understanding the Shares Transmission ProcedureIf you’re trying to reclaim shares held by a deceased family member, you need to understand the shares transmission procedure. Unlike a transfer (which involves a sale or exchange), transmission is the legal process of transferring shares to the legal heir or nominee.
Share Claimers helps you complete this process accurately and efficiently.
We support you with:
Obtaining a Succession Certificate / Legal Heir Certificate
Drafting of Affidavits and Indemnity Bonds
Verification and Correction of Documents
Name correction, signature mismatch resolution, and address updates
Liaison with company registrars and depository participants
Once the shares transmission procedure is complete, the inherited shares can be dematerialized and added to your demat account, enabling you to sell, hold, or claim dividends as needed.
