Two employees (non relative)holding shares in a listed company since last 25 years in physical form recently dematerialised the shares. Now they want to transfer these shares in equal proportion to their respective individual Demat accounts.

What precautions to be taken and what reason is to be mentioned for transfer in dematerialisation instructions slip?
Please guide.

• Joint → individual demat transfer = NOT taxable
• It is not a gift, just restructuring
• Use off-market transfer (DIS) with proper reason
• Future sale only taxable (LTCG)
• Maintain clear documentation to avoid scrutiny
