To transmit shares of a deceased person in physical form to the administrator's demat account, you'll need to follow these steps:
Transmission Procedure 1. *Obtain necessary documents*: Gather the physical share certificates, transmission-cum-dematerialisation form, notarized copy of the death certificate, and a copy of the Certificate of Administration obtained from the Bombay High Court.¹
2. *Update the company records*: Contact the Registrar and Transfer Agency (RTA) to update the name in the company records to reflect the administrator's demat account.²
3. *Dematerialize the physical shares*: Submit the required documents to the RTA or the demat account provider to dematerialize the physical shares.
4. *Credit the shares to the administrator's demat account*: Once the shares are dematerialized, they will be credited to the administrator's demat account.
Opening a Demat Account in the Name of the Deceased Person It is not recommended to open a demat account in the name of the deceased person.
Instead, you should open a demat account in the name of the administrator or the legal heir, and then transmit the shares to this account.
Additional Requirements - Ensure that the administrator or legal heir has a PAN card, as it is required for opening a demat account. -
The administrator or legal heir may need to provide additional documentation, such as proof of address and identity, to open a demat account. -
