Quick Summary
This discussion outlines the procedure for transmitting physical shares of a deceased individual into an administrator's demat account. Key steps include obtaining necessary documents like the death certificate and Certificate of Administration, updating company records via the Registrar and Transfer Agency, and dematerialising the physical shares. It's advised not to open a demat account in the deceased's name, but rather in the administrator's or legal heir's name, provided they have a PAN card and other required identification.

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. -
