FAQ :

The SEBI circular provides operational guidelines for the transfer and dematerialisation of re-lodged physical shares.

The cut-off date for re-lodging transfer requests is March 31, 2021.

All transferred shares re-lodged after the cut-off date will be issued only in demat mode.

After a transfer request is processed, the RTA will retain physical shares and issue a Letter of Confirmation to the investor. The investor must then submit a demat request to their Depository Participant (DP) within 90 days of receiving this letter.

If a demat request is not received within 90 days of the Letter of Confirmation, the shares will be credited to the Suspense Escrow Demat Account of the Company.

For shares requiring a lock-in, the RTA will inform the Depository about the lock-in period when approving the demat request. These shares will remain in lock-in demat mode for 6 months from the date of transfer registration.
