A depository can be compared to a bank. A depository holds securities (like shares, debentures, bonds, Government Securities, units etc.) of investors in electronic form, through the medium of a Depository Participant. Besides holding securities, a depository also provides services related to transactions in securities. A depository is an organization where the securities of an investor are held in electronic form, at the request of the investor through the medium of a Depository Participant.

There are two depositories in India: Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL) and National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL)

A Depository Participant (DP) is an agent of the depository and is authorized to offer depository services to investors., List of DPs is available on websites of both NSDL (https://nsdl.co.in/related/deprt.php) and CDSL (https://www.cdslindia.com/dp/dplist.aspx).

Dematerialisation is the process by which physical certificates of an investor are converted to an equivalent number of securities in electronic form and credited in the investor’s account with its DP. In order to dematerialise certificates; an investor will have to first open an account with a DP and then request for the dematerialisation of certificates by filling up a dematerialisation request form [DRF], which is available with the DP and submitting the same along with the physical certificates. The investor has to ensure that before the certificates are handed over to the DP for demat, they are defaced by marking “Surrendered for Dematerialisation” on the face of the certificates.

Before defacing the share certificate, you must ensure that it is available for dematerialisation. You must therefore check with your Depository Participant (DP) whether the ISIN (code number for the security in a depository system) has been activated and made available for dematerialisation by the depository. If yes, then you may deface the share certificate. The certificates are defaced by marking “Surrendered for Dematerialisation” on the face of the certificate.

A depository interfaces with the investors through Depository Participants (DPs). If an investor wants to avail the services offered by the depository, the investor has to open an account with a DP. This is similar to opening an account with any branch of a bank in order to utilise the bank’s services.

No. The depository has not prescribed any minimum balance. You can have zero balance in your account.

In order to dematerialise physical securities one has to fill in a DRF (Demat Request Form) which is available with the DP and submit the same along with physical certificates that are to be dematerialised to the DP.

No. The demat account must be opened in the same ownership pattern in which the securities are held in the physical form. e. g. if one share certificate is in your individual name and another certificate is jointly held in your and your wife’s name, two different accounts would have to be opened.

In this case you may open only one account with husband and wife as the account holders and lodge the security certificates with different order of names for dematerialisation in the same account. You will fill-up an additional form called “Transposition cum Demat” form. This would help you to effect change in the order of names as well as dematerialise the securities.

Dematerialisation will normally take about 30 days.

When securities of a company are held in physical form by an investor, his/ her name is recorded in the books of the company as a ‘Registered Owner’ of the securities. When physical shares are converted into electronic form, the depository becomes ‘Registered owner’ in the books of the company and investor’s name is removed from books of the company.

All the benefits of the dematerialized shares are given to the actual investors.

All the corporate benefits such as dividend, bonus shares, rights shares, etc. if and when decided to be offered by the Company will be issued to the actual investors who hold shares in electronic form, The dividend amount if and when declared by the Company will be sent to bankers of actual investors directly, The entitlements of rights and bonus shares, if and when decided to be issued by the Company, will be credited to the actual investors’ accounts as per Investors’ option and the terms of issue.
