To start dealing in securities in electronic form, one needs to open a demat account
with a DP.
|
|
|
|
Dematerialisation is the process of converting physical shares
(share certificates) into an electronic form. Shares once converted into dematerialised
form are held in a Demat account.
Dematerialisation Process
An investor having securities in physical form must get them dematerialised, if
he intends to sell them. This requires the investor to fill a Demat Request Form
(DRF) which is available with every DP and submit the same along with the physical
certificates. Every security has an ISIN (International Securities Identification
Number). If there is more than one security than the equal number of DRFs has to
be filled in. The whole process goes on in the following manner.
THINGS INVESTORS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ACCOUNT OPENING AND DEMATERIALISATION
roviding the bank account details at the time of account openingP
- The interest and dividend warrants can't be en-cashed by any unauthorized person,
as the bank account number is mentioned on it.
- It is convenient and time saving, as dividends and interests given by the companies
can be directly credited to the investor's bank account (through ECS facility, wherever
available).
Change in bank account details
It is possible for an investor to make changes to the details of his bank account.
The investor must inform any change in his bank account details to his DP. This
enables him to receive the cash corporate benefits (such as dividends, interests)
directly into his account in time and discourages any unauthorized use by any second
party.
Change in the address of investor as provided to the DP
Any change in your address should be immediately informed to DP. This enables DP
to make necessary changes in the records and informing the concerned companies about
the same.
Opening multiple accounts
An investor is allowed to open more than one account with existing DP or with different
DPs.
Minimum balance of securities required in demat account
There is no stipulated minimum balance of securities to be kept in a demat account.
Account opening and ownership pattern of securities
One must make sure to open a demat account in the same ownership pattern in which
the physical securities are held. For example: If you have two share certificates,
one in your individual name (say 'X') and the other held jointly with some other
individual (say 'XY'), then in such a case you will have to open two different accounts
in respective ownership patterns (one in your name i.e. 'X' and the other account
in the name of 'XY').
Same combination of names on certificates but different sequence of names on the
certificates or demat account
In such cases, client has to fill up transposition form (attach scan copy) along
with DRF.
Holding a join account on "Either or Survivor" basis like a bank account
No investor can open a demat account on "E or S" basis like a bank account.
Allowing somebody else to operate your Demat account
It is possible for an account holder (Beneficiary Owner) to authorize some other
person to operate the demat account on his behalf by executing a power of attorney.
After submitting the power of attorney to the DP, that person can operate the account
on behalf of the beneficiary owner (BO).Addition/deletion of the names of the account
holders after opening the account It is not possible to make changes in the names
of the account holders of a BO account. A new account has to be opened in a desired
holding/ownership pattern.
Closing a demat account and transfer of securities to another account with same or
different DP
An investor, if he wants, can also close his demat account with one DP and transfer
all the securities to another account with existing or a different DP.
Freezing/Locking a demat account
The account holder can freeze his demat account for a desired time period. A frozen
account prevents securities to be transferred out of (Debit) and transferred into
(Credit) the account.

Dematerialised securities are fungible assets. Therefore they are interchangeable
and identical.

1 . Investor surrenders the physical certificates to the DP for dematerialisation
