Dematerialization
All Shares today have to be in electronic form, i.e. dematerialize. The government of India does not allow paper certificates to be held in a Demat account. It is estimated that a little over 2 % shares are still held in paper format. If you still have a physical share certificate its time to convert them into an electronic form. Why, you may ask? In a bid to bring in more transparency in shareholding of companies and to prevent frauds, Sebi has made it mandatory to transfer shares only in demat form However, this does not mean that you cannot hold shares in the physical form, but you cannot transfer them or sell them in time of need, which can affect their value and delay the process of encashment of your assets.

Dematerialization of physical shares has been an issue for both regulators and investors since the 1990s. There was a sudden rush in the inquiries from our investors and clients about Physical to Demat Conversion when RTA suggested freezing physical shares.

Demat Account simplifies your investment documentation. It requires efforts to maintain the paperwork and investment records. Also, electronic shares save 0.5% of stamp duty.

Duplicate Share Certificate
A share certificate is a document that indicates the ownership of company shares by its shareholder. It acts as prima facie evidence of the title of the individual holding the shares. When the shareholder of the share certificate loses or misplaces the original document, the company will issue a duplicate share certificate.

When a person loses his/her share certificate, it can lead to a substantial financial loss to the shareholder and the company in which he/she held shares. Thus, to avoid any unnecessary loss to the company and its shareholders, the Companies Act, 2013, provides for the issue of duplicate share certificates under Section 46 and Rule 6(2)(a) to (c) of the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014.
