Why now
Why convert your certificates now
Physical shares cannot be sold on the stock exchange. Paper certificates can be lost, damaged or stolen, and companies can hold back dividends until your records are up to date.
Your family also inherits far more easily from a demat account than from a folder of old certificates.
Certificates lost or damaged? See lost share certificates.
Common problems we fix
- Name on the certificate doesn't match your PAN
- Your signature has changed over the years
- Your address has changed
- Joint holders, one of whom has passed away
- The company has merged or changed its name

Before you demat
Fix the Mismatches First
Demat requests on old certificates are usually rejected for four reasons: a name that differs from the demat account, an old signature, different addresses at the bank, the depository and the company, or a face value that changed after a share split.
Update KYC with Form ISR-1 and ISR-2, and exchange pre-split certificates using Form ISR-4, before sending the demat request.
FAQ
Common Questions About Dematerialisation
Is it safe to send original certificates?
Only when needed, by insured courier. We send you a signed receipt listing every certificate number, and keep copies of everything.
What if the company no longer exists?
Most have merged into other companies. We trace where your shares went.
Can I sell right after conversion?
Yes. Once they're in your demat account, you can hold or sell.
I live abroad. Can you still help?
Yes. We handle the claim in India and guide you on getting documents signed, notarised and apostilled where you live. You don't need to travel.
How much does it cost?
Every case is different. After the free check, we send a written quote based on your documents and the work involved. You decide whether to go ahead. See how our fees work.
