NSDL and CDSL are the two Depositories operating in the country which enable the investor to hold securities in electronic form, through Depository participants.

Depository Participant is the agent of the Depository and is the medium through which shares are held in electronic form. They are also the representatives of the investor, providing the link between the investor and the company through the Depository.

First, you will have to open an account with a Depository Participant (DP) and get a Client ID number. Thereafter, you will have to fill up a Dematerialisation Request Form (DRF) provided by the DP and surrender physical shares intended to be dematted to the DP.

The DP upon receipt of the shares and the DRF, will send an electronic request to the company through the Depository for confirmation of the demat request. Each request will bear a unique transaction number. The DP will simultaneously surrender the DRF and the shares to the company with a covering letter requesting the company to confirm the demat request. The company after necessary verification of the documents received from the DP will confirm the demat request to the Depository. This confirmation will be passed on from the Depository to the DP, which holds your account. After receiving this confirmation from the Depository, the DP will credit the account with the shares so dematerialised. The DP will hold the shares in the dematerialised form thereafter on your behalf, and you will become the beneficial owner of these dematerialised shares.
