Dematerialisation of Shares & Securities

Dematerialisation enables eligible shares and securities to be held in electronic form rather than through physical certificates. For companies and stakeholders, the process can involve corporate compliance, documentation, securities records, corporate actions and coordination with relevant intermediaries.

LegaFin assists eligible companies and stakeholders with the dematerialisation of shares and securities in India, helping them understand applicable requirements and coordinate the professional, corporate and documentation aspects of the process.

Dematerialisation Advisory

We help eligible companies and stakeholders understand the corporate and documentation requirements associated with moving shares or securities from physical form to a digital holding structure. The support is aligned with the circumstances and records of the relevant company or stakeholder.

Corporate Dematerialisation Compliance

Dematerialisation can involve company-level compliance and supporting corporate records. LegaFin assists with relevant corporate compliance requirements and coordinates related secretarial matters through its Corporate Secretarial & Governance Advisory practice.

Coordination With Relevant Intermediaries

The dematerialisation process may require interaction with relevant intermediaries and professionals. Our role includes helping businesses coordinate the professional and documentation aspects of the process within the scope of the applicable requirement.

Documentation & Corporate Actions

Corporate actions connected with securities may require resolutions, approvals and supporting records. LegaFin provides documentation support and can coordinate related requirements through Corporate Documentation & Approvals.

Shareholding & Securities Records

Accurate shareholding and securities records are important when securities are being moved into electronic form. We support review and organisation of relevant records, with wider capital and securities requirements supported through Share Capital & Securities Advisory.

Compliance Support Relating to Demat Requirements

LegaFin supports eligible businesses in understanding and coordinating compliance requirements relating to dematerialisation. Where associated corporate filings are required, support can be integrated with ROC & MCA Compliance.

Dematerialisation During Corporate Transactions & Restructuring

Securities records and dematerialisation requirements may become relevant during ownership changes, restructuring or other corporate actions. Depending on the requirement, support can be coordinated with Corporate Restructuring and Corporate Due Diligence.

Integrated Corporate & Securities Support

Our role is to help businesses understand the applicable requirements and coordinate the professional and documentation aspects of the dematerialisation process. LegaFin's corporate and secretarial advisory framework allows related governance, records, approvals, securities and compliance requirements to be considered together where relevant.

Dematerialisation and securities-related activities may involve depositories, depository participants, registrars, transfer agents or other regulated intermediaries. LegaFin provides advisory, documentation and coordination support and does not represent itself as a depository or regulated securities intermediary.
