Dematerialisation of Shares
Dematerialisation of Shares
Most companies are now required to issue and hold shares only in demat form. Even for private companies, dematerialising share certificates is becoming essential for compliance, fundraising, director KYC, and smooth share transfers. Physical certificates slow everything down and often create disputes. Demat brings transparency and eliminates paperwork.
