Urgent notice: Dematerialization deadline approaching

Indian companies are required to comply with the mandatory dematerialization of shares. The process can take several weeks, so acting promptly is important. LEI Register India, in partnership with NSDL, is here to assist you in meeting this essential requirement efficiently.

Why immediate action is essential

The dematerialization process takes time. From registering with NSDL to preparing documents and notifying shareholders, each step requires careful attention. Delaying action risks non-compliance, which can result in severe penalties, such as the loss of share ownership rights and the automatic transfer of shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). Act now to avoid these consequences.

Consequences of delaying

Missing the deadline for dematerialization is more than a compliance issue; it poses a serious risk to your business. Failure to dematerialize shares in time will result in the following consequences:

• Potential penalties: Non-compliance could lead to hefty fines and legal complications.
• Automatic conversion: Share warrants not surrendered will be converted automatically, and any unclaimed shares can be transferred to the IEPF.
• Loss of shareholder trust: Delays and mismanagement in this process can erode the trust and confidence of your shareholders.
