- Secure an International Security Identification Number (ISIN) for each type of security.
- Ensure all shares are converted within the legal timelines.
- Open a demat account with an authorized depository within the legal timelines.
- Convert existing securities into dematerialized form within the legal timelines.
-
The mandate for dematerializing securities and shares in India involves multiple parties and costs, including setup fees, RTAs & Depositories charges, and transaction fees.
- Initial setup fee: There is a charge for the initial setup or activation, which can vary depending on the service provider. LEI Register charges INR 4990
- RTAs & Depositories fees: Additional charges by Registrars and Transfer Agents (RTAs) and Depositories for processing and maintaining the dematerialized securities. These fees are not included in the initial setup fee and are charged separately.
- Annual maintenance charges: Annual fees charged by depository participants for maintaining the demat account. These fees can vary based on the depository participant and the volume of holdings.
- Transaction fees: Fees for each transaction carried out in the demat account, such as transfers of shares or other securities.
- Dematerialization request charges: Fees for processing the request to convert physical securities into electronic form.

If the company or security holders do not comply with the requirement to dematerialize their securities by 30 June 2025, the following consequences will apply:
- The company will not be able to issue or allot any type of securities.
- The security holder will not be able to transfer or subscribe to any type of security.
- Monetary penalties:
- On the company: INR 10,000 plus INR 1,000 for each day the violation continues, up to a maximum of INR 200,000.
- On every officer in default: INR 10,000 plus INR 1,000 for each day the violation continues, up to a maximum of INR 50,000.
-
The Registrar of Companies (ROC) can easily monitor electronic data, making non-compliances quickly detectable and sanctionable. Sanctions consume effort and management time beyond the penalties.
Setting up a demat account takes time and depends on depository cooperation. Issuing or transferring shares might become necessary unexpectedly. It´s advisable to establish the structure now to avoid delays when urgent action is required.
