Yes, you can. Provided the amount is found to be outstanding and not transferred to the General Revenue Account of the Central Government or the Investor Education and Protection Fund (Refer XII for details)and the account is KYC compliant.
In case your account is KYC compliant, you may send the outdated instrument to us, to facilitate remittance of the payment.
You may open an account with a depository participant (DP) of your choice. As an investor you will interact with National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) or Central Depository Services Limited. (CDSL) through your Depository Participant.
Your DP will update your account after each transaction and would periodically furnish you with a statement of holding. You may verify this with them at the time of opening your electronic account.
To dematerialize your holding, you should first have an account with a DP of your choice. You may then hand over to your DP, the certificates along with the 'Dematerialization Request Form' (DRF). Only the securities registered in your name can be submitted for dematerialization. Your DP will then send the DRF and the certificates to us and an electronic request will also be sent through the NSDL/CDSL network reconfirming the same. We will verify the documents and if found in order, the dematerialization request will be confirmed to NSDL/CDSL who will in turn inform your DP. This process would take approximately 15-20 days.
All the corporate benefits such as dividend, interest, bonus shares, rights shares will be issued by the Company to the beneficial owners i.e. the accountholders who hold the securities in electronic form. The dividend/interest amounts as and when declared / issued will be sent to you / your bankers directly. The entitlement of rights and bonus shares / debentures wherever applicable, will be credited to the beneficiaries’ accounts as per the investors' option and the terms of the issue.
You may buy and sell securities in electronic form through the depository by coordinating with your broker and your DP. Such transactions would be simpler and faster. Payments for such transactions would be made in the same way as is done for physical certificates. Securities purchased in electronic form are credited to your account with no formalities of filling transfer forms or applying to the Company for registration. All such transactions are exempt from stamp duty and accordingly no share transfer stamps are required to be affixed.
Such transactions are not routed through the Company and the debit/credit takes place directly in the Depository System. However, corporate benefits would be paid by the Company to the person holding such securities on the Record date/Book closure date, as applicable.
