SEBI has phased out physical share certificates - all trades must now be executed in electronic (demat) form.
Whether you purchased shares decades ago or inherited them recently, those paper certificates need to be converted to digital format before you can sell, transfer, or pledge them.
At Sapphire, we make this process seamless by guiding you through documentation, RTA verification, and the dematerialisation request - ensuring your investments are secure, accessible, and ready for the modern market.

Choose a Depository Participant (DP), submit KYC documents, and receive your demat account number after verification.
Fill out the Demat Request Form (DRF) and surrender your physical share certificates. Ensure the name on the certificates matches your demat account.
Your DP forwards the documents to the Registrar & Transfer Agent (RTA), where certificates are verified before approval for electronic conversion.
Once approved, NSDL or CDSL credit the dematerialised shares to your demat account - typically within 7–10 working days.
Dematerialisation eliminates the risks of losing physical certificates due to theft, misplacement, or damage. Your holdings are safely stored in electronic form under regulated depositories like NSDL or CDSL.
Digital shares allow you to buy, sell, and transfer securities instantly without delays or paperwork. Smooth, real-time settlement means better opportunities in fast-moving markets.
Holding shares in demat form reduces expenses like stamp duty, courier charges, and handling fees. It also minimises administrative burden and streamlines investment management.
SEBI regulations require listed securities to be held in demat form. It also makes it easier to monitor, update, and manage your portfolio anytime through your DP's digital platform.
With all your holdings in one demat account, you can track investments, dividends, and corporate actions through a single digital interface - no more hunting through filing cabinets.
Dematerialisation reduces paper usage and storage needs, making your investment process environmentally friendly and contributing to a cleaner financial ecosystem.
