How do I claim old physical shares?
Found Old Share Certificates?
Turn Them Into Cash or Transfers
Physical share certificates are no longer valid for direct trade. They must be dematerialised first. Start by checking the registered holder name—then follow simple steps.
1
Check Name on Certificate
Confirm whether it’s in your name, parent’s, or a company. For deceased holders, legal heir documents may be needed.
2
Verify with Registrar
Ensure the shares are valid and check for any bonus/splits with the Registrar & Transfer Agent (RTA).
3
Dematerialise
Open/use a Demat account, submit DRF + certificates, and get shares credited digitally.
4
Sell or Transfer
Sell via stock exchanges through your broker or transfer to a family member’s Demat account.
