3.Fill the DRF

• Enter the ISIN, company name, and quantity of shares.
• Ensure the details exactly match the name printed on the physical share certificates.
• Sign the form as per your demat account records.

4.Submit Documents to Samco

Submit the following documents to Samco’s registered address:

• Duly filled and signed DRF
• Original physical share certificates

5. Verification & Processing

• Samco will verify the documents and forward them to the Registrar & Transfer Agent (RTA) of the respective company.
• The RTA will verify the certificates and approve the dematerialisation request.

Processing Timeline:

The dematerialisation process generally takes 15–30 days, depending on the company and RTA verification timelines.

Important Points:

• The name on the share certificate must match your demat account name.
• If there is a name mismatch, additional documentation may be required.
• Physical shares can no longer be sold in certificate form, they must be converted into demat before trading.
