The transfer of securities held in physical form is not permitted from April 1, 2019.
Sebi has asked all listed companies or their RTAs to provide details of their shareholders holding shares in physical mode to the depositories by December 31, 2019.
The depositories, in turn, will capture the relevant details and put in place systems to validate any dematerialization request received after December 31.
