FAQ

I. Transfer of Shares

Q.1 Can I transfer the shares I hold in physical form? / How do I transfer shares? / What is the procedure for transfer of shares?

You will not be able to transfer shares of the Company held in physical form. As per SEBI mandate, with effect from April 1, 2019, transfer of shares can be carried out only in dematerialised form. Please refer to the ‘Dematerialisation of shares’ Tab to know more about the process for demat of shares.

Q.2 Is there any restriction on holding HUL shares in physical form? / Can shares be held in physical form? / Can I continue to hold shares in physical form?

You can continue to hold your shares in physical form. However, you cannot do any transactions on shares held in physical form. Given this and considering the risks of loss/damage associated with holding shares in paper form, it is advised to get your holding dematerialised.

Q.3 I have purchased HUL shares long back but forgot to get them transferred in my favour. What is the procedure that I should follow now? / What is the validity of a Share Transfer Deed? / Can shares be lodged for transfer even after April 1, 2019?

A transfer deed is valid for a period of one year only from the presentation date indicated on the stamp affixed by the Registrar of Companies on the upper portion of the deed or the closure date of Register of Members immediately after the presentation date, whichever is later.

However, effective April 1, 2019, the transfer of shares (held in physical form) can be effected only after the shares are dematerialised. Only those transfer deeds that were lodged prior to the said date but returned due to deficiency in the document may be re-lodged for transfer.

Further, SEBI had fixed March 31, 2021 as the cut-off date for re-lodgment of transfer requests. As such, from April 1, 2021, a person cannot lodge request for transfer of shares in physical form. The said restriction does not apply to transmission or transposition of securities.

II. Dematerialisation of shares

Q.1 What is Dematerialisation? / What is Demat?

Dematerialisation (or Demat) signifies the conversion of a share certificate from its physical form to electronic form for the same number of holding by way of credit in a demat account held with a Depository Participant (DP). Demat, however, does not result into a change of ownership.

Any transfer of shares can be carried out only when the shares are held in dematerialised form.

Further, SEBI has made it mandatory for listed companies to issue shares only in dematerialised form while processing any investor service request such as issuance of duplicate certificates, transmission, transposition, exchange/subdivision/consolidation of share certificates, etc.

Two Depositories are currently in operation - National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) and Central Depository Services Limited (CDSL).

Q.2 Who is a Depository Participant (DP)?

A Depository Participant (DP) is the agent of the Depository, viz. NSDL and CDSL, and is the medium through which shares are held in the electronic form. They are also the representatives of the Investor, providing the link between the Investor and the Company/ Registrar through the Depository.

Q.3 How do I demat my shares? / How to demat shares?

Following is the procedure for dematerializing the shares:

  • Open a demat account with a Depository Participant (DP) and obtain a unique Client ID number.
  • Obtain a Dematerialisation Request Form (DRF) from the DP and submit the same in triplicate along with the original share certificates intended to be dematerialised, to the DP.
  • Upon receipt of the share certificates and the DRF, the DP will send electronic request through the Depository viz. NSDL or CDSL, to the Company/Registrar for confirmation of demat.
  • Each request will bear a unique Dematerialisation Request Number (DRN).
  • Simultaneously, the DP will surrender the DRF and the share certificates to the Company requesting the Company/Registrar to confirm the demat.
  • After verifying the documents received from the DP, the Company/Registrar will confirm the demat to the Depository.
  • This confirmation will be passed on from the Depository to the DP, which holds your demat account.
  • After receiving this confirmation from the Depository, the DP will credit the account with the dematerialised shares.
  • The DP will then hold the shares in the dematerialised form on your behalf and you become the beneficial owner of these dematerialised shares.

Q.4 What are the charges to be paid to demat one's physical shares? Will it be paid by the Company or do I have to pay for it? / What is the cost of dematerialising the shares and who will bear it?

The charges for demat have to be borne by the shareholder. The charges differ from DP to DP and therefore you will have to contact your DP for details regarding the same.

Q.5 I have purchased some shares in paper form. Can I directly give the share certificates to my Depository Participant for dematerialising them in my favour?

Shares should be registered in your favour before they can be dematerialised. Please ensure that the shares are registered in your name, before sending the same for dematerialisation.

Q.6 How do I get my dividends on dematerialised shares? / Will I get dividends on shares held in Demat Form? Will I get the Annual Report after I demat my shares? Will I be able to attend the AGM after I demat my shares?

On the Record date, the DPs will provide a list of demat account holders indicating the number of shares held in electronic form (known as Benpos – Beneficiary Position). On the basis of Benpos, the Company will make dividend payments in favour of the demat account holders in the bank account linked with the demat account.

The rights of the shareholders holding shares in demat form are at par with holders of shares in physical form. Hence, you will be eligible to receive the Annual Report and can rightfully attend the AGM as a shareholder.

It is mandatory for you to register your National Electronic Clearing System (NECS) mandate with your DP which enables the Company to credit the dividends electronically.

Q.7 What are the chances of any fraud/disputes in using a demat account? Whom should I approach in such cases?

Common risk factors applicable to trading in physical shares like mismatch in signatures, loss in postal transit, etc., are absent since dematerialised shares are traded scrip-less.

However, in the unlikely event of any dispute, you have to approach your DP for resolution of the same.

Q.8 Can I pledge my shares in demat form to avail any funding/loan arrangement with my bankers?

Yes.

Q.9 Who do I approach for change of details in my demat account? / Why can't the Company take request for change of details recorded in the demat account?

The Depositories, viz. NSDL and CDSL, are the custodians of the shares held in demat form and hence, the Company cannot make any change in such records received from the Depository.

III. Nomination in respect of shareholding

Q.1 How do I make a nomination with regard to my shareholding? / Is nomination mandatory? / Can we have nominee for shares held in physical form?

SEBI has mandated that either Form SH-13 (Nomination Form) or Form ISR-3 (Nomination Opt-out Form), duly complete in all respects, has to be submitted.

To make a nomination, you need to:

A. For shares held in physical form:

  • Submit a duly filled in and signed Form SH-13 (Nomination Form), duly complete in all respects, which is available on the website for download, to the Company/ Registrar.
  • For shares held jointly, all holders are required to sign the said Nomination Form.
  • Once the form is received and is found to be in order, a registration number will be allotted to the nomination. An acknowledgement of updation of nomination in the folio will be sent to you.

B. For shares held in Dematerialised Form:

  • The nomination request has to be submitted to your DP. Option for multiple nominations for each folio is also available.

Q.2 Do I have to send my share certificates along with the nomination form?

It is not necessary to send your share certificate at the time of registration of nomination.

Q.3 My shares are held in joint names. Are the joint holders nominees to the shares?

Joint holders are not nominees. They are joint holders of the relevant shares. In the event of death of any one of the joint holders, the surviving joint holder/s of the shares is/are the only person/persons recognized by the Company as the holders of the shares.

Q.4 Can a nomination once made be changed?

A nomination once made can be cancelled or changed by submitting a Form SH-14 (Form for Cancellation or Variation of Nomination), duly complete in all respects.

Q.5 What is the legal position of the nominee in case of death of the shareholders?

In case of shares held by sole holder, upon the death of the shareholder, the nominee, to the exclusion of any other legal heir/beneficiary, is the only person in whom the shares vest. In other words, in case of a valid nomination, the Company will not entertain any claim from legal heirs or beneficiaries and the shares will be transmitted only in favour of the Nominee.

In case the nomination is made by joint-holders, it will come into play only upon the death of all the joint holders. Therefore, if one of the joint shareholders dies, the shares will devolve on the surviving shareholders to the exclusion of the nominee. In this case, the surviving shareholders may make a fresh nomination if they so desire.

Q.6 What is the procedure for the nominee to get the shares in his/her name for shares held in physical form?

Upon the death of a shareholder, the nominee is entitled to have the shares transmitted in his/her favour. He/she is required to submit:

  • a notarized copy of the death certificate of the deceased shareholder;
  • a request in Form ISR-5 (Request for Transmission of Securities by Nominee(s) or Legal heir(s)), duly complete in all respects;
  • the original share certificate; and
  • a self-attested copy of the PAN card of the nominee.

Upon scrutiny of the documents submitted by the nominee, a Letter of Confirmation (LOC) will be issued by the Registrar. Within 120 days of issuance of the LOC, the nominee shall get the shares dematted by submitting the Demat Request Form (DRF) along with the LOC to the DP.

Q.7 I have shares in demat form. Can I send the nomination form to the Company / Registrar for making a nomination with respect to my shareholding?

For making a nomination with respect to dematerialised shares, you will have to approach your DP.

Q.8 Can a Minor be appointed as a Nominee?

Yes, a minor can be appointed as a Nominee. In such case, a guardian needs to be appointed, who will hold the shares on behalf of the nominee during the minority period, while the beneficial interest will lie with the Minor Nominee. While submitting the Nomination Form, duly complete in all respects, along with the name and photograph of the Nominee, the details such as name, address and the photograph of the Guardian shall be submitted.

Q.9 What happens when a shareholder dies leaving a Minor Nominee?

In case the Nominee is a Minor, a Guardian is appointed to whom the shares shall vest in the event of death of the Shareholder during minority of Nominee. On attaining majority, the Nominee is required to send a proof of attaining majority along with all the KYC documents and Nomination/Opt-Out of Nomination Form, duly complete in all respects, to get the shares transmitted in his / her name.

IV. Transmission of shares

A. For shares held jointly:

Q.1 In case of joint holdings, in the event of death of one shareholder, how do the surviving shareholders get the shares in their names? / How do I get the shares transmitted in case of joint holding? / What is the process for transmission of shares for shares held jointly?

The surviving shareholders are required to submit the following to get the shares transmitted:

  • a request letter in Form ISR-4 (Form for Investor Service Request)
  • a self-attested copy of PAN card of all surviving holders
  • a notarised copy of the Death Certificate of the deceased shareholder
  • original share certificates.

The Company, on receipt of the said documents, will delete the name of deceased shareholder from its Register of Members and issue a Letter of Confirmation (LOC) in favour of the surviving registered holder(s).

Within 120 days of issuance of the LOC, the surviving holder(s) are required to submit the demat request form (DRF) along with the LOC to the Depository Participant (DP) for getting the shares dematerialised.

Please note that as per SEBI mandate, if the shares are not dematerialised within the said 120 days of issuance of LOC, the shares will be liable for transfer to Suspense Escrow Demat Account of the Company.

B. For shares held singly:

Q.2 In case of shares held in sole name and in the event of death of the shareholder, how do the nominee or legal heir(s) get the shares in their names? / How do I get the shares transmitted in case of shares held singly? / What is the process for transmission of shares for shares held singly?

You need to send a request letter in Form ISR-1 (Form for registering PAN/KYC details or changes/ updation thereof), duly complete in all respects. The request letter should be accompanied by a copy of PAN Card of all the holders and a valid proof of address.

B. For shares are dematerialised mode:

For shares held in demat mode, your Depository Participant (DP) maintains the records of your shares and hence you have to approach your DP to effect any change in the address in your demat account.

Q.2 Can there be multiple addresses for a single folio?

No. There can be only one registered address for one folio.

VI. Dividend

Q.1 I have not received my dividend. What action do I take?

This can happen only in cases where either the complete bank mandate is not updated or where incorrect / incomplete / no address is available in the folio / demat account. In such cases, you may write to the Investor Service Department of the Company / Registrar - KFin Technologies Limited, by way of a duly signed request letter or from the registered email ID, furnishing particulars of the dividend not received quoting your folio number/client ID DP ID details. We will check our records and in case the dividend remains unpaid, the bank mandate along with other KYC details need to be updated in the folio/demat account, post which, we shall arrange to credit of dividend amount in your bank account.

Q.2 In case of loss of dividend warrant, what is the procedure for obtaining a duplicate dividend warrant?

No duplicate can be issued during the validity of the original warrant. Hence, if the validity period of the lost dividend warrant has not yet expired, you will have to wait till the expiry date. However, once the validity period has expired, if the dividend warrant is still shown as unpaid in our Bank Statement, we shall issue a duplicate warrant expeditiously.

Q.3 Why do shareholders have to wait till the expiry of the validity period of the original warrant? Is it possible for you to issue stop payment instructions to the bank for the original warrant and issue a duplicate immediately?

Since the dividend warrants are payable at par at all branches of the dividend banker across the country, it is not practically possible for banks to issue stop payment instructions. Hence, it becomes necessary for us to wait till the expiry of the validity of original warrant.

Q.4 How do I claim old dividends relating to past years that I have not received?

As per the Companies Act, 2013, the Companies are required to transfer dividends that remain unpaid/unclaimed for a period of seven years to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) administered by the Central Government and thereafter have to be claimed by Shareholders/Claimants from the IEPF Authority. To ensure maximum disbursement of unclaimed dividend, the Company sends reminders to the concerned Shareholders, before transfer of dividend to IEPF.

For detailed procedures with regard to claiming the dividends/shares already transferred to IEPF, please refer the procedure laid down at https://www.iepf.gov.in/IEPF/refund.html. Please refer to the ‘Investor Education and Protection Fund’ Tab to know more on this subject.

Q.5 In order to protect against fraudulent encashment, I want to incorporate the details of my bank account in my dividend warrant. What is the procedure that I should follow?

If you hold shares in physical form, please submit the request in Form ISR-1 (Form for registering PAN/KYC details or changes/ updation thereof), duly complete in all respects, along with a copy of cancelled cheque or copy of bank statement to our Registrar - KFin Technologies Limited which will be incorporated in your folio and all your future dividends shall get directly credited to your Bank Account.

Q.6 What is National Electronic Clearing Service (NECS)?

Under this system, you can receive your dividend electronically by way of direct credit to your bank account. This avoids a lot of hassles like loss, postal delay, fraudulent interception of dividend warrants during postal transit. This also expedites payment through credit to your account compared to dividend warrants in the physical form. We would strongly recommend that you opt for NECS, if you have not done so already.

Q.7 How can I avail of the National Electronic Clearing Service facility?

If you are holding shares in physical form, you are required to submit the bank details in Form ISR-1 (Form for registering PAN/KYC details or changes/ updation thereof), duly complete in all respects, along with a copy of cancelled cheque or copy of bank statement to our Registrar - KFin Technologies Limited, which will be incorporated in your folio and all your future dividends shall get directly credited to your Bank Account.

A transfer deed is valid for a period of one year only from the presentation date indicated on the stamp affixed by the Registrar of Companies on the upper portion of the deed or the closure date of Register of Members immediately after the presentation date, whichever is later.
