08 August 2009 Hi,

Find the desired information below:

Trading in the shares of the Company is compulsory in dematerialized form for all investors. The Company has, therefore, enlisted its shares with both the depositories, viz, NSDL and CDSL. This means that you have now have the option to hold and trade in the shares of the Company in electronic form.

While most of you may be familiar with how a Depository functions, given below is a brief outline, in question and answer format, which we hope will be useful to you.

What is Dematerialisation?

Dematerialisation (“Demat” in short form) signifies conversion of a share certificate from its physical form to electronic form for the same number of holding which is credited to your demat account which you open with a Depository Participant (DP).

Dematerialisation is a process by which the physical share certificates of an investor are taken back by the Company and an equivalent number of securities are credited in electronic form at the request of the investor. An investor will have to first open an account with a Depository Participant and then request for the dematerialisation of his share certificates through the Depository Participant so that the dematerialised holdings can be credited into that account. This is very similar to opening a Bank Account.

Dematerialisation of shares is optional and an investor can still hold shares in physical form. However, he / she has to demat the shares if he / she wishes to sell the same through the Stock Exchanges. Similarly, if an investor purchases shares, he / she will get delivery of the shares in demat form.
