Dear All

If the company is a State or Central Government company in which Directors are nominee of Government i.e. they are either IAS, IPS, MP, MLA then do we also have to open the demat account of these persons.

Is there is any exemption provided to the Government Companies for DEmaterialisation of Shares.

Pleae take this matter as urgent

As of now no exemption is provided by MCA. However , companies which issues further shares and if shares needs to be transferred then alone Issue of Prospects Rules Mandates a company to issue or transfer shares in dematerialized form. As long as no such issues or transfer does not happen, shares can be continued to held in physical form.
