A. Dematerialization is the process through which the shares are held and traded in electronic form instead of physical form thus eliminating many disadvantages of shares in physical form.

A. Approach a Depository Participant (DP) as per your choice and open a Demat account for which you will be allotted a Client ID. You should, then, surrender the share certificates to your DP by filling the Dematerialization Request Form (DRF) after which the DP generates a number known as Demat Request Number (DRN). Thereafter DP will send the certificate along with the DRF to the concerned Company/ its Registrar. The Company/Registrar after verification, confirms the DRN and upon confirmation, the number of securities dematerialized are credited in electronic form to your demat account.
