Dematerialisation & Rematerialisation
Physical-to-demat conversion and demat-to-physical remat — shareholder confirmation, depository coordination, and register update handled with no outstanding requests left unresolved.
Dematerialisation & Rematerialisation
Dematerialisation is the conversion of physical share certificates into demat form — a process that requires the RTA to confirm the validity of the shares, coordinate the cancellation of physical certificates, and instruct the depository to credit the shareholder's demat account. Every step has a defined timeline and a verification requirement that must be met accurately.
Rematerialisation — the reverse process — is less common but equally precise. When a shareholder requests a physical certificate from their demat holding, the RTA must coordinate the demat debit, produce a physical certificate, and deliver it within the required timeframe.
Backlogs of outstanding demat requests are a common problem when RTAs are slow to process. RCMC resolves this. Our commitment is that there are no outstanding demat or remat requests left unresolved under our management — and that new requests are processed within the regulatory timelines without exception.
