Ease of Doing Investment - Special Window for Re-lodgement of Transfer Requests of Physical Shares

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has established a special six-month window from July 7, 2025, to January 6, 2026, allowing investors to re-lodge physical share transfer requests previously rejected or pending before the April 1, 2019 deadline. This measure addresses missed opportunities for investors who failed to meet the earlier March 31, 2021, re-lodgement cut-off date, thereby facilitating the regularization of their holdings. Listed companies, Registrars and Transfer Agents (RTAs), and stock exchanges are mandated to publicize this window and process these requests exclusively in demat mode while submitting monthly compliance reports to SEBI.
