PAN and signature verification govern securities transfers, with documentary safeguards for identity mismatches and suspected fraud or forgery.

Registration of securities transfers requires PAN copies from transferors and transferees, with identity proof permitted for residents of Sikkim without PAN cards. PAN mismatches and differences between maiden and current names may be accepted subject to documentary identity verification. Minor signature differences require notice to the first transferor and a fifteen-day objection period; absent a supported objection, transfer may proceed unless fraud or forgery is suspected. Major or unavailable signatures require an Objection Memo, an affidavit, a cancelled cheque with banker's attestation, and contact details, followed by verification of delivery, documents, and address.
