SEBI circular eliminates the requirement of issuing a Letter of Confirmation and mandates direct credit of securities into investors' demat accounts after due diligence by RTAs/issuer companies. RTAs/issuers must obtain a Client Master List (not older than two months) attested by the Depository Participant and initiate a demat conversion request; depositories/RTAs/listed companies must notify investors on successful dematerialisation.
