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. Processing timelines for service requests are 30 days; physical certificates must be retained and defaced or retained per procedure, and lock-in periods must be communicated on credit. Changes take effect April 2, 2026; prior LOCs remain usable within 120 days.
