Need of Change the name on Physical Share Certificates:

There are multiple reasons why people change their name. Major Examples are Due to Marriage, Astrological Believes, Due to Divorce etc. For the reason whatsoever, people change their name, it is recommended to update the new name on all the important documents such as PAN, Aadhar, Voter id, Passport, Shares and Securities, Insurance etc. Today we are writing about, “How to Change the name on Physical Share Certificates.

Recently SEBI Simplified the process to notify the name change on Securities held in Physical Form. According to SEBI, the move would help in simplifying the “procedure of change of name in individual Beneficial Owner’s (BO) account”. The depository participants (DPs) shall collect the self-attested copies of above documents and maintain the same in their records after verifying with the original document, the SEBI circular said.

The depositories are directed to implement the above provisions in three months. Further, depositories should have the system to keep the audit trail of the name change in the BO account similar to that of the address change or any other change of coordinates.

SEBI has also asked depositories to make amendments to the relevant “Bye-Laws, Business Rules and DP Operating instructions for the implementation of the above decision, as may be applicable or necessary”.

According to the regulator, the circular is being issued in the interests of investors in securities and to promote the development of securities market.

  5. Nagireddy NCH says:

    In all of my physial share certificates alloted/bought in nineties my name was enterd with initials. My name on the share certificates was N CH NAGI REDDY or NAGI REDDY N CH, which was in vogue / practice at that time. Due to advent of PAN and AADHAAR the name is written in full as NANDYALA CHINNA NAGIREDYor CHINNA NAGI REDDY NANDYALA ( ie., N and CH/Ch for Nandyala and Chinna respectively. Now the RTAs asking for notorized Affidavits for change of names as per kyc and after submitting of ISR1,ISR2, ISR 4 as dematerialisation is not possible since the names are different. They are not willing to change the names , in spite of the circular by SEBI not to insist on Affidavits for small changes with abbreviation.
    Could you suggest me a draft froforma for such Affidavit to submit to RTAs.please.
    Nagi Reddy.

      Not possible to delete any name in share certificate unless it is transmission .

  14. Parin Shah says:

    There is mismatch in Fathers Name on share certificate. I went to Gazette office for name change but rejected on the ground that Son cannot apply for Gazette for name change of his father and father needs to apply it for his name change. Now, father is already passed away and cannot apply to it. So, son is also unable to apply and hence, Gazette is not getting done. Now, company asks for court order and do not accept affidavit and surety. Please guide what to do. Thanks

  21. rikhab daga says:

    For change of name from maiden name to married name in case of woman holding share, if Bank account is in new name, or Pan is in new name ,adhar is also in new name, why there is insistence on marriage certificate or gazette notification. Sebi should look into.
