Transmission of Shares / Deletion of Name

If the deceased shareholder who held shares in his/her own name (singly) had left a will, how do the legal heir(s) get the shares transmitted in their names?

As per Indian Succession Act, 1925, the legal heirs will have to get either the will probated (by the High Court/District Court of competent jurisdiction) or provide the will (where probate is not required) and accordingly send a copy of the aforesaid, along with the other documents required for Transmission of shares.

In case of joint holdings, in the event of death of one shareholder, how do the surviving shareholder(s) get the shares in his/their names?

i. The surviving shareholder(s) will have to submit a request letter supported by a notarized copy of the death certificate of the deceased shareholder along with the documents enclosed.

ii. On receipt of the said documents, Registrar & Share Transfer Agent will delete the name of deceased shareholder from its records and return the share certificates to the applicant /registered holder with necessary endorsement.

A and B held shares of Hero MotoCorp. Both of them died. How do I get the shares transmitted in my name?

You should obtain a Succession Certificate/Letter of Administration/ Court Decree of the last deceased joint holder in your favour, in case the value of shares is more than Rs. 2,00,000/- (Rupees Two Lakhs only).

However, for the value of shares upto Rs. 2,00,000/- (Rupees Two Lakhs only), NOC from all legal heirs, who do not object to such transmission or notarised copy of family settlement deed/ memorandum of family settlement would suffice.

The aforesaid documents should be accompanied with the other documents required for Transmission of shares.

If a shareholder who held shares in his sole name dies without leaving a will. How can his/ her legal heir(s) (either husband/wife/son/daughter, etc.) get the shares transmitted in their names?

The legal heir(s) shall submit the following documents:

For value upto Rs. 2 Lakhs:

Succession Certificate/ Letter of Administration/ Court decree in terms of Indian Succession Act, 1925 and an affidavit from such legal heir(s)/ claimant(s) alone would be sufficient.

No objection certificate from all legal heir(s) who do not object to such transmission or copy of family settlement deed duly notarized and executed by all the legal heirs of the deceased holder;
An indemnity bond made on appropriate non judicial stamp paper, indemnifying the Share Transfer Agent / listed entity

succession certificate OR
letter of administration OR
court decree

The aforesaid documents should be accompanied with the documents enclosed for - Transmission of shares. One may approach the Registrar & Share Transfer Agent, M/s. KFin Technologies Limited for any further assistance/ clarification.

I have already produced the attested/registered will. Since getting it probated would take a long time and money, can I avoid that procedure?

In order to ascertain that the will in question is the last will and testament made by the deceased, it is important that the same is authenticated/ probated by the High Court/District Court. This is to protect the interest of the investors at large and to obviate any future claims/disputes on the same.

The name of a joint holder was included only for convenience by the first holder. I am the only heir. Could you transfer the shares in my name as per the will/probate?

No. As per law, the joint holder is deemed to be having indivisible ownership of the joint property. As per the Articles of Association of the company, the surviving joint holders are the only persons recognized as having title to the shares.

Dematerialisation of Shares

What is Demat and what are its benefits?

Dematerialisation ('Demat' in short form) signifies conversion of a share certificate from its present physical form to electronic form for the same number of holding.

It offers scope for paperless trading through state-of-the-art technology, whereby share transactions and transfers are processed electronically without involving any share certificate or transfer deed after the share certificates have been converted from physical form to electronic form.

Demat attempts to avoid the time consuming and complex process of getting shares transferred in the name of buyers as well its inherent problems of bad deliveries, delay in processing/fraudulent interception in postal transit, etc.

Dematerialisation of shares is optional and an investor can still hold shares in physical form. However, as per SEBI (Listing Obligations & Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, with effect from 1st April 2019, the transfer, except transmission and transposition, of securities shall be carried out in dematerialized form only.

The two Depositories in operation are National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) and Central Depository Services Limited (CDSL).

Following are some of the advantages of maintaining the securities in Dematerialised form:

A safe, convenient way to hold securities;
Immediate transfer of securities;
Elimination of risks associated with physical certificates such as bad delivery, fake securities, Delays in transit, thefts etc.
Change in address recorded with DP gets registered with all companies in one go in which the investor holds securities electronically thereby eliminating the need to correspond with each of them separately;
Easy Nomination facility;
Smooth Transmission of securities in case of any eventualities.

What are the chances of any fraud/disputes in using a demat account? Whom should I approach in such cases?

Common risk factors applicable to trading in physical shares like mismatch in signatures, loss in postal transit, etc., are absent since the dematerialised shares are traded scrip-less.

However, in an unlikely event of any other dispute, the concerned Stock Exchange and/or Depository viz. NSDL/CSDL or Securities and Exchange Board of India, may be approached for resolving such issues.

How can services of a depository be availed?

To avail the services of a depository one is required to open an account with any of the Depository Participant (DP) of National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) or Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL). Once the account is opened, a unique Client ID number would be allotted to the investor.

What procedure one should follow for dematerialisation of shares?

One may follow the procedure of dematerialisation, available on the Investor section of Company website under the section of “Shareholder Resources”.

Can one open multiple accounts?

Yes. One can open more than one account in the same name with the same DP at their different locations as well as with different DPs.

Does one need to have any minimum balance of securities in his account?

No. He does not require maintaining any such minimum balance of securities.

What is required to be done if one has physical certificates with the same combination of names, but the sequence of names is different i.e. some certificates with 'A' as first holder and 'B' as second holder and other set of certificates with 'B' as first holder and 'A' as the second holder?

In this situation one may open only one account with 'A' & 'B' as the account holders and lodge the security certificates with different order of names for dematerialisation in the same account. One needs to fill-up an additional form called "Transposition cum Demat" form, which is provided by the DP, whenever any such account is being opened. This would help to effect change in the order of names while dematerialising the securities.

What is delivery instruction slip (DIS)? What precautions does one need to observe with respect to Delivery Instruction Slips?

To give the delivery instruction to DP you have to fill one form called Delivery Instruction Slip (DIS). DIS may be compared to cheque book of a bank account.

The following precautions are to be taken in respect of DIS:

Ensure and insist with DP to issue DIS book;
Ensure that DIS numbers are pre-printed and DP takes acknowledgment for the DIS booklet issued to investor;
Ensure that your account number [client id] is pre-printed;
If the account is a joint account, all the joint holders have to sign the instruction slips. Instruction cannot be executed if all joint holders have not signed;
Do not use loose slips;
Do not leave signed blank DIS with anyone viz., broker/sub-broker; and
Keep the DIS book under lock and key when not in use.

What should I do if there are any discrepancies in transaction statement?

In case of any discrepancy in the transaction statement, you can contact your DP. If the discrepancy cannot be resolved by the DP, you should approach the Depository.

Dividend

I have not received my dividend, what action should I take?

You may write to the RTA furnishing the documents required for – Duplicate Dividend Warrant, while also quoting your folio number/client ID particulars (in case of demat shares).

I have received dividend but why company has deducted the tax on it?

In terms of the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961, as amended by the Finance Act, 2020, dividend paid or distributed by a Company on or after 1st April, 2020, shall be taxable in the hands of the shareholders. Therefore, the Company is required to deduct tax at source (TDS) at the time of payment of dividend in accordance with the provisions of the Act. For any further details/ queries you may please write to the Company’s RTA.

What is the procedure for obtaining a duplicate dividend warrant?

If the validity period of the lost dividend warrant has not yet expired, one will have to wait till the expiry date since no duplicate can be issued during the validity of the original warrant. However, after the expiry of the validity period, one may inform the RTA and furnish the documents required for – Duplicate Dividend Warrant

On receipt of the required documents, the RTA would verify the same and request the Company to transfer the dividend amount, directly into the Bank account (details provided by the shareholder/ claimant) by way of NEFT/ RTGS.

Can I claim the old dividends relating to past years that have not been received by me?

As per the present law, the company retains all unpaid/unclaimed dividends for the past seven years. If one has not received any of these dividends, he/ she should write to our RTA with relevant particulars such as folio number/DP ID & Client ID, concerned dividend, year etc., and the Company shall arrange to pay the dividend remaining unpaid in the records.

What happens to dividend, which remains unpaid/unclaimed for more than 7 years?

In case of dividend amount remaining unpaid/unclaimed for a period more than 7 years then the said amount is necessarily transferred to the "Investor Education and Protection Fund" (IEPF), constituted by the Central Government.

For the unpaid/ unclaimed dividend, which has been transferred to IEPF authority, the required documents are required to be submitted to the RTA and accordingly an “Entitlement Letter” would be issued for claiming the same from IEPF.

For claiming the shares from IEPF authority, one would be required to follow the procedure as provided on www.iepf.gov.in.

In order to protect against fraudulent encashment, how can one update/ incorporate his bank account details in the folio/ demat account. What is the procedure that he should follow?

Please furnish the documentation enclosed for “Updating Bank details/Dividend Mandate form” to our RTA, in case the shares are held in physical form. However, if one is holding the shares in electronic/ demat mode then such details needs to be furnished to the respective Depository Participant with whom one holds the demat account and not to the Company/ RTA.

Kindly note that no dividend warrant will be issued if the dividend payment is made online.

Why can't Hero MotoCorp take on record the bank details in case of shares held in demat mode?

As per the Depository Regulations, the Company is obliged to pay dividend as per the details of demat shareholders furnished by the concerned Depository Participant. However, if in case one needs to record his mandate then such details need to be furnished to the respective Depository Participant with whom one holds the demat account and not to Hero MotoCorp or its RTA Agent, as we are not authorised to make or incorporate any change in records received from the Depository.
