Name Deletion in Share:

Name deletion in shares becomes necessary when a joint shareholder passes away, or when shares need to be transferred solely to the surviving holder(s). This process involves removing the name of the deceased or undesired shareholder from the share certificate and updating the records with the respective Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA) and Depository Participant (DP) if shares are in demat form.

The Process for Deleting a Name from Shares:

The process of deleting a name from shareholding records varies slightly depending on whether the shares are in physical or demat form, but the general steps are as follows:
1. Collect Essential Documents ○ Obtain all necessary documents, including the original share certificate (for physical shares), death certificate (if applicable), ID proof of the surviving shareholder(s), and a notarized affidavit if required. For demat shares, additional documents may be needed as per the depository’s requirements.
2. Fill Out the Name Deletion Request Form ○ Complete a name deletion request form provided by the RTA or DP. This form requires details of the deceased or exiting shareholder, surviving holder(s), and shareholding particulars.
3. Submit the Documents to the RTA or DP ○ Submit the completed form, original share certificates (if physical), and supporting documents to the RTA or DP. They will verify the documents, including the relationship between the deceased shareholder and the surviving shareholder(s), and check for any outstanding issues.
4. RTA or DP Verification and Processing ○ The RTA or DP will process the request upon successful verification. For physical shares, they will issue new share certificates with the updated names. For demat shares, the DP will update records, and the shares will reflect the new details in the demat account.
5. Confirmation of Name Deletion ○ Once the process is complete, you will receive a confirmation of the name deletion. In the case of physical shares, new certificates will be issued to the surviving shareholder(s); in demat shares, the name update will be reflected in the demat account.
