Re-materialisation is the process by which a client can get shares and securities held in a Demat Account converted into physical share certificates by submitting a re-materialisation request to its Depository Participant (DP) with whom they have a demat account. The DP will then start processing the request by entering the details in their system, which will block holdings to the extent of the remat request. The DP will then release the request to the concerned depository (NSDL/CDSL) and also send the Remat Request Form (RRF) received from the client to the Issuer / R&T agent. If the details are found satisfactory, the Issuer / R&T agent then prints the certificates, despatches the same to the client directly, and simultaneously electronically confirms the acceptance of the remat request to the concerned depository (NSDL/CDSL). Thereafter, the client's blocked balances are debited from the demat account.
