How to Transfer Shares from One Demat Account to Another

Switching to a better broker doesn’t mean you need to sell your existing holdings. If you already hold securities in a Demat account and want to move to a new platform like One Solution, you can transfer your shares smoothly—without affecting your investments.

This blog will explain how to transfer shares between Demat accounts in India, the types of transfers available, and key things to keep in mind.

Why Transfer Shares to Another Demat Account?

• To reduce brokerage and annual charges

• To switch to a more user-friendly platform

• To consolidate multiple Demat accounts

• To access better customer support and tools

Types of Share Transfers

There are two primary methods to transfer shares from one Demat account to another:

1. Intra-Depository Transfer

Transfer of shares within the same depository (e.g., NSDL to NSDL or CDSL to CDSL).

2. Inter-Depository Transfer

Transfer of shares between different depositories (e.g., from NSDL to CDSL or vice versa).

Modes of Share Transfer

Most brokers still follow this method:

2. Fill in the target Demat account number and ISIN (International Securities Identification Number) of each share you want to transfer.

3. Submit the form to your old broker.

4. Shares are transferred within 2–3 working days.

📌 Make sure the names in both accounts match exactly.

Steps:
