Ask about unlisted shares: plain answers from published notes
This page answers common questions about how unlisted shares work: pricing, transfer, tax, lock-in and IPOs. Type a question and it matches your words to answers written by the desk and drawn from its published notes, each saying what it is based on. It is a question-and-answer page, not a live chatbot.
What it covers
What an unlisted share is and how it sits in your demat account with NSDL or CDSL; how a dealer arrives at an indicative price from recent trades, the last primary round and listed peers; how a buy runs from an enquiry to an off-market transfer; how gains are taxed, with the 24-month long-term threshold for unlisted shares; and what a lock-in after listing means for pre-IPO holders. Each answer links to the research note it is drawn from.
How to get a useful answer
Ask about a mechanism, not a company: "how is the price set" or "what is the lock-in after listing" will find an answer; "should I buy" will not. If nothing matches, the page says so rather than guessing. Every answer carries a date, and rules change with each Finance Act and SEBI circular, so check the date before relying on it.
What the desk answers instead
A live price, availability, a question about your own holding: those are desk questions, answered through an enquiry, Monday to Saturday, 8:30am to 6pm IST. Answers here are pre-written information that may be incomplete or out of date; for advice on whether an unlisted share suits you, consult a SEBI-registered investment adviser.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a live AI chatbot?
No. It matches your question to answers written by the desk and drawn from its published notes. It does not generate new text and it does not learn from what you type.
Are the answers advice?
No. They are general information reviewed by the desk. For advice, consult a SEBI-registered investment adviser.
Can it tell me the price of a company?
No. Indicative prices are on the company pages in the screener, and a firm quote comes from the desk through an enquiry.
Is my question stored?
No. The matching runs in your browser and nothing you type is sent to the desk.
What if my question is not answered?
Send it to the desk by WhatsApp, phone or email. Questions that come up often are added to the page.
