Unlisted shares move only between demat accounts — there is no physical certificate to hand over. Tell the demat desk below and a person calls you back to walk you through opening one. You complete your own KYC, and the account is opened, held and charged by the depository participant you apply to.

Who is the account for?
Name, a 10-digit mobile and a working email are all the desk needs.
Your details are sent to the demat desk so a person can call you back. No documents are uploaded on this page. Account opening, KYC acceptance and all charges rest with the depository participant you apply to. Information only — not investment advice and not an offer to deal.
WHY IT'S THE FIRST STOP
THE DEMAT IS THE TICKET.
Unlisted shares are transferred through NSDL or CDSL. Without a demat account there is no way to receive or deliver them.
REASON 01
IT IS THE ONLY ROUTE
Unlisted shares are transferred through NSDL or CDSL. No demat, no delivery — in either direction.
REASON 02
PROOF OF OWNERSHIP
Your holding statement and CML are what the desk looks at before it can review a sell enquiry. No price is quoted or guaranteed.
REASON 03
SETTLEMENT NEEDS IT
Unlisted shares move off-market between demat accounts, so a valid DP ID is needed at both ends before any transfer can be documented.
REASON 04
IT SURVIVES LISTING
If the company lists later, the shares are already in demat — nothing to convert, nothing to chase.
WHAT IT COSTS TO RIDE
THE FARE BOARD.
Every charge below is levied by the depository participant or the depository, never by BuyUnlistedShares. Ask your DP for its current schedule before you sign.

BuyUnlistedShares is a brand of Gayatri Financial Synergy. We are not a depository participant, broker or stock exchange, and we publish no DP tariff because we set none. Read the depository participant's own schedule of charges before you sign — it governs, and it can change without notice.

WHEN THE DP CONFIRMS
The account is opened in your name
The DP issues your DP ID and holds the account. Send us the CML and you can enquire.
ALREADY HOLD A DEMAT?
THEN YOU'RE ALREADY AT THE PLATFORM.
Any NSDL or CDSL demat works — you do not need a new one to enquire with us. Send the desk your CML and it will confirm the account can receive or deliver an off-market transfer of unlisted shares.
Do I need a demat account to buy unlisted shares?+
Yes. Unlisted shares are delivered into a demat account through NSDL or CDSL. There is no physical certificate and no way to hold them outside the depository system.
Are you the one opening my account?+
No. BuyUnlistedShares is not a depository participant, broker or exchange. You open the account with a depository participant, which runs KYC, holds the account and sets the charges. The desk explains the process, tells you what to keep ready and answers questions — nothing more.
Do I also need a trading account?+
Not to hold unlisted shares — a demat account is enough. You would need a trading account only to buy and sell on an exchange after a company lists.
Can I use a demat account I already have?+
Yes, any NSDL or CDSL demat works. Send us your CML and the desk will confirm it can receive an off-market transfer. There is no benefit to opening a second account just to enquire with us.
What will it cost me each year?+
DPs typically charge an annual maintenance fee and a per-ISIN fee when shares leave your account. We do not publish those figures because we do not set them — read the DP's current schedule of charges before you sign. Nothing is charged by this website for making an enquiry.
Can NRIs open one?+
NRI accounts need repatriable or non-repatriable tagging and any transfer must stay within FEMA rules, so they are handled case by case. Tell the desk on the form and a person will explain what applies to your situation.
FIRST STOP
GET YOUR DEMAT, THEN GET YOUR SEAT.
A minute to send the enquiry, then a person from the desk calls you back within 3 business days and explains exactly what the depository participant will ask for. No obligation, and nothing is charged for the call.
