KNOW THE LINE BEFORE YOU RIDE.
Everything the desk would want you to read before your first enquiry — what unlisted shares are, how buying actually works, where to buy and how to choose, how the taxman sees them, and the risks in plain language. Information only, never investment advice.
The asset class from first principles — how unlisted shares exist, trade over the counter, and settle into your demat.
The journey step by step — demat account, price discovery, off-market transfer, contract note. Information, not execution.
Holding periods, LTCG and STCG treatment, and the provisions that matter — with every 'consult your tax adviser' caveat intact.
Illiquidity, valuation opacity, lock-ins, limited disclosures — read this carriage-to-carriage before you consider boarding.
Six checks before you pick who to ride with — demat delivery into your own name, contract notes, transparent pricing and disclosed risk.
