- The facility applies to transfer requests lodged earlier that were rejected or returned due to deficiencies.
- Securities transferred under this scheme will be mandatorily credited to the transferee only in demat mode.
- A lock-in period of one year from the date of registration of transfer applies, during which securities cannot be transferred in the market, pledged, or otherwise encumbered.
- Transferees are required to submit original security certificates and other documents as detailed in the SEBI circular.

The company has published the necessary advertisements in newspapers, including the Financial Express and Mumbai Lakshadeep, to inform stakeholders. The detailed information regarding timelines and procedures is available on the company’s website.
