Moving your stock portfolio or mutual funds between brokers in India no longer requires paper Delivery Instruction Slips (DIS). Investors can complete secure online inter-depository transfers in minutes.
1. CDSL Easiest Online Transfer (CDSL to CDSL / NSDL)
- Register for CDSL Easiest using your 16-digit Demat Account BOID.
- Add your destination broker's Demat BOID as a 'Trusted Account'.
- Submit the transaction by selecting the ISIN, share quantity, and execution date.
- Authenticate the transfer using your CDSL 6-digit TPIN and mobile OTP.
2. NSDL Speed-e Transfer (NSDL to NSDL / CDSL)
- Access the NSDL Speed-e portal and register with your DP ID and Client ID.
- Enter transfer details under 'Inter-Depository Transfer' or 'Off-Market Transfer'.
- Authenticate using digital signature token or Aadhaar e-Sign.
3. Capital Gains and Off-Market Taxation
Transferring shares between two Demat accounts held by the same PAN is not considered a transfer of title and attracts zero capital gains tax. Always update the purchase price / original acquisition date on your destination broker's portal to ensure accurate future capital gains reporting.
