NSDL

 

 National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL)

    What is NSDL?
The National Securities Depository Limited is a financial entity set up to hold securities in the form of tangible or non-physical certificates. It's like a bank account system for securities like bonds and shares, in the form of either tangible or intangible certificates. It was set up to facilitate the fast transfer of securities. Since all transfers are now done electronically, it saves a lot of time. The NSDL maintains Demat accounts in which financial securities are held in electronic forms.



The benefits of holding an NSDL Demat account:
1. No bad deliveries: The quality of assets can be easily examined as they are held in electronic form in the Demat account.

2. Elimination of physical certificate risks: There is no risk of theft, destruction, damage or mutilation to certificates.

3.Elimination of Stamp Duty: Securities transferred through depositories have no stamp duties.

4. Immediate transfer and registration of securities: Once the security is credited to the investor's account, he becomes the legal owner of that security. The arduous process of sending it to the company registrar to transfer ownership and all the risks involved with it are eliminated.

5. Faster settlement and more liquidity: In the case of NSDL, settlement is done on the 2nd working day from the trading day.

6. Reduced paperwork: Back-office paperwork by brokers is reduced along with the brokerage charges. Additionally, it eliminates the need to maintain many trail documents for a transaction.

7. Status reports: Statements detailing transactions and holdings are provided regularly.

8. Easy transmission and change in investor details: Shares held in the Demat account can be easily transmitted by presenting required documentation, and it reflects in the databases of all companies where you are registered as an owner of securities. Furthermore, investor details can also be changed by providing the documentation and informing the Depository Participants.

Composition of TIN NSDL Portal
  • An electronic return acceptance and consolidation system (ERACS), a central system, and an online tax accounting system comprise a TIN System (OLTAS).
  • A TIN system is largely composed of two major subsystems: an Electronic Return Acceptance and Consolidation System (ERACS) and an Online Tax Accounting System (OTAs) (OLTAS).

Benefits of NSDL

  • No bad deliveries: In the instance of a paper-based transaction, the buyer did not have the option of inspecting the asset’s quality before purchasing it, hence there was a risk involved. NSDL has minimized the danger since securities are maintained in dematerialized form, eliminating the possibility of poor delivery.
  • Elimination of risks related to physical certificates: In the instance of a paper-based transaction, the buyer did not have the option of inspecting the asset’s quality before purchasing it, hence there was a risk involved. NSDL has minimized the danger since securities are maintained in dematerialized form, eliminating the possibility of poor delivery.
  • Stamp duty: While stamp duty was required in a previous way, it is no longer required when securities are transferred through depositories. This regulation also applies when transferring stock shares, debt instruments, or mutual funds.
  • Faster settlement and more liquidity: In the case of NSDL, settlement takes place on the second working day after the trading day, i.e. T+2 rolling settlement. This allows for faster transaction turnover and enhances liquidity with investors.

Conclusion
India's capital market, which is over a century old, was always very active. However, due to paper-based settlements, it had some drawbacks such as bad distribution, delayed execution of transition, etc. The Depositories Act, 1996, provided for the creation of Security Depositories in India for managing securities. NSDL is India's first & largest depository. Established on 8th November 1996, its primary purpose is handling securities held in the Indian capital market in a dematerialized form, and it has made the process easy and convenient.

                                                 National Stock Exchange    History:    National Stock Exchange was incorporated in the year 1992 to bring about transparency in the Indian equity markets. Instead of trading memberships being confined to a group of brokers, NSE ensured that anyone who was qualified, experienced, and met the minimum financial requirements was allowed to trade.[19] In this context, NSE was ahead of its time when it separated ownership and management of the exchange under SEBI's supervision. Stock price information that could earlier be accessed only by a handful of people could now be seen by a client in a remote location with the same ease. The paper-based settlement was replaced by electronic depository-based accounts and settlement of trades was always done on time. One of the most critical changes involved a ro...
