- DematerialisationConverting securities held as physical certificates into book-entry holdings: the certificates are defaced, mutilated and surrendered to the issuer, and an equivalent quantity is credited to the holder's demat account.
- ISINThe 12-character code (ISO 6166) that identifies one specific security in the depository system — country prefix, nine-character basic number and a check digit, as in INE475C01012.
- RematerialisationThe reverse of dematerialisation — the demat account is debited and the issuer prints fresh physical certificates for the same quantity, to be despatched within 30 days.
