They are equally secure and widely used methods. However in the wake of enhanced digitalisation of processes, many users prefer to go the digital way for speed and convenience

Manual procedure for transferring securities

Please get a delivery instruction slip (DIS) from your Depository Participant (DP) where you hold your demat account and submit it to your DP by filling up all the mandatory fields.
Mandatory fields would include the following:
- Target DP ID of Metra Trust – IN304203
- Target Client ID of your Metra Trust demat account
- DP Name - Metra Trust
- Reason Code / Reason-Purpose
- ISIN, Security Name, Quantity (in figures & in words)
- Execution Date
- Signature of demat account holders
You will need to submit the DIS slip to your existing DP where you are holding your demat account. The DP may charge for this transfer. This amount may vary from DP to DP. However, if you close your demat account and the pattern of holding of your demat account and your Metra Trust demat account are the same, it is free of cost.
