Questions

1. Register and complete your KYC. 2. Browse available stocks and select the company you want to invest in. 3. Enter the quantity and review the total investment. 4. Place the order and transfer funds via RTGS/NEFT to our designated account. 5. Our team will process the DIS (Delivery Instruction Slip) and shares will be credited to your Demat account within 1–3 working days.

The minimum investment varies by company. Typically it is the lot size multiplied by the current share price. Most companies have lot sizes ranging from 50 to 200 shares, which means minimum investments typically range from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 2,00,000. The exact minimum is displayed on each stock's detail page.

Yes, a Demat account is mandatory. SEBI mandates that all securities – including unlisted shares – be held in dematerialized (electronic) form. You can open a Demat account with any SEBI-registered Depository Participant (DP) such as Zerodha, AngelOne, HDFC Securities, ICICI Direct, etc.

After successful payment confirmation, shares are typically credited to your Demat account within 1–3 working days. Delays may occasionally occur due to DP processing times or company registrar verification. We keep you updated via email and WhatsApp at each step.

No. Unlisted shares trade in whole units only, and typically in predefined lot sizes. Fractional share purchasing is not supported for unlisted securities under Indian regulations. You must purchase the minimum lot size or a multiple thereof.

Log in to your TradeItFinvest account and go to your portfolio. Select the stock you wish to sell and indicate the quantity. We will match you with a buyer from our network. Once a buyer is found and price is agreed, you submit a DIS to your DP. After transfer confirmation, funds are transferred to your bank account within 1–2 working days.

Unlisted shares are less liquid than listed shares – finding a buyer may take time. Our platform actively matches buyers and sellers across our investor network of 50,000+ registered investors. For popular stocks, matches typically happen within a few days. Less popular companies may take longer. This is a key risk of unlisted share investing that investors must understand before investing.

To sell your unlisted shares, you need: (1) Signed SEBI Annexures (A and B), (2) Delivery Instruction Slip (DIS) from your DP, (3) Your PAN card copy, and (4) Bank account details for payment receipt. We will guide you through the entire documentation process.

In the event of company bankruptcy or liquidation, equity shareholders are the last in the priority order after creditors, debenture holders, and preference shareholders. You may receive a partial or zero recovery. This is a fundamental risk of equity investing – particularly in unlisted companies where financial disclosures are limited. Diversification across multiple companies reduces this risk.

You need: (1) PAN Card – mandatory, (2) Aadhaar Card or other address proof, (3) Cancelled cheque or bank passbook, and (4) Demat account details (DP ID and Client ID or CML). All documents must be self-attested. The entire KYC process is digital and typically completed within a few hours.

Yes, NRIs can invest in unlisted shares subject to FEMA regulations. NRI investors need an NRE/NRO bank account and an NRI Demat account (with a designated bank as DP). Some companies may have restrictions on NRI shareholding as per their Articles of Association. Our team can provide specific guidance for NRI investments.

Standard KYC verification is completed within 4–24 hours on business days. If your documents require additional verification (e.g., NRI accounts, HUF investments, corporate accounts), it may take 2–3 business days. You will be notified at each stage via email and SMS.

Yes. We comply with India's IT Act, 2000 and applicable data protection guidelines. Your KYC documents are stored on encrypted servers and are never shared with third parties without your consent, except as required by law (SEBI, Income Tax, etc.). Our security infrastructure follows industry best practices including SSL/TLS encryption, access controls, and regular security audits.

Capital gains tax applies on profits from selling unlisted shares. If held for more than 24 months: Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) taxed at 20% with indexation benefit. If held for 24 months or less: Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG) taxed at your applicable income tax slab rate (up to 30%). Note: No STT (Securities Transaction Tax) applies to unlisted share transactions.

Under Section 194Q of the Income Tax Act, TDS @ 0.1% applies when a buyer purchases shares worth more than Rs. 50 lakh from the same seller in a financial year. The buyer is responsible for deducting TDS and depositing it with the Income Tax Department. Our platform flags this requirement automatically and provides guidance for compliant TDS deduction.

No. Cash payments are strictly prohibited for unlisted share transactions. All payments must be made via electronic banking channels – NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, or UPI. This is mandated by PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act) and is required to create a clear audit trail for income tax purposes. Cash transactions may attract penalties under Sections 269ST and 271DA of the Income Tax Act.

Report unlisted share capital gains in Schedule CG (Capital Gains) of your ITR-2 or ITR-3. For LTCG: use Part A of Schedule CG under "Long-term capital gains on sale of assets other than listed securities." For STCG: report under "Short-term capital gains on sale of other assets." You should maintain records of purchase price, sale price, date of purchase, and date of sale. Consult a CA for indexation calculations and accurate tax filing.

No. The sale/purchase of securities (including unlisted shares) is exempt from GST under Schedule III of the CGST Act. However, GST @ 18% is applicable on any intermediary service fees or commission charged by platforms/brokers for facilitating the transaction. Our fee structure is transparent and GST is clearly indicated where applicable.
