Please note that the shares of OnMobile Global Limited are subject to trading in compulsory demat form. Hence, if you are holding shares in physical form and wish to sell the shares to a third party through Stock Exchange, please get the shares dematerialized and credited in your demat account. You can then approach your broker for sale of shares held by you in dematerialized form, along with the authorization for debit of your demat account with the number of shares you want to sell. The format for authorizing the debit of your demat account will be supplied by you by the DP at the time of opening of your demat account.
However, in case you are holding shares in physical form and wish to transfer the shares out of market, please execute a transfer deed and send the same along with the share certificate to the registered office of the Company or our Registrars.
