NSDL is a financial institution that was established to hold securities such as bonds and shares in a dematerialized format. These securities are kept in depository accounts, which function similarly to bank accounts. The ownership of securities can be transferred quickly through book entries, making it easier to trade. India's capital market has been active for almost a century, but paper-based settlements have caused issues such as poor delivery and delayed transfer execution. To address these concerns, the Depositories Act of 1996 was enacted and implemented on September 20, 1995.
Financial instruments known as securities can be bought and sold on the financial market. These include equity, fixed-income securities, equity warrants, common stocks, and various other financial assets. In this discussion, we will explore the advantages of the TIN NSDL portal and the services offered by the National Assets Depository Limited (NSDL). However, it is important to first familiarize ourselves with the key elements of the TIN NSDL portal.
1. The TIN system is comprised of two main subsystems, namely the Electronic Return Acceptance and Consolidation System (ERACS) and the Online Tax Accounting System (OLTAS).
2. ERACS is designed to aid in the preparation of Annual Information Reports, TDS, and TCS by processing information provided by taxpayers and transmitting it to the Central System. It is a web-based tool that enables taxpayers to upload electronic returns of TDS, TCS, and AIR to the TIN central system.
3. On the other hand, OLTAS is primarily used by the department to obtain information about tax deposits made across the country. OLTAS processes the tax collected by various tax collection branches in India and sends it to the Central System for review by authorities.
1. The risk associated with paper-based transactions, where buyers couldn’t inspect the quality of the asset before purchasing, has been minimized. This is because securities are now maintained in dematerialized form, eliminating the possibility of poor delivery.
2. The depository system has eliminated the risks related to physical certificates, such as theft, wear and tear, mutilation, and destruction. By keeping certificates in Demat form, these dangers are no longer a concern. Additionally, it saves money on the expense of providing duplicate certificates.
3. Stamp duty, which was previously required, is no longer necessary when securities are transferred through depositories. This applies to the transfer of stock shares, debt instruments, or mutual funds.
4. In a depository system, once a security is credited to an investor’s account, they legally own that security.
This is different from the physical system, where ownership change required sending certificates to the business registration, resulting in a lengthy process and potential risks.
5. Settlement in the depository system occurs on the second working day after the trading day, allowing for faster transaction turnover and increased liquidity for investors.
6. The depository system enables the faster disbursement of non-cash corporate benefits, such as bonus shares and right shares, directly to the investor’s account. This ensures a speedy and secure transfer of securities without the risk of certificates being lost in transit.
7. Transferring securities through depositories reduces brokerage costs by minimizing back-office operations.
SEBI’s DP selection process ensures that only reputable firms are selected as depository participants.
All transactions processed by National Assets Depository Limited are recorded on its central server and mirrored in the databases of business partners.
DPs are only allowed to perform debit or credit entries in the relevant account after receiving verified client instructions.
DPs are required to provide periodic account statements to investors to enhance control.
Data exchanges between NSDL and its business partners are encrypted using state-of-the-art technology to ensure data security.
Frequent audits of depository participants and Registrar & Transfer (R&T) Agents are conducted to ensure periodic checking/inspection.
The responsible company partner must resolve all investor issues and grievances, and if they are unable to do so, the individual may approach NSDL directly.
To protect investors from losses caused by omissions, errors, or the negligence of DPs, among other things, it provides insurance coverage and compensation for such losses.
To ensure that each DP branch has at least one person who is knowledgeable about depository systems and can explain them to local investors as needed, it has introduced a certificate program (NCFM certification) in depository operations for DPs.
NSDL and its business partners use high-end computer hardware and software that adhere to industry standards for their computer and communication infrastructure.
It conducts random counter checks by sending statements to a random list of investors, who compare them to the statements provided by DP and identify any discrepancies.
To ensure that data is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, even after a natural or man-made disaster, it maintains a disaster recovery site.
