Simplifying India’s Securities Market: ISIN, Demat Accounts, and Compliance for Global Investors

India’s capital markets are gaining momentum as a preferred destination for global investors. At the center of market participation lie two regulatory essentials: the International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) and Demat accounts. ISIN provides standardized identification of securities for seamless global traceability, while Demat accounts, managed through NSDL and CDSL, serve as the electronic infrastructure for secure and compliant holdings in India.

Recent regulatory measures by SEBI and RBI have further shaped the compliance landscape. Enhanced KYC requirements, UBO disclosures, electronic filings, and revised reporting under FIRMS have improved transparency but also created additional procedural obligations. For cross-border investors, understanding these developments is crucial to avoid delays and ensure operational efficiency.

Join us on October 8th for this insightful webinar featuring our Business Advisory Manager, Neeraj Khatri. He will provide a technical overview of ISIN allocation and Demat account structures in India, discuss recent regulatory updates, and share practical guidance on documentation, account setup, and compliance to help global investors navigate India’s securities market efficiently.

Our expert will cover the following:

• Introduction to India’s securities market and investor access
• ISIN and demat explained: identification, digital holdings, and depositories (NSDL/CDSL)
• Global investment considerations: FPI/NRI account structures and eligibility
• Regulatory challenges: KYC, UBO, FIRMS reporting and documentation
