What Happens If a Share Gets Delisted from stock market? 📉

Author: @nkit

Many investors panic when they hear that a share they own has been delisted. Common questions include:

• Will my shares become worthless?
• Can I still sell them?
• Who will help me now?

This blog explains everything — from basic meaning of delisting to how to approach the company, registrar, and SEBI — in very simple words. 😊

What Is Delisting of a Share? 🤔

Delisting means a company’s shares are removed from stock exchanges like NSE or BSE.

After delisting, shares:

• Cannot be traded on stock exchanges
• Remain in your Demat account

Types of Delisting 📊

1️⃣ Voluntary Delisting

When a company itself decides to delist its shares.

Usually includes a buyback offer to public shareholders.

2️⃣ Compulsory Delisting

When the stock exchange forces delisting due to:

• Rule violations
• Poor disclosures
• Fraud or non-compliance

What Happens to Your Shares After Delisting? 💼

✔ Shares Remain Yours

Your ownership does not end. Shares stay in your Demat account.

❌ Trading Becomes Difficult

You cannot trade on NSE/BSE. Liquidity becomes very low.

🔁 Private or OTC Deals

You may sell shares through:

• Private buyer
• Over-the-Counter (OTC) deals

These options are risky and slow.

Shares of a Delisted Company Still Held – What Should You Do? 🧾

If you are still holding shares of a delisted company, the first thing to understand is:

You must be proactive. No automatic help comes unless you approach the right authority.

How to Approach the Delisted Company 🏢

You can directly contact the company through:

• Company’s registered office
• Investor relations email
• Official website (if active)

Ask about:

• Buyback or exit option
• Company’s current operational status
• Future plans (merger, revival, liquidation)

Some companies offer off-market buyback even after delisting.

Role of Share Registrar (RTA) 📑

Every listed company appoints a Share Registrar (RTA) such as:

• KFin Technologies
• Link Intime
• Bigshare Services

The registrar can help you with:

✔ Confirmation of shareholding
✔ Corporate action details
✔ Transfer or transmission issues
✔ Company communication records

Registrar details are available on old stock exchange filings or company notices.

Who Will Assist Investors in Delisted Shares? 🤝

Depending on the case:

• Company – for voluntary delisting or buyback
• Registrar – for ownership and records
• Stock Exchange – for compulsory delisting info
• SEBI – for investor protection and complaints

Role of SEBI in Delisting Cases 🏛️

SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) plays a regulatory and protective role.

SEBI:

✔ Sets delisting rules
✔ Ensures fair exit price in voluntary delisting
✔ Protects investor interest
✔ Handles investor complaints

However, SEBI does not buy your shares or guarantee recovery.

How to File a Complaint with SEBI 📝

If the company or registrar does not respond:

• File complaint on SCORES platform
• Attach Demat statement
• Mention company & delisting details

SEBI will forward the issue to the concerned entity for resolution.

Important Risks of Holding Delisted Shares 🚨

• No liquidity
• Uncertain valuation
• Limited information
• High loss risk

Final Thoughts ✨

Holding shares of a delisted company is not illegal, but it is high-risk.

Always:

✔ Track company announcements
✔ Exit during voluntary delisting if possible
✔ Contact registrar and SEBI when needed

Awareness and timely action can reduce losses significantly. 📘
