Why Selling Unlisted Shares Is Hard — and How We Solve It
Unlike listed stocks, unlisted shares have no exchange, no order book and no guaranteed buyer. Investors typically get stuck for one of these reasons:
- The company was delisted from NSE/BSE years ago and the shares now sit frozen in a demat account.
- ESOP shares were exercised but the employer’s liquidity window closed or never opened.
- Shares were inherited — often as physical certificates in a late family member’s name.
- A Pre-IPO investment stalled and the expected listing never happened.
As active buyers and market-makers in the unquoted market since 1990, we quote you a genuine price backed by real demand — not a lowball “distress” offer — and we handle the transfer paperwork end to end.
What You Can Sell Through Us
Unlisted & Pre-IPO Shares
Shares of private companies acquired through private placements, Pre-IPO deals or secondary transactions. We quote live prices on 90+ actively traded companies. Top Unlisted Shares We Deal In
ESOP Shares
Exercised employee stock options in unlisted companies. We regularly buy ESOP holdings from employees of financial services firms, tech companies and startups — with complete confidentiality from your employer.
Delisted Shares
Shares of companies removed from the stock exchanges. These still have value in the unquoted market, and we are among the oldest dealers in delisted scrips in India.
Physical Share Certificates
Old paper certificates, including inherited holdings requiring transmission. We guide you through dematerialisation (or buy select scrips in physical form where rules permit) and handle name-mismatch and signature-verification issues that stall most sellers.
How to Sell Unlisted Shares — 4 Simple Steps

Step 2 — Receive a Live Quote. We check current demand and quote a firm buy price. No obligation. Compare us with anyone — our margins are among the thinnest in the market.
Step 3 — Complete Simple Documentation. Delivery Instruction Slip (DIS) for demat transfer, PAN and bank proof, plus our deal confirmation. For physical shares, we assist with transfer deeds or demat conversion first.
Step 4 — Transfer & Get Paid. You transfer shares to our demat account; payment is released to your bank account promptly on receipt. Clean settlement, documented at every stage.
Tax on Selling Unlisted Shares (What Sellers Should Know)
Gains from unlisted shares are taxed differently from listed stocks. In broad terms: shares held for more than 24 months are treated as long-term capital assets, while shorter holdings are taxed as short-term gains at your income-tax slab rate. Long-term gains on unlisted shares are taxed at the rate applicable under current capital-gains rules, and unlisted shareholdings must also be disclosed in your income-tax return.
Tax rules change with each Finance Act, and your position depends on your residency status, acquisition cost and holding history — so please confirm the current rates with your chartered accountant before you sell. We provide the complete transaction trail (deal note, payment proof, transfer records) that your CA will need.
Note to team: Have a CA review this section annually and stamp it with a “Reviewed by [Name], CA — [Month Year]” byline. This is a powerful E-E-A-T signal on a YMYL page.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I sell unlisted shares in India?
Contact a trusted unlisted share dealer, share your company name and quantity, receive a quote, complete the demat transfer via a Delivery Instruction Slip, and receive payment to your bank account. The entire process typically completes within a few working days once documentation is in order.
Can I sell delisted shares?
Yes. Delisted shares can be sold in the unquoted (over-the-counter) market. We have dealt in delisted scrips for over three decades and quote prices on a wide range of delisted companies.
How do I sell ESOP shares of an unlisted company?
Once your options are exercised and the shares are in your demat account, they can be sold in the private market, subject to any lock-in or company transfer restrictions. Check your ESOP scheme terms, then contact us for a confidential quote.
Can I sell physical share certificates?
In most cases, physical shares must first be dematerialised before transfer. We guide you through the demat process, including transmission of inherited certificates and resolution of name or signature mismatches.
How is the price of unlisted shares decided?
Prices are driven by demand and supply in the private market, the company’s latest financials, dividend record and any expected IPO. We quote live prices based on actual trades, and you’re free to compare our quote with other dealers.
How long does payment take after I sell?
Once shares are received in our demat account with complete documentation, payment is released promptly — typically the same or next working day.
Is there any tax deducted when I sell unlisted shares?
Sales between resident individuals are generally settled at full value, and you account for capital-gains tax when filing your return. Non-resident sellers may have TDS implications. Confirm your specific situation with a chartered accountant.
What documents do I need to sell?
PAN card, a cancelled cheque or bank proof, your demat Client Master List (CML), and a signed Delivery Instruction Slip. For inherited or physical shares, additional transmission documents may apply — we’ll give you an exact checklist.
