According to SEBI “It has also been decided that all off-market transfer of securities shall be permitted by the Depositories only by execution of Physical Delivery Instruction Slip (DIS) duly signed by the client himself or by way of electronic DIS. The Depositories shall also put in place a system of obtaining client’s consent through One Time Password (OTP) for such off market transfer of securities from client’s demat account”. Hence we use only OTP for transfer of shares from one Demat account to another.

Diversification and exposure.

Assuming you already have a sufficiently diversified portfolio across a range of safe and moderately safe securities, it is certainly worth considering for inclusion in a balanced portfolio.

• Of course, each investor's situation is different, and suitability is a case-by-case conversation. But for many accredited investors, later-stage private market investments can certainly offer compelling investment opportunities while the companies are in the rapid value creation phase.
