Where to see unlisted shares?

Unlisted shares are stocks of a company that aren't traded on public stock exchanges. Instead, they're privately held and typically traded through over-the-counter (OTC) transactions or private placements. These shares aren't subject to the same regulatory requirements and disclosure obligations as publicly traded shares.

For individuals interested in investing in unlisted shares, it's crucial to grasp how to navigate this market effectively. One common question from new investors in the unlisted market is, "How to invest in unlisted market?"

If you've invested in unlisted shares through Precize, the shares are usually transferred within 48 business hours. Once the transfer is complete, you can check the status of your shares in the following places:

1. Your depository account (CDSL & NSDL)

2. Your demat account

3. Your Precize account

• Depository account:

If you have a CDSL account, you can easily check your unlisted shares using the Easi service provided by CDSL. Here's how:

1. Log in to your CDSL account.

2. After logging in, navigate to the "view holdings" section.

3. There, you'll be able to see all your holdings, including any unlisted shares in your CDSL account. You can easily search for the share you wish to check by its name.

Unlisted shares offer opportunities for early-stage investment in companies not yet listed on public exchanges, but due to their regulatory differences, they require careful consideration.

For those exploring this market, understanding how to track investments is vital. If you've invested through Precize, your shares should transfer within 48 hours. From there, you can monitor them through your CDSL or NSDL depository accounts, your demat account, or your Precize account.

While CDSL's Easi and NSDL's IdeAs offer convenient ways to manage holdings, the timeframe for shares to reflect in demat accounts can vary.
