Procedures for Conversion

We are pleased to share our latest publication on “Procedures for Conversion and Issuance of Shares in Book-Entry Form”, developed in line with recent regulatory developments by SECP and CDC.
With the introduction of mandatory requirements under the Companies Act, 2017 and subsequent regulations, all public unlisted and private limited companies are now required to convert physical shares into book-entry form prior to undertaking any share-related transactions.

This publication provides a comprehensive overview of:

  • Regulatory framework and recent SRO updates
  • Step-by-step process for conversion of physical shares
  • Procedures for issuance of shares in book-entry form
  • Guidelines for share transfers through CDS
  • Key compliance and reporting requirements

Our aim is to help organizations navigate these changes smoothly while ensuring compliance, transparency, and operational efficiency.
