Can I open a single account for shares held in different combination of names?
No. The demat account must be opened in the same combination in which the securities are held in the physical form. e.g.; if one share certificate is in the Joint name of Mr. A & Mr. B and another certificate is in the sole name of Mr. A. You will have to open two accounts, one in the joint name of Mr. A & Mr. B and another in the sole name of Mr. A. What do I do if I have physical certificates with the same combination of names, but the sequence of names is different. i.e. some certificates with Mr. A as first holder and Mr. B as the second holder and other set of certificates with Mr. B as first holder and Mr. A as the second holder? You have two options. Option One. You can open only one account in the name of Mr. A as the first holder and Mr. B as the second holder. Then, you can send certificates to the company to effect transposition (i.e. change the order of names on the certificate from Mr. B as the first holder & Mr. A as the second holder to Mr. A as the first holder to Mr. B
