Transferring Within NSDL

Your old broker uses NSDL AND Kotak (which uses NSDL) – Both accounts are in the same depository.

NSDL Speed-e is an online system for transferring shares between NSDL accounts. It’s fast, secure, paperless, and completely digital.

Visit NSDL e-Services:

  1. Go to: https://eservices.nsdl.com

  2. Look for: “Speed-e Registration” or “New User Registration”

  3. Select: “Password User'' (not Smart Card)

  4. Click: “Register”

Fill in Your Details:

  • Your DP ID: (Your old broker’s DP ID, e.g., CDSL participant code if applicable, or NSDL if applicable)

  • Your Client ID: 8-digit number

  • Email Address: Your registered email with old broker

  • Mobile Number: Your registered mobile with old broker

  • Create Password: Your chosen Speed-e password (remember this)

What Happens Next:

  1. Download the filled registration form (PDF)

  2. Send this form to: speede@nsdl.co.in from your registered email address

  3. Your old broker’s DP will verify and approve within 1-2 working days

  4. You’ll receive an email with your Speed-e login credentials

Save Your Speed-e Login Credentials:

  • User ID: (provided by NSDL)

  • Password: (your created password)

  • Keep these safe – you’ll use them to initiate transfers

  1. Go to: https://eservices.nsdl.com

  2. Click: “Speed-e” or “Existing User Login”

  3. Enter: Your User ID and Password

  4. Complete OTP verification (sent to your registered mobile/email)

  5. You should now see your demat account dashboard

Before you can transfer shares to Kotak, you must pre-authorize Kotak’s account as a trusted beneficiary:

In Speed-e Dashboard:

  1. Go to: Inquiries → Add Beneficiary (NSDL)
