How are unlisted share prices discovered?+
Prices are discovered through a network of brokers, ESOP sellers, employee exits and recent transactions. UnlistX aggregates indicative prices from multiple counterparties and updates them based on real deal flow. Final executable price is confirmed at the quote stage and may differ from displayed prices.
What is the minimum investment ticket?+
Most unlisted shares trade in lots of 10–1,500 shares depending on the company. Typical minimum tickets range from ₹50,000 to ₹2,00,000. Some pre-IPO names with higher per-share prices may have larger minimums — we'll always quote a clear ticket size before you commit.
How is the transfer settled?+
Settlement happens via off-market transfer through CDSL/NSDL into your demat account, typically within T+2 to T+5 working days. You pay funds via NEFT/RTGS to the seller, and shares are credited directly to your demat. UnlistX manages KYC, paperwork and compliance throughout.
What are the tax implications?+
As per current Income Tax rules, unlisted shares held for over 24 months are treated as long-term capital assets, taxed at 12.5% (post-2024 budget) without indexation. Shorter holdings are taxed at slab rates. We provide a brief tax note with every transaction; please consult your CA for personalized advice as rules may change.
Can I exit before the company IPOs?+
Exit liquidity in unlisted markets is not guaranteed. We run an active buyback desk and can connect you with new buyers in our network. Flagship names typically have deeper secondary markets, while smaller names may take longer to liquidate or may not find a buyer at desired prices.
Are unlisted share investments SEBI-regulated?+
Off-market transfers of unlisted equity shares are governed by SEBI's depository framework via CDSL/NSDL. While the secondary trading itself is unregulated (no exchange involvement), all transfers go through regulated depositories. UnlistX operates as a marketplace facilitator under MIV.
Does UnlistX provide investment recommendations?+
No. UnlistX is a marketplace and execution facilitator only. We are not SEBI-registered investment advisors. Information shared is for educational purposes only and should not be construed as investment advice. All investment decisions are yours alone, and we strongly recommend consulting a qualified financial advisor before investing.
