Shares are bought and sold through Demat account. However, many times it happens that investors have more than one demat account, then shares have to be transferred from one account to another. Transfer of shares from one demat account to another is very easy and can be done both offline and online. However, according to your convenience, instead of transferring all the shares from one account to another, you can also transfer some shares. There will be no change in the date of purchase of shares on transfer.

Share transfer needed for these four reasons

closure-cum-transfer
Under this process, you close your existing account and transfer your entire holdings to the demat account opened through the new broker. For this, you need to submit the account closure form as well as the Client Master Report (CMR) of the new broker to your existing broker. It should be noted here that if a share is locked-in, there will be no transfer of shares between CDSL and NSDL depositories. Apart from this, both the accounts should be in the name of the same person or if there is a joint account then the primary holder should be same in both the accounts.

offline transfer
To transfer the shares offline, a DIS (Delivery Instruction Slip) has to be submitted with your current broker. Apart from this, a copy of the CMR received from the new broker has to be submitted along with this form. If the current broker is NSDL then inter depository slip has to be used and if it is CDSL then intra-depository slip has to be used. In this slip, the ID of both the brokers, ISIN number of the shares to be transferred, transfer mode (by default inter-depository transfer) etc. have to be filled. Keep in mind that only freeholdings can be transferred under this and if you are closing the account then there will be no transfer charge i.e. if both the accounts are running then there may be some charge for share transfer.
