If you currently have stocks in your old broker account and want to transfer these stocks to your Paytm money account, you need to follow the below steps. When you open a new Paytm money trading account, you get a new Demat account. The below process involves transferring these holdings from the old Demat account to the Paytm money Demat account.

Transfer holdings are a one-time activity that needs to be done in order to track all stocks in the Paytm money app or website. The process of transferring holdings varies depending on your existing broker.

2. Your previous broker may ask you for the CMR copy of Paytm Money, we have already shared it when you have opened your account. You can find the CMR document in your email inbox by searching for ‘CMR Paytm money’. In case you are not able to find it, please raise a request through the support portal.
3. Fill the DIS booklet as your previous broker instructs with the 16 digits Paytm Money’s Demat account number and the list of shares you want to transfer.
4. Your broker should transfer the shares within 24-48 working hours, if it’s not done then reach out to them.
