India's most promising companies — before they list. Curated pre-IPO equity with verified pricing and full settlement support.
Every Zomato, Nykaa, and Paytm was once an unlisted company. The investors who entered before the IPO — at a fraction of the listing price — captured returns that public market investors never could. That window is what unlisted shares represent.
Unlisted shares are equity in companies that haven't yet listed on NSE or BSE. This includes late-stage unicorns awaiting their IPO (Zepto, PhonePe, OYO), established private giants (NSE, NSDL, Tata Capital), and PSU subsidiaries with strong fundamentals and predictable cash flows.
At Safal Capital, we've been facilitating unlisted share transactions for over a decade. We track 200+ companies, verify every transaction against recent deal prints, and handle the full settlement — from KYC to demat credit — so you invest with confidence, not guesswork.

Unlisted shares are equity stakes in companies that have not yet listed on NSE or BSE. They include pre-IPO companies (like PhonePe, Zepto), established private firms (like NSE, NSDL), and PSU subsidiaries. You own real equity, held in your demat account, just in a company that isn't publicly traded yet.
Prices are set by supply and demand in the grey market, benchmarked against the company's last funding round, recent secondary transactions, and comparable listed peers. At Safal, we disclose the recent transaction range and our spread in writing before you commit, so you always know what you're paying and why.
There is no statutory lock-in for general unlisted holdings. However, if a company files a DRHP and lists, SEBI imposes a 6-month post-IPO lock-in on pre-IPO shareholders. Some primary issuances carry their own lock-in terms, which we disclose upfront.
Three routes: (1) IPO, shares become freely tradable on exchange after the lock-in period. (2) Secondary sale, we match you with another qualified buyer; this is the most common exit for non-IPO companies. (3) Company buyback, some companies periodically buy back shares from existing holders. We coordinate all three.
Unlisted shares held for more than 24 months qualify for Long-Term Capital Gains at 12.5% (post-Budget 2024). Held for less than 24 months, gains are taxed at your applicable income tax slab rate. We provide a complete capital gains computation at the time of exit.
Illiquidity is the primary risk, you may not be able to exit when you want at the price you expect. There is no daily mark-to-market, so valuation is periodic and approximate. The underlying business may underperform, and IPO timelines can shift significantly. We recommend sizing unlisted positions at 5–15% of your overall portfolio.
Most opportunities start at ₹50,000 to ₹2 lakh. Marquee names like NSE or PhonePe typically require ₹5–10 lakh per allocation. For select companies, we can accommodate smaller investors through pooled structures.
Your securities are held in your own demat account, Safal Capital never takes custody of client securities. The investment risk lies in the underlying company's performance, not in the safety of your holdings.
A short call with our advisor is the fastest way to see if Unlisted Shares is a fit for your goals.
